Eh. I've read several western fantasy novels already and frankly only the Cabens and Magelos strike me as something I'd want to learn more about. The first because I'm fascinated by the Monkey King trickster martial artist archetype, and the latter because frankly, aside from Warcraft's concept of the Light not as a religion but as a perfection of self (" The Holy Light is the glory of the universe reflected upon the soul and mirrored back onto itself. "), only the runemaster concept in fantasy games intrigues me, specifically WoW.

Alchemy used to interest me, but then they butchered it. What should have been the end goal of all alchemy: the rubedo, mortal (lead) into the divine (gold), a journey that spans from the prima materia's enlightened journey and ends in his apotheosis into the ultima materia, the Philosopher's Stone made manifest, well it's a great concept. They hardly ever do it right.
