Publisher's Summary

Nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, this short story introduces the Warlock, who discovers to his horror that the world's mana, the fuel that makes magic work, is rapidly dwindling. The news spells doom for magic-based society. Unfortunately, no secret that powerful can stay hidden for long.

Not My Cup of Tea

I found this a little hard to follow and fairly uninteresting considering it's such a short story. I don't doubt that someone else might find it more to their liking, but it just wasn't for me.
