A book written by Ryne Lynne covering basic magical knowledge, completed around 1200. It has now become the standard introductory text for the Continental Magic Association, with the original manuscript lost.
*Surface contradicts essence; outside and within interchange. *
The book documents the costs and regrets of studying magic, as well as the fundamental principles of wielding it — the magnum opus of ArchMage Ryne Lynne in their later years, during the budding age.
Ryne's tone is urgent, as if doubting there's much time left.
