The Wizard's Wager (Part 1)

The tale of an unwise wizard and his wager

During my long and winding travels, I have become extremely adept at tracking and acquiring lost spells. So much so, that I am afraid I became rather overconfident at my own ability. This flaw led me to engage in a most unwise bet.

I had met a long time friend of mine – a master treasure hunter named Absynth – in our favorite tavern. In the warmth of the hearth I was bragging about my accomplishments. In response, he proposed the wager: find eight undocumented spells (one for each school of magic) and do so before the end of the season. For his part, a large amount of gold would be my reward. But should I fail, I would become his personal magician for a year.

Below I document the results of my frantic three month search. As for who collected on the bet... I shall save that as a surprise for the end.
