Ask The Mage!

Q: My friends tell me that studying magic and becoming a mage will make me frail, weak, and unpopular with the ladies. Is it true?

-Jimmy "Insecure" Townsend

A: Don't worry, Jimmy. Your friends are referring to an unfair stereotype that started as aresult of a few lazy mages with poor eating habits. It is entirely possible to maintain peak physical condition while still finding time to master manipulating the fabric of the universe. Even members of the Kirin Tor, through strict diet and a robust exercise regime, keep themselves in great shape dispite their busy schedules. And what woman does not likePolymorph?

Q: My parents are not supportive of my decision to become a mage. They say that arcane magic is dangerous and leads to other "harder" magics like demonology. I do not want to sell my soul. Are they right?

-Joseph Winters

A: Your parents' concern is unfounded. While there are stories of mages turning to demon worship or necromancy there has been little to no evidence supporting these claims. Reassure your family that absolutely nothing can possibly go wrong.

Q: I just recently started studying the arcane and so far my friends just laugh at me. All they seem to want me around for is to conjure food and drinks and to teleport them around. When will people start respecting me?

-Gregory "Doormat" Adams

A: Right about the time you learn pyroblast.

So You Think You Can Cast: Frequently Asked Questions from First-Time Mages:

Q: I'm having trouble casting any spells at all. What can I do?

A: You may be suffering from dehydration. If you're having trouble casting a spell that you know you know, try drinking a glass of water! Proper hydration is critical to effective spellcasting.

Q: I can't cast fireblast! I just cast it a couple seconds ago and now it's not working. Help!

A: Having trouble casting a spell? Did you just cast it a few seconds ago? Some spells just won'twork twice in quick succession. Try mixing in a few different spells while you're waiting.

Q: I peeked at my friend's spellbook in the locker room, and he already has way more spells than I do! What's wrong with me?

A: First of all, this is COMPLETELY NORMAL. Be sure to talk to your trainer regularly. He or she may be able to teach you some new incantations. If not, you probably just need more practice with the spells you already know. Be patient, you'll get your spells!

Q: My co-workers all seem to be doing more damage than I do. How can I catch up with them without looking like a dufus?

A: It's not all about damage. You can aid your group in other ways - Arcane Refreshment spells are a good example. If that doesn't pan out, perhaps a career in the arcane arts isn't the right career path for you. We hear that hunting is easy!

Dalaran Dining Guide

When Inzi Charmlight opened A Hero's Welcome shortly after the city relocated, locals and visitors alike lined up to lay their weapons down and sink their teeth into a tough hunk of bread! Seating is ample, prices are fair and the full bar offers indulgences from all over the world to help you feel satisfyingly heroic. No matter what you order, save room for the Mead-Basted Caribou!

For regional fare in a less boisterous setting, try the Hocus Pocus Inn near the center of town. The open, airy inn is easy to find and serves light meals with pleasant conversation in a relaxed, library-like atmosphere. The regulars are primarily exhausted students of the arcane; no wonder the real star of the show is the incredibly skilled food that prepares and cooks itself at your table!

If you are looking for a bed, a bar and not much else, look no further than the Filthy Animal! The bar area is dark and authentically malodorous, replete at all hours with individuals of questionable character. The menu boasts such delicacies as Briny Hardcheese and it would take an army of enchanted dancing mops and buckets to make the sleeping quarters habitable. A Horde paradise indeed!
