There was a land, long ago, that had been scoured of magic. It is strange to say, it is strange to believe, but there it was: a world without runes, without sigils and even without potions. How did this happen? How it usually happens. With a decision by one man... Even though magic has been dead for a century, Edric, an old student of Clover Academy wants to convince his professor Sorrel that he's rediscovered it. Sorrel, however, wants to convince Edric that the magic he's performing is all in his mind. Written by: Jonathan Cohen Narrated by: Joe Cruz A Faustian Nonsense production.
