The Free Council
 |
"Oppenheimer was no mage¸ but how can you say he wasn't a wizard? I'm sure he'd never seen any Watchtower or Atlantis god-king or any of your other old myths. But he conjured up something the world had never seen before and changed this Earth forever. No mage had ever done what he did¸ but we consider ourselves the Awakened people. I'll bet you anything that when he saw the flash¸ he woke up¸ whether it was like us or not. Imagine what we can do when we see through the Lie and recognize that magic and science are all the same thing: wondrous." - Morton¸ Libertine Futurist
Modern Magic¸ Modern Myths
Rethink it. Rethink what you know about magic. About human history. About what's real and what's myth. The Free Council is questioning everything. Sometimes this leads to new breakthroughs in sorcery. Sometimes this leads to disaster. What it never creates… is trust.
