	Ancient Magic presents ten extinct magical traditions, and ways to discover their mystic secrets and integrate them into Hermetic magic. The traditions vary in detail, from the highly-detailed [[Hyperborean Magic]] system that is given in enough detail to create Hyperborian priest-wizards, to [[Defixio Magic]], of which only clues and relics remain.

	The traditions are unrelated and it is unlikely that any given saga will use much of the contents of this book. But that is not its intent. The book offers a rich selection of exotic locales, ancient magical secrets, and the promise fo great power and adventure - which is something just about any saga could use an infusion of.
