| book text = It is a great paradox among our kind, who so value the art of learning, that we believe ourselves ever-cannier than the ones who came before. If envy is the disease of the artist, hubris is that of the wizard. Though I fear my warning will fall on deaf ears, I will say it again: The closer a wizard creeps to the domain of the divine, the closer oblivion creeps with him. I thought myself an equal to Mystra and devised a plan to make myself her equal. I would pluck one strand of Weave and contain it within an amulet I spent the better portion of my years devising. How regret instantly heaved itself upon my head. I was trapped within the amulet instantaneously and passed around from collector to curio hall for the better part of a millenium. Only now that I am freed - with barely the strength to hold my quill - can I leave this final warning as testimony. | | book text = It is a great paradox among our kind, who so value the art of learning, that we believe ourselves ever-cannier than the ones who came before.
