Concerning AM: Whether you edit it is up to you. The AM is awesome either way.
Concerning the Book of Morcia: While it could be possible that Vladek was unable to completely decipher the book, which is why he is only seen using magical objects. However, this would not explain why everyone else in Knight's Kingdom is only seen using magical artifacts. Granted, we haven't seen too many people besides Vladek use magic in Knight's Kingdom. King Matthias was able to spy on Vladek's invading armies by reading from a book (possibly The Book of Morcia, though I'm not completely sure) while using a crystal ball. King Jayko used the Heart of the Shield of Ages (THotSoA) to deflect Vladek's magic lightning and to create forcefiels. I think he also used it to seal Vladek into a crystal ball, though comic was slightly vague on the details of that one. The Guardian who guarded THotSoA also used a magic spear, I think. I'm not agains the idea that Vladek simply hasn't figured out all the secrets of the Book of Morcia, but it wouln't explain why all other uses of magic are also artifact based. The "new magics" the Grey Wizard explored in Ankoria could be magic that isn't limited to artifacts, which would explain the Morcian trend of artifact magic. Of course, just because something is Knight's Kingdom canon doesn't mean it has to be KotOS canon, but I personally think that it should be, if only becuase we have already made so much of Knight's Kingdom KotOS canon already. Plus it'd be cool. :P
Speaking of The Heart of the Shield of Ages, are we planning on including it in KotoS? Thingguy included the Guardian in SA, heavily implying the existance of THotSoA. I'm not sure where it would fit in the storyline if we did include it, though. Nonetheless, see the above reason for its inclusion (It'd be cool). :P
Thanks for reposting your book of Morcia backstory. :D
Firstly, I would like to point out that the Book would be really really hard to decipher, so everyone would find it very very difficult to understand just some of it, not just Vladek. Maybe the artefact part is the easiest part or the first part or both. That's why probably almost everyone that got a chance to read the book didn't have enough time to get further, gave up too soon, because they were making very slow progress or just couldn't decipher anything else. The rest of the Morcian Magicians would continue doing such magic as tradition and as the only magic they learnt from the ones who only learnt this magic from the book.
Was the Guardian part of Knight's Kingdom? I didn't know that. However, I don't think everything can be canon considering the fact that we wouldn't have Jayko for a King, would we? And can you explain what the Heart of the Shield of Ages does?
