From the introduction The classic image of a mage is a wealthy scholar, usually male, sequestered away in an ivory tower. Surrounded by books, familiars, and strange instruments of all sorts, he is content to perform his experiments and work his rituals in pleasant solitude, knowing that the outside world will never intrude on what is truly important. Would that you could have that. Ivory towers don’t come cheap nowadays. An entry in the Rentpunk gamejam.
