The Sorcerer's Apprentice Page #3

You are not doing this to me again!

Do you have any idea what my life

has been like for the last 10 years?

I've been stuck in an urn

for the last 10 years.

So have I! A figurative urn of ridicule.

Do you know that in certain parts

of the tri-state area,

they still refer

to having a nervous breakdown

as "pulling a David Stutler"?

Did you know that?

Try to be a good listener, Dave.

That doll is called the Grimhold.

It is a prison for the most dangerous

Morganians in history,

each one locked up

in a layer of the doll.

Horvath wants to free his fellow

Morganians and destroy the world.

This must not happen.

Yeah. For sure.

The truth is,

you have a very special gift.

You need to see that.

I just want to be normal.

Normal life. I want to forget about

that day at Arcana Cabana.

I want to forget about magic.

I want to forget everything.

- You should duck.

- What?

You want to forget magic?

Then why did you keep the ring?

I was going to sell that on eBay.

You're still a bad liar, Dave.

I like that about you. It's a good sign.

You have the gift.

No, I have a life.

You're the last person Horvath saw

with the Grimhold.

That puts you on his list.

So unless you want him to turn you

into a pig who just loves physics,

then you better help me

find that doll before he does.

This is crazy.

You see how crazy this is, right?

All right. All right.

You help me get it back, you're done.

- Really?

- You can walk away.

Can you please put my dresser back?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What are you... Oh, no.

Please don't do that.

What are you doing?

What?

- Whoa. What is that?

- It's my Grimhold tracking device.

Biometric pressure spell displaces

the atmosphere above the doll.

Looks like downtown.

If we can track the Grimhold,

so can Horvath.

- So why don't we just take the eagle?

- Too high-profile for a trip downtown.

- I'll have to call you a tow.

- Won't be necessary.

Yeah, but this car's been impounded

for 10 years.

This is low-profile.

She missed me.

I'm going to give you the basics.

Strictly Sorcery 101. Put on the ring.

Nothing's going to happen.

Yeah?

Kidding. You've heard how people use

only 10% of their brains?

Sorcerers can manipulate matter

because they're born with the capability

to use the entire power of their brains.

Which also explains why molecular

physics comes so easily to you.

So, wait. Is sorcery science or magic?

Yes and yes.

For now, all you need

is a basic combat spell.

Making fire.

What causes molecules to heat up?

They vibrate.

Everything we see

is in a constant state of vibration,

thus the illusion of solidity.

But how do we take

that which appears solid

and have it burst into flames?
