Luck is an interesting phenomenon. It has been studied by magi for as far back as recorded history goes, and to this day scholars are divided between whether or not it exists. But you don't care about that, I imagine. No, you picked this book up because you wanted a good dose of luck, regardless of whether or not your local magic academy professor believes it actually exists. Well, you're - dare I say - in luck. Because this book documents the easiest and simplest form of luck that there is. You see, sometimes you get luck that's very precise - but unless you really need a lot of high-quality apples, it doesn't really benefit you if every a

Brimstone heated by nearby currents of magma typically makes great bedding for nesting Flamelings caring for their freshly hatched young. But today, there was more than flamelings in the volcanic tunnels the Flameling flock took shelter in. Today, they had a visitor - a young Shadow Sneak, which had snuck in - through the shadows no less - out of curiosity. Most of the Flamelings were sleeping, some occasionally moving about or waking briefly to check on their young. The air in the lava tube chamber - searing hot to humans but pleasantly warm for the Flamelings, had a lazy stillness to it. The temperature didn't matter to the Shadow Sneak -

This story is brought to you by Boopets' renowned 'Hatchlings and Fresh Spawns Readings", a name brand in books for sentient, predatory Boopet parents looking to teach their children the values of predation. To avoid offending your more sensitive non-predatory friends who might pick up this book, we have set the story in the human dimension, using human animals. For descriptions and pictures of each thing in the human universe, see the back insert - we have numbered each of them in the text for easy reference. The bunny (1) sniffed, then froze. A wolf (2) was near. The bunny sat perfectly still for a moment, until the slightest rustle of sn

Pollen. A word spoken with dread in most household across Boopets. Understandably so. However, an unfortunate consequence of this have been the Pollen Panics, the most severe being the Panics of 197 and 209, when Boopets all over our world were driven into a frenzy over travelers to the human universe where bringing pollen back into this one. Let's put this misconception to rest please. When humans have pollen, it's from millions of different plant species, neither of which have ever had to really struggle to survive. Plants in the human world did not have to cope with foot deep deposits of volcanic ash covering all the soil, or smog blackin

If you've been in Boopets for any prolonged period of time, you've probably noticed that Boopets and volcanoes go hand in hand. Volcanoes are by far and wide the most widespread and dominant landmarks. Sure, they don't crowd the landscape so much that every step you take is on one, but if you scan the horizon, you're likely to see at least one, and more likely than not, a handful more than just one. (Note: Readers from the human side of things who expect mountains and volcanoes to be prefaced with the abbreviation "Mt." for "mount", should be aware that on Boopets, a mountain that isn't a volcano was for most of our history considered both ra

It's rather upsetting to me that the truth about crop circles has been kept from the citizens of Boopets for so long. It didn't have to be this way. Ultimately, of course, this is the fault of elite mages and sorcerers in power, who have a vested interest in keeping the truth behind a veil of secrecy and lies. Elite magic wielders who secretly kept their power even when they were supposed to lock it away or keep it in reserve only for the public good. The magic wielders have carefully woven an intricate tapestry of deception - pulled the wool over our eyes. In this book, I will recount several days of my life - days I spent as a 2nd Lieutenan

Of all the creatures that roam the Boopets world, none are as mysterious or as varied between frightfully dangerous and wonderfully benevolent, as the Snowmen. Snowmen are fairly powerful beings, which appear sporadically due to the interplay of magical energies. It is not known what exact circumstances give birth to these creatures, or even if they are truly 'created' when magical energy pools or collides in just the right way, or if they're interdimensional beings that for one reason or another, manifest around such energies. You might be wondering why they are called snowmen, if their true nature is that of magical beings. This is due to

Ah, it's that time of year again - dimensions align just right, and enterprising creatures, be they boopet or boovillager, can enter the realm of those silly human things, and terrorize them a little. So what kind of mischief can you get up to during the night of Halloween? Honestly, quiet a lot - the sky is the limit, really, but we thought we'd put together this handy little guide of tips and tricks, and categorize them by topic/goal: Disguises (blending in): Now, one thing many Booresidents forget is that humans in our neighbor dimension do not expect to see real ghosts or spooks or other creatures on Halloween. To most of them, it's a g

Blood and chocolate - most people don't appreciate that combination. But then again, most people aren't vampires. Being a vampire is a funny experience. You live your life alternating between hunting beings beneath you on the food chain, and hiding from your food when they finally figure out what you are and set out to kill you. Your state of being is both reviled and oddly admired. You have access to certain magical talents innately, but the rest of the powers that a magic user could command are outside your grasp - forever. You live indefinitely - provided you cut short the lives of others by. Indefinitely is a long time. You get tired. Th

So you've decided to buy a house. Naturally, as a Boovillager, you want one of the haunted ones - and who could blame you? Boopets haunted houses, as everyone knows, are only haunted because they reside on nexuses of magical power. Now, far be it from this buyer's guide to speculate on what you might want access to tremendous cosmic power for, but you're a discerning, savvy consumer, probably a successful entrepreneur, and you deserve it, regardless of what those stuffy 'maintaining the balance of the Boopets universe' sorcerers might think. So let's get down to business. For starters, if you bought this guide you might want to know how much
