1. The Knotted Staff

"Since ancient times, the Archmage has kept watch over the world of magic and its wielders. Era after era, he has passed on the mantle to his successor. The world you knew is now much bigger. You are now the Archmage."

Amos Hammond never believed in magic, or much else for that matter, until he's suddenly vested with the Mantle of Archmage. Now he has to oversee the world of magic, (mostly around his college campus in St. Augustine, Florida) albeit without any help aside from his roomate and his kinda-sorta but not really girlfriend.
