"Are you saying that you are an Angel?"
"No, no ... no - no, not at all. Totally different - though a kinship we share. No, we are a parallel race to you mortals, save our life in your world is invisible to it, though you might see us from time to time in unusual circumstances. We are the Fey."
"A ghost?"
"No"
"A demon then?"
"No, but some of us can be troublemakers. Now getting back to wizards ... you see they can be very powerful because they work with the willing cooperation of those Fey who believe them to be worthy of their assistance in the first place."
He went on, "but you see magicians, on the other hand" he said, holding out his left hand, "never really seek to earn the affection of those they want something from - their tools are deceptive and are always seeking some sense of control. Illusion is key and reality of slim consequence, the magician has little care for anyone other than himself, and, is far more ill tempered too, you will find, than a true wizard. So what will it be? Which do you choose?"
