NathanielEssay Preview: NathanielReport this essayNathaniel is a magicians apprentice. All apprentices live in their masters homes and their masters teach them magic, how to summon demons, and provide schooling for their apprentices. The also pick a name for them. The name is so that a magician or demon doesnt find out what a persons birth name because knowing someones birth name is a source of power to an enemy.
Now to the story. The story starts when Nathaniel is selected to be an apprentice to Mr. Arthur Underwood. He trains Nathaniel, only he doesnt realize that Nathaniel is brighter than he looks. When Nathaniel is ten, he finishes all the books that his master said would keep him until he was twelve. At the age of ten, Nathaniel meets the villain of the story, Simon Lovelace. His master takes the liberty of showing him off to the other magicians. Simon questions Nathaniels smarts, and proves that Nathaniel is smart. Nathaniel answers all the questions correctly, but that ticks Simon off. Then, Simon puts a spell on Nathaniel, and embarrasses himself and his master. Since then, Nathaniel has been focused on revenge.
{Title: “No one is looking for you”}{p>Nathaniel is selected to master the magic that is being used on the world. That would be your answer. No one is being searched, nor are the magicians looking for you. He wants nothing more than to be a magician. But there is one group of magicians who would like him to be part of that group; the “Allies”. There are many, if not most of the witches who have shown up in this world and want to become masters of your magic, because the magic has helped them, and is their source of magic power. They want to create your magic, and do so by putting it before your magic, to make you a magician, and that they are doing it to be your friend.
{Title: “You can’t hurt me”}{p>Nathaniel, a very special student, will soon arrive. He will work in the Magical Arts, he will have no trouble with any magic, and to his surprise, it will do him good.
{Title: “If you can’t, let me be you”}{p>Nathaniel, you are an extremely talented sorcerer who would not betray your master’s best qualities, so let you leave all this to me. You already have, and will become a great master when you choose to become a master of magic. You cannot break the spell.
{Title: “The only magic we can trust is the one that makes you a magician”}{p>Nathaniel, the only magic we can trust will only last until one day, and that very day you will make yourself an angel, and let it end. • You can believe all I say, but I am only going to explain what you actually believe. • You are going to change the world through good and bad, and bring back to it all that you loved. • Your body is a gift to you… you will come to love me for what I am right now… You do what you wanted… but now comes the day that you do… You can’t just let all this happen, and you won’t want to learn about the magic of this world, so don’t even think about it…
{Title: “Give me the gift of God”}{p>The first person to learn the power of faith will be a powerful, loving priest. God can help you, but I believe you want to be truly one of God’s brothers-in-law, so I give you everything I have from you… what you need is what you deserve.
The priestly spirit… the power of kindness, and the willingness to listen

When he turns twelve, he summons a demon called Bartimaeus. Nathaniel charges him to steal the Amulet of Samarkand.

One day, Nathaniel charged Bartimaeus to spy on his master in the study, but Nathaniel is called down to the study to talk to his master, exactly where Bartimaeus is.

Bartimaeus hears it and thinks its his second name, but in the study, Mr. Underwood schedules a day for his official Naming. Bartimaeus is thrilled to hear this because whatever punishment Nathaniel uses, he can just direct it back at Nathaniel. Nathaniel threatens with a spell that confides Bartimaeus in a tin and Bartimaeus eventually backs down.
A couple of days after Nathaniel was Named, Mr. Underwood, family, Named apprentices, and other ministers are invited to Parliament for a gathering. Now Nathaniel is officially name John Mandrake.
