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:
“The absolute things, the last things, the overlapping things, are the truly philosophic concerns; all superior minds feel seriously about them, and the mind with the shortest views is simply the mind of the more shallow man.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
