The Magician's Niece

"Uncle Maynard was the only magician in our family - heck, our extended family for four generations. In fact, we were the only family in town that had a mage of any rank. Shortly after I turned 12, Uncle said that I might have the talent also - would I like to learn magic? Would I?! Of course I jumped at the chance and at 16 I am doing very well at elemental spells (not elementary spells - I finished them at 13!), and can cast more advanced spells with a quick read in the Magician’s Tome. Oh, by the way, if you have any questions, just “ask Ariana about...” - that’s me of course!"
