In it the same matter used as magic "mana" is also an extremely valuable source of energy. However, I do not recommend the series because although I have read this series and most of his Xanth stuff, he's very limited in his description of the capacity of magic. He limits it too much; for instance: in xanth everyone has one (1) magical ability. In the Apprentice Adept books, an adept could work magic through one means- in Style's case it was through music.
