<p class="u">To my Nephew, Arnold Thorp</p>
My Uncle was a very strange man.
He had never been too fond of anyone.
During one of his rare visits, he only seemed to show
interest in my grades.
It came as a shock to everyone,
that he had left me a basement full of documents.
The handwriting was neat and even, but it held a sort of restlessnes.
<p class="u">I have decided to leave you this archive.
It is my lifes work.</p>
I could smell the pages of the archive. The place felt
a lot older than the colonial house above.
<p class="u">These documents are like no other.
They are a map of my mind,
as well as the minds of many others.
Minds very much unlike our own.</p>
My eyes rolled from their sockets.
I had been left an endless collection of useless pulpy nonsense,
and conspiracy theories.
[[And yet somehow...]]Somehow...I felt a strange urge to [[read on]]<p class="u">This archive is a trove of forbidden knowledge.
The information here is the legacy of the scarce few,
capable of the practice of old magic arts.</p>
I felt my patience slipping.
I glanced a little further.
<p class="u">The paragraph you skipped was empty. This spell is
a trivial one. The one thing I ask of you, as you wander
through this archive, and begin to work its spells...</p>
The words were beyond Emphasized. They leapt out of the page, filling me with dread.
<p class="u">[[DO NOT GET CAUGHT!]]</p><p class="u">My work in the government was processing records of compromized mages.
I have littered these pages with tips and tricks that will hopefully prevent you from becoming an overclocked NSA CPU.
Anyway, begin at [[file cabinet A1]]
(note, that much of this archive lacks in basic organization, I leave figuring out that part to you.)</p>The first of the massive metal file cabinets towers above you.
You pick up the [[first]] file.
You pick a [[random]] file.<p class="u">A mage isn’t a mage until he’s filled a file cabinet with novel spells.
A great mage, is first and formost curious.
He is eager to uncover what has been lost, and what has yet to be found.</p><p class="u">That is an approach, <em>I guess.</em></p>
[[You grab another ‘Random’ note.]]
