Book Synopsis

Path of the Magi is a d20 sourcebook of unprecedented depth! Each and every gamer, players and DMs alike, will find a wealth of information to play, design, or run wizards through the ultimate roleplaying experience. The first in a series of books, Path of the Magi marks the beginning of a renaissance in the realm of gaming where roleplaying and "roll playing" meet. The experience begins with entrance into the University of the Magus where the initiate learns all there is to know about spell craft, the guilds that master it, and those they fight. The reader also finds new spells, feats based on the zodiac signs, skills, magic items, equipment and more.
