THE STORY OF THE SPELLS

"In the beginning (well, more like 1315), there was the Shadow. The Shadow was an almost invisible creature, and grew discontent because he had nobody to annoy using his Shadow powers.

By 1322 he was so unhappy that he tried to create things by himself. He procured a single small platform of land. This, however, drained his entire life force; thus, he fell, dead, onto the platform.

His spirit lived on in two beings: a raven and a tree. The raven's name was Nightstar, and the tree's name was Bartelby. We now know them to be extremely old, but back then, Nightstar was a fledgling and Bartelby was but a shoot poking out of the ground.

In 1384 Bartelby accidentally expanded the platform while uttering random words. Unforunately, Bartelby was unable to remember which words he had said to expand the land.

Over a ten-year span, Nightstar crafted the Eyes of Time. With the Eye of the Past, Bartelby was able to retrieve the memory of the expansion spell. Eventually the land became a world. Nightstar and Bartelby called it the First World, and set out to inhabit it with creatures.

The duo created the Giants, the Dragons, and the Tritons. Like all siblings, they began to fight. The Dragons melted the Giants' ice castles. The Tritons extinguished the Dragons' fire breath. The Giants froze the Tritons' mighty seas.

This resulted in a three-hundred-year stalemate. By 1686, however, the conflicts were causing the First World to break apart, and Bartelby knew he had to intervene. He cast a banishment spell on the Tritons, the Dragons, and the Giants; who, as a final act of revenge, smashed the World into fifteen pieces that spun away, orbiting the largest chunk (which we know today as Wizard City). This distressed Bartelby. He could only control what happened on his piece of the World, while the others had to be relied on to develop independently...."
