Summary: A good read, but not particularly game-enhancing
Comment: This book contains a large amount of enjoyable information on the various schools of magic and provides a host of kits, but if you have a clear idea of what your character is like, none of it is really going to enhance your enjoyment of the game. The methods for researching new spells given are pointless, you could have invented much better rules yourself. There are also far too few new items (in fact, there are basically NO new items).

Having said that, the new spells are worthwhile, and the afflictions are pretty cool. If you are an avid wizard fan, a good and recommended purchase, but it does not really provide as much "meat" as it should do.

Summary: Adds new dimensions to one of the most popular classes
Comment: This wonderful book will make your wizardly characters come alive - here you'll find endless details on the schools of magic, specialists, spellcasting, wizard kits (subclasses), roleplaying personae, spells in combat, spells above 9th level (!), exhaustive rules on illusions (at last!), spell research, familiars, chaos magic, wizards' towers, and more; this tome is full of amazing ideas that will improve your campaign immensely! One of the best books in the PHBR series.

Summary: Mage background for D&D
Comment: The book is not their best handbook. It would be about 5th. And really does not have any good kits like the thiefs or Bards etc. The main thing to note is that D&D is now on its 3rd edition; and this book is for the 2nd. So really not practical. But can only be used for beackground.

This handbook has a good chapter on roleplaying mages and on spell research as well as spellcasting under adverse conditions. This book is good for customizing a campaign or making new spells, items, or schools as well. There are also a couple of new spells.
