Minor Mage

Oliver was a very minor mage. His familiar reminded him of this several times a day. He only knew three spells, and one of them was to control his allergy to armadillo dander.

His attempts to summon elementals resulted in nosebleeds, and there is nothing more embarrassing than having your elemental leave the circle to get you a tissue, pat you comfortingly, and then disappear in a puff of magic. The armadillo had about wet himself laughing.

He was a very minor mage. Unfortunately, he was all they had.

Such a Minor Mage

Definitely enjoyed the armadillo’s sarcasm. Minor Mage is a brief novel that tells the story of a truly Minor mage. My family enjoys listening to audio books as we drive. This creative look at the first quest of a very young mage was very entertaining and I hope some day a follup, Not So Minor is released.

Really enjoyed this!

Perfect novella “pallet cleanser” between big series reads. Cute, engaging story loved it more than I expected!

Think on your feet

A person's abilities are only as "minor" as they allow themselves to be. An adventure about thinking on your feet, working with your actual abilities, and perseverance. Fun with danger and macabre tones, this is a good book, though a little short. I especially enjoyed the way magic works - a mix of emotions, knowledge, and practice.

Good

Good but more for younger readers. Reader does a good job. Still a good book

Charming Tale of a Young Wizard

Oliver is forced/sent on a quest and instead of wishing for more power he must learn to lean on his strengths and compassion.
