People are generally anti-murder, as a rule, I find. I mean, unless they're evil. Or bandits. Or murderers, I guess. I'm sorry though, that sounds terrible. :( Especially the sacrificing part.
I don't know who that is or what a hobbit is so I couldn't say for sure, but I don't think I'm that old.
I was going to ask that! You must be psychic or something. Or maybe you just get asked that a lot. Do magicians in your world use actual magic? They don't in my world, they just used slight of hand to put on shows for people! My friend Raist I know some slight of hand too, though I'm not a magician! Wizards at home that don't study with the Conclave are called renegade wizards, but they're usually renegades because they're afraid or too weak to take the Test.
