100 Books to Find on a Mage’s Bookshelf

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Knowledge is power, as any mage understands, and books can be a source of knowledge. They can also be a source of misinformation and errors, whether deliberate or not. This is a collection of 100 different books that could be found on a mage’s bookshelf. They include subjects such as history, biographies and theory. They are actual, at least intended to be, as they could be deliberate misinformation or just plain wrong. The books can be used to flesh out the bookshelf of another mage, or an organisation’s library. Whether or not a particular book is of any use is up to the Storyteller. Some books may be valuable; others may be filled with erroneous rubbish. The titles are all given in English, although the books may be based on non-English works. They may also be based on older works, with these just being a more recent edition.

This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.

Here are some sample results:

  • Interpreting the Tarot by Mathias Schlager (An extremely esoteric work on how the tarot applies to mages, taken from a heavily mystic standpoint and mostly the author’s own interpretations)
  • Investigating Resonance by Bertrand MacLeish (The author’s studies of various locations known to have a strong Resonance, with an emphasis on those that are unpleasant)
  • Jodi Blake: A Warning from History by Lucía Tasis (A biography of Jodi Blake, the Matriarch, and how she stands as a warning for other mages as to the dangers of corruption)
  • Leaving the Unimaginative by Ada Lowther (How the Electrodyne Engineers split from the Technocrats after the Lightning Purge and the Inner Circle’s attempt to reign them in, forming the new Sons of Ether; written by an author who clearly favours the Etherites imaginative strange science over the order of the Technocratic Union)
  • Legends of Midrealm by Vegar Hage (The Midrealm, in all its names, and its appearance in mythology and legend in many different cultures)


One page is the front cover and one the front matter.

This is a nice little book describing 100 books that a mage could have on their shelf. The books are fairly sparsely defined with a title, author and a very brief description. They are good for a bit of flavor and could act as the basic version of a gr [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
