Quote:First, because cosmic law won't LET a wizard rule the world-

something or someone always stops you before you can cast the last

rune, and then it's be cut down by the barbarian time, or be shot by

the dashing hero time, or get your butt kicked by some martial artist

whose name probably begins with R, ends with A, and is an

aquatransexual time. (This is called foreshadowing.)

Second, because even if you DID rule the world, the time it

would take to administer it would take time away from the arcane

studies that magi like so much.

And third, because in the honest opinion of most real mages,

it's a lot more gratifying to kick back with a sixpack and a cute

nature spirit, watch "The Witches of Eastwick" and poke fun at the

errors, and cuddle a bit.
