A Sourcerer's Apprentice

by Devlin O'Neill

Tabitha Pennywhistle is just your everyday sourcerer’s apprentice. She spends her time gathering herbs and seeds and wasp venom and other natural products so that her boss, Mother Hibbard, can whip up the lotions, potions, balms, emollients, the tinctures, the tonics, and all the traditional trade goods of the sourcerer’s art. But Mother teaches skills other than how to make a supremely soothing salve for a sorely spanked situpon. On some moon-dark nights, bats and owls and nighthawks are not the only denizens of the starlit skies. One might call this magic. But it is magic only if you don’t know how the trick is done. Come, once more, and let Devlin O’Neill show you how things work in the fanciful and fantastic land of Neverwasnia.
