Summary: A good reference for Wizard lovers
Comment: I like the detailed oriented material, so this was right up my alley. This is great for anyone wanting to set-up a Wizards College or Mages Guild. Good ideas and useful material.

Summary: Enter with caution
Comment: Just what we needed: More spells and powers for wizards, who've had to struggle by with what they got in the Player's Handbook, Complete Wizard's Handbook, Tome of Magic and PO: Spells & Magic rules, the poor things. Here, in addition to a strangely lightly detailed College of Wizardry -- which makes an awful lot of changes to the game world for a "generic" supplement -- are too-powerful spells and proficiencies as powerful as low-level spells. This was a great idea, but DM's are better off finding a copy of either the Glantri boxed set or old D&D Gazetteer and lifting the ideas there. Some day, some one will create a great school of magic supplement. This isn't it. (Of course, since Wizards of the Coast will be doing a Harry Potter roleplaying game soon, maybe the wait won't be too terribly long at that ...)

Summary: Describes life in a magical college
Comment: Basically gives the structure of a noraml magical college's staff, from apprentices to masters. Also includes several interesting spells and magic items and a few brief adventures. The biggest point is the new proficiencies introduced. They are also the biggest drawback as it will increase a wizard's powers again unless some descretion is applied.
