Tongue-in-cheek and deliciously droll, "Cornelius Rumstuckle" is the fictional narrator of The Book of Wizardry. Now featuring a new cover, this highly entertaining guide to wizardry makes genuine magical ideas accessible to young adults.
Brennan's fun wizard training manual is filled with interactive activities: how to make a wand and other wizard tools, discover your Wizard's name, switch on Wizard's Power, read the future in the Wizard's Oracle, and more. Those who successfully complete the Wizard's Adventure and crack the code in this book can become an accredited member of the Wizard's Guild.

Lesson One: The Theory of Wizardry
Wizardry works from the inside out. There, I've said it. That's one of the biggest Wizard secrets there is. Used to be they'd lock you in a crystal cave for telling anybody that one. Or burn you at the stake. But there you have it, right up front for everyone to see. Wizardry works from the inside out.
Bet you don't know what it means, though. I feel funny coming right out and explaining, but that's what I'm going to do. Here goes . . .
If you want to work magic-real magic, not conjuring or any other sort of tricks-you have to look inside your head. Even when you're using things like wands or spells or secret symbols, the magic starts between your ears.
Try it now. Sit down, close your eyes, and find out what's in your head. Dark, isn't it? And noisy. You keep chattering to yourself. Yes, you do. All the time. Every minute of your waking day it's talk, talk, talk, talk, chitter, chatter, chatter. We'll have to do something about that later, but first I want you to do something about the dark. I want you to imagine a bright light.
Now notice a couple of things. The first is that it isn't dark inside your head anymore. You've made it light. You've redecorated the inside of your head. The second is that you have control of what goes on in there. You just switched on a light. You can switch it off again as easily. Inside your head, you can do anything you want. That's what I mean by control.
Let's try using a bit of that control now. Instead of just imagining a bright light, I want you to imagine a country scene: woods, hills, grass, a stream, happy cows-all that nonsense. Not difficult, was it? Not difficult at all. Even though there's a lot more to imagine in a country scene than there is in a bright light, you did it just as easily. I expect that's because you've already had a lot of practice daydreaming. (Oh, yes, I know all about your daydreaming, too. And I know the sort of things you daydream about. Disgraceful. Quite disgraceful.)
But let me tell you what you're doing now isn't just daydreaming. It's controlled daydreaming and there's a huge difference. Here comes the next big secret of Wizardry: If you take control of what goes on inside your head, you take control of what goes on outside it. Sounds really easy, doesn't it? ...
