Minor Mage

Oliver is a self-proclaimed 'very minor mage,' a title reinforced daily by his sarcastic familiar, a badger named Phlegm. With only three spells to his name (one of which is an anti-allergy charm for armadillo dander), he's hardly a magical prodigy. Yet, when a terrible blight sweeps through his village, transforming people into trees, Oliver finds himself their unlikely last hope. Guided by cryptic instructions and his ever-grumpy companion, Oliver must journey through a world brimming with bizarre creatures, dangerous landscapes, and truly formidable magical challenges, all while grappling with his profound inadequacy. This charming and often hilarious adventure explores themes of courage in the face of overwhelming odds, the true nature of heroism, and finding strength in unexpected places, proving that even a very minor mage can make a very major difference.
