The March offering from Cosmic Roots &nEldritch Stories is “Do Unto Others” by Corrie Haldane. Wilfred the Wretched is an incompetent wizard, unable to make his spells work. He has a rivalry with Fabian the (self-proclaimed) Fabulous, whose egotism is a thorn in his side. To spite Fabian, he enters a contest to bring back to life a famous wizard, but he only gets Granny Rose, who is no use at all. But Wilfred slowly learns there is a way for him to achieve wizardhood. This is a fun, lighthearted story about the tribulations of an incompetent wizard, and is a charming read
