Overview

Drawn from The Power of Two in-game book.EQ1Primary · official · best available source

A magician has many tools at his or her disposal. Oftentimes a magician can accomplish tasks that many others cannot. This is done by the ability to summon anything and everything that he or she would need. A magician is self-sufficient, and can maintain his or her own existence completely bereft of the assistance of others. It is rare to see a magician that is not followed by an elemental. This summoning is but one of many, but is obviously the most beneficial to the caster. These elementals come in a variety of shapes and in a variety of sizes, each unique in its own way. A wise magician will have a variety of elemental summonings in his spell arsenal, and will use each as the situation demands. The most notable use of these elementals is in battle. For if a magician knows his enemy's weakness, it is very likely that he has an elemental that will exploit it.

On Language, Research & Magic

In-game bookVerant/SOE

…Geoffrey, Arch Mage of Norrath Much of the recent research done by young Magi has dealt with the piecing together of old spells. Since many of the spell fragments found are not written in common, I have been asked to write a brief treatment on languages, research and magic.
