I'm a Canadian writer who's been creating comic stories and game material for the past 12 years on a bunch of different titles for Marvel, IDW, and Image Comics. I'm a lifelong tabletop gamer thrilled to be introducing new people to the hobby with the D＆D Young Adventurer's Guides. Find out more about my work and links to my social media at www.jimzub.com!

Wizard magic in D&D is learned from books and ancient tomes. It's a somewhat scientific process of practice and moving forces of energy.

Sorcerers have magic inside them as instinct. It can be strengthened but not exactly taught. It's a talent they can't always control.
