Their greatest allies in their quest are the otherselves, manifestations of wizards both impossibly ancient and not yet born, who allow them to wield powers beyond human comprehension to break and reshape reality.

The life of a wizard is a hard one indeed, and you're going to need all the luck and friends you can find.
