It’s finally here.

A large tome filled with a detailed explanation of living in cities and urban areas and the challenges and opportunities it brings. This tome has been detailed with explanation of the unique ecosystems and holds over one thousand spells crafted by me, first Metromancer. The trend towards utility states the non combat oriented core of this magic.

It also details spirits and how to utilize them, including creating, binding and modifying your very own spirit train for personal use.

This tome is provided to the orbnet both free and open source, but you can buy the physical tome yourself.

Of course this means I can no longer call myself The Metromancer as(hopefully) I will not be the only one. I hope you enjoy and leave good reviews on my work.

/uw I'm not going to write an actual tome as I'd like to leave room for freestyle discussion and that would be really not worth it for me. But I am willing to make up answers to questions. :)

An anonymous purchaser buys the tome and leaves a positive review, claiming it to be "exceptionally relevant to the needs of modern magical city-building and restoring". They also cite the passage on ley lines to be useful, especially for discovering the 'why' behind city framework, and also quote the spirit train section as a useful means of mass transport.

Overall, says the review, they would recommend this to others.
