“Now then,” said the man, “Before I cast the spell that will grant you my power, and you begin your training, there is one final thing you should know. In this world, Mistweaving is not the only kind of magic in existence. It is one of the most powerful, but it is not the only one. Other types of sorcerers, like Elementalists, Necromancers, Chronomancers, Illusionists, and many more roam the land. It would do you well to read up on them, incase you ever encounter one that intends to cause you harm.

This quest that you will undertake is one of extreme danger. It is not only Mistweavers that covet these spheres. Elementalists can use them to amplify their spells, Necromancers can use them to increase the power of their undead slaves, or even grant them magical abilities. I know not what Chronomancers could use them to do, as I know little of their magic as it is, but I would guess that it would be something horrible if used for evil, something that would change the world as we know it.”
