Episode 240 - The Battle for the Books

Rowan Gray, wielding a Lightning Arrow! "Is it a Concentration spell? No, it doesn't say it is. It just says 'Tim's fucked'." ~ Michael Episode 240 - The Battle for the Books Finding the diary of a crazed wizard is a tough thing. Do you read it? Do you read it extra carefully because the wizard may have put strange arcane spells within the dusty pages? You have to read it, of course. There is just too much potential knowledge that you just have to ignore the danger and barrel forward. Libraries and Books are the true dangers of our world, not those pesky dragons or dank dungeons.
