| If you thought all wizards were alike, think again! The masters of magic now have a new guide to creating more interesting and imaginative mages, just when you thought you had them "figured out." The Complte Wizard's Handbook will put a whole new twist on wizards from personality and dress codes to schools of magic to building that dream laboratory. Look out, world—you'll never look at a mage the same way again!
