You, as a great wizard and an adventurer or explorer, know a great many spells. But your talents are bent towards your own ends, as are the studies in the great academies, and the roiling forces dreamt up by demons, gods, and dragons.
There are some magics you may not know. Ones that arose from folk tradition and have little use in great battles or exploration.
