		<description>After receiving your comment I made a point of rereading the passages in question and asked another experienced practitioner (who is also a published writer) for their views.

While I stand by my opinion of the book as published, it has been suggested that your perspective was not fully communicated in the text. Perhaps you might care to take the opportunity to explain this aspect of your work more fully, especially in regard to the quotations above?

		<description>Ian,

Thank you for the review. Your comments regarding approximately 97.5% of the book are what I’d expect for a first time author like myself, and it was well done. Thank you for the feedback. It’s the kind of thing a first time author needs to improve their art. 

I do think we need to address the subject of People Sigil Magic, the remaining 2.5% that gave you cause for concern. To get right to the point, I think you misunderstood the material and the issues it tried to address. This in turn led you to misrepresent it in your review, and in turn do an injustice to the remainder of the book and its author. 

Since I’ve spent a fair amount of time getting reality checks from my editors, as well as the friends and family who have read the book and/or been impacted by my choices as a magician and the reasons for those choices (for the record, their feedback has been very different than yours), I feel that I’m not out of line to ask you to consider the possibility that your virulent reaction to People Sigil Magic is a result of something you refuse to see in yourself and in turn projected outwards. 

Due to the unfounded accusations presented in your review, I am compelled to point out that your review put a lot of words in my mouth that are not in the book. They are your words, and I give responsibility for them back to you, where they rightfully belong. 

You’ve done your job as a reviewer and, where the job is done in a professional and competent manner, I respect it. However, my morality, and any final judgment on it, is between me and my Creator, should I ever meet the cagey son of a bitch.
