I write this in the hope that my son, Telbaril, someday understands why I did what I did. Learning proper magic is something they teach you here at the guild, but it is not the only way. There is so much knowledge that is traditionally forbidden by the decrees of those who fear true power and those who wield it. If you are reading this, Telbaril, know that I found one such place long ago. Know that it is not far from the city in which you now sit within a tiny cave by the docks. It is called the Crow's Wood. And son, if you decide to follow me, bring all of your cunning with you.
