magus

The Magus is a book with a well connected beginning and end, almost seamless if you like.

Being a coder in this brave new world is akin to being a magus in the old times.

This is having a huge chilling effect on our renewables buildout as the magus shakedowns are capricious and massive increase investment risk.

Why else do you think Magus joined up with the bastards who invaded his home, beat up his friends, and nearly killed him?

I mean if you're a medieval artist, what're you going to go to, with a weird and wonderful magus boxing up some myrrh and frank, incensed cookies?

Langgraph-style libraries exist (there's one called Magus that I've used) but I think that's where there could be some more efforts.

Actually, if you choose to duel him, Magus will die.

Many people go crazy with this power, in what we call magus-itis.

I'm typing this from my workstation, 'magus'.

I dunno, I got one of their albums on Google Play Music (before Google killed it) and it just didn't grab me the way Hammerfall or Grand Magus did.

I can definitely see Magus as a campaign manager, though.

Other favorites: Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner, In Our Time by Hemingway, The Magus by John Fowles, 100 years of solitude, Moby Dick (perhaps a precursor to all modern fantasy?) Stranger in a Strange Land, and Infinite Jest.

And it's worth noting that the earliest branded heretic in Christianity, Simon Magus, who joined the church before leaving, was allegedly talking about "an indivisible point" in his Great Announcement.

> [Magus] can even join your party later if you beat him in a one-on-one duel.

Everytime I see it, I think of John Fowles' The Magus.
