conversations.value: So You Want to Be a Wizard: Nita Callahan, taking refuge in the library from bullies, checks out a book found in the children\'s section with the provocative title So You Want To Be a Wizard.\nOn the way home, the bullies corner her, beat her up, and take a space pen given to her by her uncle.\nBefore Nita goes to sleep, she takes the Wizard\'s Oath.\nThe next morning she looks at her manual and sees her name in the wizards list.\nShe goes to a quiet place to work a pen retrieval spell, and meets Christopher "Kit" Rodriguez, also a new wizard.\nKit is making a spell intended to surround him with an aura of fearlessness.\nCombining their intentions, they create a new spell, which presents a vision of an alternate Manhattan: polluted, lightless, and frightening.\nA terrible being composed of pure desire reaches up to consume them, and to escape, they open their minds to the universe - which ends up bringing an intelligent white hole from space.\nTranslated into English and simplified, the white hole\'s name is "Fred".\nThe next day at school Fred and Nita attempt to retrieve Nita\'s pen from her bullies, but Fred miscalculates the gravity required to lift the pen from the bullies\' possession, and instead accidentally swallows it.\nThis makes Fred hiccup objects, including a television, a blue Mercedes, and a LearJet.\nAfter school, they seek help from the local Advisory Wizards.\nFred\'s problem is fixed, but Nita\'s pen is not recovered.\nIn order to retrieve it, they must link Fred to a worldgate in Grand Central Station and pull the pen out of Fred.\nFred also has some alarming news: a crucial book has gone missing.\nCalled the Naming of Lights, it is a compendium of information that describes the true nature of everything that has or will exist.\nIt is also known as The Book of Night with Moon because it can only be read by moonlight.\nIts shadow, The Book Which is Not Named, contains descriptions that are twisted out of their true patterns.\nIf the Lone Power - the being of desire and hate sensed by Nita and Kit - were to read the shadow Book without the bright Book being read, the cosmos would be irreparably skewed.\nIn Grand Central, Nita and Kit find that the worldgate has been knocked out of place and is hovering above the station.\nNita invokes the air to solidify into a walkway between the roof of the Pan Am Building and the gate, but before Nita can retrieve her pen, a pack of werewolf-analogues attack, causing Nita, Kit, and Fred to plunge through the worldgate.\nOn the other side, Nita\'s pen is lying on the floor of a building in an alternate New York City.\nThe landscape is cold, dark and lifeless, populated by predators.\nMany resemble automobiles, but there are also glowing-eyed dun mice, batlike skinwings, and dragonlike fireworms.\nThis world belongs to the Lone Power, a thing far worse than any devil and more ancient than the earth.\nNita, Kit, and Fred learn that the two Books are here, and that to get home they will have to read from the bright Book.\nTo find the bright Book, they decide to steal the dark Book from the Lone Power, because they need the Bright Book\'s power to find the worldgate, which has been hidden in the darkness that the Lone Power has created.\nOn their way to the Lone Power\'s office, Kit finds a racing car, a Lotus Esprit, beside its prey, a "dead" sedan, injured by a piece of metal lodged in its axle.\nKit cuts this piece away, and the Lotus roars off, free.\nInside the building, Nita, Kit, and Fred eavesdrop on the Lone Power\'s phone call to the Archangel Michael.\nMichael suspects his brother stole the bright Book, while the Lone Power suspects him of sending Nita and Kit to steal it back.\nNita and Kit have not previously considered this, but it begins to make sense.\nNita steals the dark Book, and uses it to locate the bright Book in the tunnels under City Hall.\nAided by the Lotus Esprit, who has returned to show its gratitude, they proceed to the tunnels, where they discover the Book is guarded by the Eldest of the fireworms.\nThe Eldest - a dragon-like fire-breathing lizard - lies on a vast hoard of stolen gold, gems, silver plate, plastic toys, coins, and bones.\nThe wizards bargain with the Eldest, giving it the dark Book in exchange for the bright Book, in addition to securing the hoard with a magical barrier.\nThe enraged Lone Power comes after them on the back of an eight-legged, skull-faced beast.\nThey flee through the worldgate, and re-enter their homeworld with the Lone Power on their heels.\nTo stop the Lone Power from destroying their Universe, Kit and Nita quickly enlist a wall of magically animated trees and statues around a refuge in Central Park, and begin to read from the bright Book by moonlight, to undo the changes that the Lone Power has been making during the pursuit.\nThe Lone Power then puts out the Sun, extinguishing the moonlight that is necessary to read from the Book.\nFred sacrifices himself by "blowing his quanta", releasing all his mass as energy in the form of visible light, which, reflected by the moon, becomes moonlight by which the Wizards can continue reading.\nAs Kit and Nita recite the Lone Power\'s true name, written in the bright Book, Nita makes a slight modification to the text (the symbol ⎋), giving the Lone Power the option to become a positive rather than a negative energy.\nRenamed and vanquished, the Lone Power withdraws.\nNita and Kit go home, their Ordeal complete.
