MCP SE03 - Make Believe, Part 1

A lot of people in Metamor City know about Artax, the mysterious and curmudgeonly wizard who runs the SPELLS 4 U magic shop. The number of people who actually know him is much, much smaller — and when Artax is forced to mentor a young wizard with a boatload of power and a major chip on his shoulder, he feels more alone than ever. His visions seem to hint at a dark future for this budding spellcaster — can Artax get through to him before the hothead becomes Artax’s own undoing? A look inside the head of our favorite wizard, courtesy of Bryan Watson.
