There is a #ShortStory about a poor young(?) unprivileged elf(?) #wizard that is desperate to research a spell involving #TimeTravel. It's a pretty enjoyable read even though the twist at the end would probably be considered cliched by today's standards.

I read it in #DragonMagazine or one of the other #DnD magazines of the 80s or 90s. Does this vague description ring a bell for anyone? Could you tell me the name/author? I'd like to track it down and read it again.

Some years back I divested myself of my _Dragon Magazine_ collection via Facebook, and I just found the one tranche I couldn't send to the interested party due to international shipping cost.

This is Dragon 56-60, 62-68 and they have truly been beaten to hell; only 7 have covers intact. I just want to get them to a good home, and I don't want to deal with EBay for this.

PM me if you're interested. (To clarify, I'm just looking for postage costs.)

Continued thread

A popular approach to adding and to was "make a new character class," as often did. I don't like that approach, because building a whole character class ends up adding *too* much magic to the jobs.

Creating more specific spells for traditional character classes isn't much better, because who someone spend decades studying to be a wizard just to do horoscopes?

So maybe putting those things *outside* the traditional spellcasting system is better?
