Acta Parabiologica

A "periodical" section of the Wizard's Manual devoted to news, field observations and research on the wizardly flora and fauna of Earth. Like other similar journal areas of the Manual, the Acta is (or if you're being persnickety about the Latin, are) frequently updated with new research results and other material; much of this is speculative, rather than definitive like most other Manual content.
