The comedic duo behind The Government Manual for New Superheroes is
back, and this time they've brought their magic wands and enchanted
artifacts.
The Government Manual for New Wizards is a hilarious, mock-official
handbook for wannabe witches and warlocks who need advice on recognizing
the onset of wizardolescence, understanding the laws of magic (and the
magic of laws), choosing (or being chosen by) the right magical items
and enchanted artifacts, dealing with the dead (grateful and otherwise),
successfully hosting magical exhibitions, and the proper care and
feeding of magical creatures.
Wands, charms, cloaks of invisibility, shoes of stealth (or sneakers),
and other otherworldly accoutrements--it's all here, discussed
tongue-in-cheek but with the utmost Governmental authority.
This entertaining guide offers such sage advice as:
* A demon is just as afraid of you as you are of it--provided, of
course, that you are eight feet tall, composed of living fire, and
capable of destroying a small village with a single angry thought.
Otherwise, it doesn't find you frightening at all.
* When selecting educational programs, do not be tempted by
solicitations from wizardry parchment mills. A so-called degree from
such a place is not worth the scroll on which it appears to be
inscribed. The ink will disappear not long after the school itself does.
The Government Manual for New Wizards is a sidesplitting spoof of all
things wizard-y.
