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:
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Magic is akin to science in that it always has a definite aim intimately associated with human instincts, needs, and pursuits. The magic art is directed towards the attainment of practical aims. Like other arts and crafts, it is also governed by a theory, by a system of principles which dictate the manner in which the act has to be performed in order to be effective.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1984–1942)
