- [Librarian's note. This odd item just won't go away. Every time we
- lend it out, it just appears back in the stacks.... Even burning it
- didn't work....]
-
- The Adepts' Manifesto.
-
- ``Mastery of the World can only be achieved by the Master of the Self.
- For one who has total Self-Control, all things are possible.''
-
- [Obvious hyperbole -- Librarian]
-
- ``The apex of High Magic is a triviality for a true Adept.''
-
- [Surely, this is exaggeration -- Librarian]
-
- ``An Adept makes his own Destiny, and Destiny caters to the whims of
- an Adept.''
-
- [Oh, come now, be serious. -- Librarian]
-
- ``Only Self-Improvement can lead to Adepthood. Those who have not
- raised their personal attributes to the highest values will
- be inevitably destroyed in their quest for Adepthood.''
-
- [Say what? -- Librarian]
-
- ``The Challenge of Adepthood is maintained by the Lords of Destiny.''
-
- [Nonsense! -- Librarian]
-
- ``An Adept-Aspirant must be prepared to go beyond the trivial powers of
- Magic, even spurning the tawdry attractions of Artifacts, if the
- Aspirant would achieve Adepthood.''
-
- [Me, I'll take the Artifacts... -- Librarian]
-
- ``The final test of an Adept is Mastery of that Void which lies both
- within and without the Self.''
-
- [Zen Gobbledygook. -- Librarian]
-
- ``Only an Adept can become a Total Winner.''
-
- [What the heck is a Total Winner? -- Librarian]
