The books feature different characters, but each explores the same system of magic in successively more detail.[3][4] It may be an early example of hard fantasy.[5] Plot summaryThe book focuses on the adventures of its main character and hero Alodar in the fictional land of Procolon. Alodar's self-imposed quest for much of the book is to distinguish himself sufficiently to wed Queen Vendora. The book is divided into six parts, the first five of which correspond to the five disciplines of magic learned by Alodar in that portion of the narrative. The final part is entitled "The Archimage" and corresponds to Alodar's mastery of all other forms of magic. In the first three parts, Alodar learns enough of a particular type of magic to make a notable achievement, but the antagonist of that part usurps Alodar's credit and becomes a recognized suitor to the queen. Alodar is then left with an artifact of some type that allows him to begin learning a new discipline of magic. The first part also introduces {{Proper name|Aeriel}}, a female character important in the second half of the book. The fourth part does not feature an artifact; instead, Alodar discovers an ancient wizard placed in suspended animation, who reveals the basics of his craft to Alodar at the start of the fifth part. The fifth part of the book reveals that Alodar's journey was planned by the ancient wizards, who predicted the now-imminent demonic invasion. In the sixth and final part, Alodar uses his knowledge of all five magical disciplines in combination to defeat the leader of the demon army. However, Alodar spurns both marriage to the queen and an offer by his previous antagonists to support a coup placing Alodar on the throne; instead, he chooses to marry {{Proper name|Aeriel}} and continue his apprenticeship. Characters
Disciplines of MagicA primary focus of the plot is upon the five magics of the title: Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, Magic, Sorcery, and Wizardry. In the system devised for the trilogy, each discipline allows the user to perform magical actions within a particular set of rules. These rules are specified after the table of contents and are also stated within the narrative. In popular cultureThe song "Five Magics" by Megadeth was inspired by this book, although the five magics listed in the song's lyrics differ from those in the book. The five magics in the song are listed as Alchemy, Sorcery, Wizardry, Thermatology, and Electricity.[1] Author Patrick Rothfuss spoke during an author's panel at the Phoenix Comicon in 2014 and credited Master of the Five Magics as influential in the writing of his Kingkiller Chronicle (The Name of the Wind (2007), The Wise Man's Fear (2011), The Slow Regard of Silent Things (2014), and the unpublished Doors of Stone).[6] Richard Garfield revealed in an interview that the five color model of The Gathering was inspired by Master of The Five Magics.[7]References1. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.blackgate.com/2011/01/09/80s-fantasy-and-master-of-the-five-magics/ | publisher=Black Gate | title=80s Fantasy and Master of the Five Magics}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Master Of The Five Magics}}2. ^{{cite web |author=Jared |date=May 6, 2009 | title=Underground Reading: Master of the Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy | url=http://www.pornokitsch.com/2009/05/underground-reading-master-of-the-five-magics-by-lyndon-hardy.html |publisher=Pornokitsch |access-date=February 12, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/off-the-shelf-/magic-books-harry-potter_b_5696165.html | title=These Magical Worlds Are Even Better Than 'Harry Potter' | website=The Huffington Post}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/07/text-me-that-hex-please-kthxbai | title=Text me that hex, please?
