Greetings,

I was just searching Amazon.com for Shadowrun books and under FASA
they have

"Magic: A Manual of Mystic Secrets"

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1555602827/qid•5799254/sr=1-16/102-9523083-7463244

The above URL is probably word wrapped and will need to be cut 'n'
pasted.

There is no picture or description other than that the book is out of
print. I don't remember any Shadowrun book having this title. Is
this a placeholder title given to Amazon before one of the published
books was given it's real title? Or is this a mysterious sourcebook
that was never advertised? :)

:) No, this is a sourcebook for Earthdawn. Amazon probably just
labeled it wrong in their database...

Well, I didn't find it under Shadowrun. I found it under FASA. So
it's in their database correctly. But without any kind of
description, I wasn't sure.

Thanks. :)
