- Being un Explication et Tretys on ye Powers of Hy Magick.
-
- It ys whysper'd among the dark mages of Kulthar and also ye Gnomes of
- Zrenheim that Hy Magick is unattainable. But I know the truth! Hy
- Magick ys hard to come bye, tis true, but ye mightie and ye fortunat
- may even discover ye secrets thereof with carful application of
- their talents. It ys known that many have had the oppportunitie to
- invoke ye Hy Magick but have failed du to ignorance, or fear.
- For knoe ye this: If Hy Magick be not invoked with exactitude,
- it will not manifest, so ye mages, ye prentices, ye thaumaturges,
- ye seers: Hearken! And learn ye the proper words of invocation.
- Make sure the word is spoken precislie as I put it herein.
-
- 'Death' is said by some to be a blessing, and it may be had from
- ye offices of Hy Magick as I put it.
-
- Many practicers of the Recondite Arts might wish for 'Power', but
- this ys truelie not as great an office as one myte desyre, being
- of strong but ephemeral effect.
-
- 'Skill', howbeit, ys a very fortunat benefice of Hy Magick.
-
- Let not ye greed for material possessions best ye, for 'Wealth'
- does not signifie so much as some other choyces.
-
- The ones who walk the Way of the Druid may have occasion to request
- 'Balance' of ye Hy Magick, while other clarical seekers may
- desire 'Law' or 'Chaos'.
-
- Truelie, 'Knowledge' is a great thing to gayn of the Hy Magick.
-
- Those poor ones who are afflicted myte well wish for 'Health'.
-
- Travellers culd find theyr destinations with 'Location'.
-
- Shuld a certain ytem of power be beyond thy grasp, 'Acquisition'
- mought well gayn yt for thee.
-
- Those seekers who learn from ye studie ye beast supernal could
- wish for 'Summoning'.
-
- Onlie True Adepts may wish for 'Destruction', it ys sayed.
-
- It ys mine hope that this list may be of servis to other seekers after
- Wysdom.
