So I received my new spellbooks yesterday and they look awesome! Thank you so much Alfiya!

The one book that had the skewing issue was because the pages were glued to the plastic spine in a VERY crooked manner, so even filling the book up with cards it is still completely crooked.

I attempted to fix it myself by pulling out the ream of pages and re-gluing it to the plastic spine straight, but I ended up completely ruining the book, which is fine because I got the replacements.

Not only did Alfiya send me new spell books but she offered to send a Mage Wars T-shirt to my son, who happens to love the game now we are both hopelessly infatuated with this game now.

How awesome is that!?

BTW, I usually hang out over at BGG but it looks like there’s a lot going on over here. I’m gonna have to spend more time here!

I posted this originally on BGG, but figured I should have posted it here

The plastic on both books are really wrinkled and warped and one of the books is really bent so that the back and front cover are really skewed and don’t line up.

I know it’s just cosmetic but I’m really anal about stuff like this and it bothers me so much that I don’t even want to use the books.

I checked online and I don't see that they have any spell books from the core set for sale, only the ones with the fancy graphics and I don’t much care for those.

Has anyone else had these issues? Does anyone know if the original core set spell books are available for purchase?
