Fantasy Earth: The Book of Magic is a 148-page perfect-bound book designed by Michael Zody, with art by Andy Jones. [1] The book describes the simple magic system used in the Fantasy Earth role-playing game. [2] It also details several hundred spells. [3]

In the April 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue #228), Rick Swan wondered why any publisher would create a new generic fantasy role-playing game, given the preponderance of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons , but then admitted that "Michael Zody forged ahead anyway, with surprisingly credible results." Swan concluded, "I don’t imagine many folks will be abandoning their AD&D Player's Handbook for Fantasy Earth. But if you’re a supporter of the small press, or if you’re looking for a set of ready-made rules to graft onto a homemade setting, you could do worse than this." [2]
