You know, I think this week's been pretty fun. I mean, it's kinda hard work, but how often do you get to sleep under the stars with this many people? It's a great opportunity to meet new faces, and you gotta admit, fish tastes so much better when it's cooked on a real fire!

But there's just one thing missing

Hmm. I don't know any ghost stories, but I've got a scary one.

Once upon a time, a thriving world lived in peace, its inhabitants living cheerily from day to day, going about their merry business. It was a joyful world where elves, humans, dwarves, and all manners of creatures coexisted in harmony. They lived at the beginning of a great new age of enlightenment led by the foremost scholars of the land.

Then one day all magic suddenly disappeared for no reason whatsoever. Everyone died.

THE END

How's that? Dramatic, right?

Um... yeah, Professor. It was... It was so epic I have no idea what to say about it!

Was it really supposed to be "scary"?
'Course everyone dying is no good, but...

Terrifying! Imagine! A world with no magic. It'd be like living in a world with . . . no sunlight.

I don't think it's quite the same thing. For starters, the world wouldn't go dark if magic disappeared! At least we'd still be able to see what's in front of our noses.

Consider this.

Without magic, the Summon Spirits would vanish, as would the elves as they succumbed to mortality. Without these guardians to preserve the mana stream, life as we know it would end. I mean that quite literally. Everyone died is not an exaggeration.
