At the end of the war is when the Wizards Council began they where given
the task of taking care of matters and of helping to be ready in case

if you see a house wife come out with a smoken face it is usually cause
she just tried magic on food =)

understand and create spells and communicate better.
The children do this gladly so that they may be ready for the study of
