Sparks

The Sparks of True Magic trilogy, respectively, consists of 3 books.

Reviews about such a work from readers are different. Some like it, some don't, some find mistakes, others compare with other authors, which is inevitable. The reviews are mostly positive, although some get confused in the names. The author explains the confusion by the fact that the names were invented in the original version, and then he began to change them throughout the cycle, but perhaps missed it somewhere.

The first part of the trilogy

Myasoedov's book "Sparks of True Magic" tells about three old friends - Yaroslav, Artem, Victor. They once went to the cemetery in an honest company on their own business and met with Satanists there, played dark magicians, using cunning and some devices. Unexpectedly, they met a friend who turned out to be the most natural demon.

After that, at the behest of the aforementioned demon, our three friends went to another world, where they had to find a whole bunch of troubles, because the surrounding lands were unknown, the neighbors - those still comrades - dirty and cunning, and not only people around but not quite human yet. And by the way, it is not known which of them is more dangerous.

My friends, of course, had some pyrotechnics in stock, though not enough of them, and some other force began to awaken, and most likely dark. The source is unknown. It is necessary to somehow survive in this world, someone would only suggest how.

The second part of the adventure

This continuation of Vladimir Myasoedov's "Sparks of True Magic" tells about three friends: Victor, Artem, Yaroslav. They are already settling in a little in another world, making alchemical experiments, they really have a very serious potential - they have a house, and there you can relax and practice. The only drawback is that they don't know anything about the art of magic. But nothing - learn. However, they will not be allowed to rest for a long time and set up various experiments.

Power is such a thing, it can be easily lost. In addition, a patron is needed, and it must be chosen correctly. Plus, try to be a firefighter, and the church approved the archdemon summoning ceremony, how to miss this? Well, absolutely impossible. In addition, when friends got into this world, they did just a bunch of things. First met the orcs. Then they made friends with their shaman. Then they quarreled with their god, after that they found an elf, hunted evil spirits, met a werewolf, unfriendly, who bit one of their friends, and they had to look for a way to stop the transformation. The village was found and captured. True, they were almost killed in the village.

I had to buy medallions from the Inquisition, which, in fact, are the license of dark magicians. The house also adds to the hassle, because it is a mansion. None of my friends know how to cook, clean up - thank you. Yes, and it would not hurt to watch, but who will undertake to deal with all these matters? So you need to find workers.

Meanwhile, a whole bunch of different problems fall on the city. Who to rake? The answer is clear. There are also predictors who see the future, wake up almost every night from terrible nightmares. Rumors are spreading throughout the city. They say that the war is just around the corner.

The third part of misadventures

This is a continuation of the work "Sparks of True Magic", which tells how three friends got into another world, became dark magicians. However, only one of them remained, because he had lost his friends. And he got into the penal legion -the place is not very friendly. Here he will have to try very hard to survive, it is difficult and dangerous to escape from there. And it turned out that friends met a rainbow mermaid on their heads, who took revenge on all the magicians in the city for her brother.

In general, the three friends unwittingly became victims of her revenge. Victor and Artem didn't get very hard, but Yaroslav lost his sight. And friends decided to look for a place where to find treatment for him. They searched and searched and found a temple, and it was neglected and belonged to the Sea Goddess. She came and decided to give the magicians tasks, if they can complete them, then she will give them her protection.

And another friend of the archdemon made "horns" with his mistress. Even the fact that the mistress was potential, and there were 6 of them, the alignment has not changed. Actually, this was one of the reasons for the appointment of Victor, a priest of the sea goddess, an alchemist and a blood magician, in the penal legion, where the dregs of society, bandits and murderers are found. And the Sea Goddess seems to be subtly mocking not only her priests. Why is she doing this? Just like that or for some purpose?
