This volume in The Enchanted World series focuses on the legends and lives of those humans who learned, by means fair or foul, the art of magic and used it to wonders. The first chapter is about the ancient god-like spellcasters of Scandinavia and Great Britian whose powers made them almost one with nature itself. The latter chapters are set in the Middle ages where the lesser magic of the time was more like a forbidden science, wringing knowledge of how to change the world around them from summoned spirits, both the careful scholarly wizards and more humble but greedy witches made unwise pacts with demons and those who were a bit between them like Dr Faustus.
