I : Interviewer

M : The Mystic

I : Have you ever been in a situation when you thought you weren’t going to make it?

M : Many times, but my luck always seems to pull me through. Now of course I don’t really believe in luck. We make our own luck based on our actions. So if you’re proactive you make your own luck. Even though things seem impossible I have confidence I can get through it based on my lived experience.

I : Do you feel there is a situation you can’t handle?

M : Sure, it just hasn’t come about yet. One of these days my luck will run out and I’ll be screwed. Probably won’t realize it while it’s happening so it will come as a big surprise.

I : Do you carry a talisman?

M : Yes, my walking staff if my talisman. It’s been imbued with the ability to spark magic, so I can use it to create a wide variety of magics.

I : Do you use your staff this way a lot?

M : Dozens of times each day. It’s really defines me as a wizard, beyond just a mystic.

I : Do you have a signature piece of magic?

M : As far as I know I’m the only wizard that knows how to transport. It’s something I discovered in an extremely high energy situation and most wizards can’t control their magic in such situations. I learned how out of necessity.

I : You’re talking about the time you escaped a deep bear trap in the Dragon’s Ridge.

M : That’s right. The trap had been set for a giant bears that live on the Dragon’s Ridge. It had to be fifty feet deep, with the sides as smooth as glass. IT was obviously created by a wizard as no magicians or shamans has the power to create such a surface.

I : Well, we’re out of time.

M : I look forward to when we meet again.
