Nakor's Views On Magic
Nakor's views on magic are seemingly revolutionary in the world of Midkemia. His thoughts, though mostly abstract, have impacted the perception of magic.
Nakor believes that the universe is a big expanding bubble, and that rifts are bends in the bubble. As a result of his thoughts he has split the students of Stardock into a new group, called the Blue Riders, that follow his teachings.
Nakor's beliefs have annoyed traditionalist magicians to no end, yet he has the respect and admiration of many magicians.

Famous quotes containing the words views and/or magic:
“It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“A full bosom is actually a millstone around a woman’s neck: it endears her to the men who want to make their mammet of her, but she is never allowed to think that their popping eyes actually see her. Her breasts ... are not parts of a person but lures slung around her neck, to be kneaded and twisted like magic putty, or mumbled and mouthed like lolly ices.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
