The rest of the novel deals with the sourcerer's plan to have wizards rule the Discworld, and the efforts of a small group – including Rincewind the Wizard, Nijel the Destroyer and Conina the Hairdresser, daughter of Cohen the Barbarian – to thwart those plans. The first few pages of the novel deal with a sourcerer's father who cheats death by making a prophecy that Death must honour the alternative is to risk destroying the Discworld.
To prevent the creation of sourcerers, therefore, wizards are not allowed to marry or have children. Since sourcerers are born the eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son, they are wizards squared. As eight is a powerful magical number on Discworld, men born as the eighth son of an eighth son are commonly wizards. On the Discworld, sourcerers – wizards who are sources of magic, and thus immensely more powerful than normal wizards – were the main cause of the great mage wars that left areas of the disc uninhabitable. Even the acting is sub-par, but the worst is just the writing.Sourcery is a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, the fifth book in his Discworld series, published in 1988. Dont even think about "wokeness" when the base concept is just disgusting. It does neither add nor detract on how awful the show is. You may think about comments about race- and genderchanging of characters.
Every Terry Pratchett fan should save themself from exposure to this and stay as far away from it as possiple. It also is not funny, or humorous, or insightful, or sarcatic, or ironic, or satire. Nothing fits to the true work, as characters appearing later in the watch series are not only present at the start, but with their character arcs completed. Its like the creators only read the summaries, usually find at the back of the books, and mangled them into a story.
It is really sad to see what happened to this. Well, maybe Carrot's hair colour, but even his character gets a bad treatment of getting a changed background and impact. Nothing of this show is remotely true to the original work of Terry Pratchett.
