this is very interesting. You know a lot about magic( i guess that comes from reading). I'll read more as soon as i fing the time.

Lovely! I like Korah, he sounds like someone I know...and thus the story is all the more amusing to read.
Please continue this.

I love wolves, too, so this chapter wa s a winner with me. The Wolf folk were well-described and totally believable.

thanks for letting me know you updated. If you have time,I'd be very happy if you'd visit one of my stories. ^_^

aah! *whaps head on nearby wall* too good! too good!

hm...
gotta love prophecies

just to let eveyone know that almost all of the names were chosen by me and panthers are my favorite animal along with dolphins and horses. the only thing that i didnt have a part in this is the story line and kristi's genious of writing this amazing story

I like the panther very much. :)

And I have a real soft spot for my anti-heroes too...

excellent chpater.

Xahar is cool.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention in my review of chapter 1, the idea of having the staff turn to the size of a wand is a good one. I always used to wonder how a wizard lugged a big heavy staff around everywhere. ;)

Ah, very, very nice. I love the elemental spirits' names. Saphirin and Aerein are cool.

Just my type of story. :)

wo finallt erik gets his story from his girlfriend yea. i love what you have so far keep up your amazing work. woo hoo

Good story, I can't wait til you write more. I want to see how the adventre turns out.

This is very well done.. i love how you describe all the things... it adds such a good aura to the story... good job.. keep up the great work

Excellent story. i like the elegant way you make them talk. not the careless way of authors (such as myself) today, making them say things that follow our lingo. it reminds me a bit of the video games final fantasy; just because its the only place i have heard of a mage. but they are great games and i see a great story evolving out of this one.

PS please read and review my story.

Mages and magic are just cool, so I HAD to check out your story! :) Here are my thoughts, as I read through it (just to warn you, I'm a grammar Nazi!):
1.) "He attended the Academy of Magic..." Try 'had attended' to keep in the right tense.
2.) Commas are good. For example: "In accordance to tradition..." Add commas after 'tradition' and 'wooden'. Read through your entire story aloud and add commas wherever you pause in speaking!
3.) "hearken my words..." I think you mean 'harken,' because 'hearken' isn't a word!
4.) I like the teasing between Eldred and Erik! :) Eldred strikes me as a cool character.
I really like it! Can't wait for the next chapter! :) Thanks!

This is a great beginning. You've really done a good job setting up your characters. ^_^
