Dig in, breathe out.
Determination comes
Like a candle in a storm,
On its own it will flicker away and snuff out.
Build up and watch what comes.
Only with the right foundation will your determination bring something home
What it brings,
Be what it will be,
But if it is me, you will see
Exactly what kind of lout
Has these pleasant kinds of nightmares.

What is a rad mage? We just don't know.
