	Back at the University, Rincewind discovers the Librarian has hidden the Library books in the [[Tower of Art]]. The Librarian convinces him to confront the Sourcerer. Armed with only a half-brick in a sock, Rincewind confronts Coin. He is too powerless to fight, but he causes Coin to doubt his father's will. Coin tries to throw away his staff, causing a fight between the two in which they draw on all the magic they have brought into the world. Rincewind aids Coin, and the sourcerer succeeds, allowing [[Death]] to take Ipslore's soul from the staff.

Coin tries to throw away his staff, causing a fight between the two in which they draw on all the magic they have brought into the world. Rincewind aids Coin, and the sourcerer succeeds, allowing [[Death]] to take Ipslore's soul from the staff.

	The resulting magical explosion throws Rincewind and Coin into the [[Dungeon Dimensions]] and leaves a portal open to the Discworld, around which are clustered the monstrous "Things" who will soon be able to invade and consume the world. Rincewind distracts the Things so Coin can escape and restore the gods, to prevent the Apocralypse. The plan works, and Coin undoes all the damage he has done, but Rincewind is trapped as the portal closes, with the Luggage catching up just in time to leap ~~throw~~ and follow its master. When Conina and Nijel arrive looking for Rincewind, Coin makes them forget about him so that they can live in peace. Realising he is too powerful for the Disc, he then steps into a dimension of his own creation.

	The [[wizard's magic\|wizard]] [[Ipslore the Red]] was banished from the [[Unseen University]] for disobeying the [[Lore of Magic]] by falling in love and having children. This is forbidden because the eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son is a [[sourcerer]]: an exceptionally powerful wizard who is a "source of magic", and who caused great damage to the [[Discworld\|Disc]] in the [[Mage Wars]] of the past. Ipslore, blaming the death of his wife in childbirth on the University, plans to hand over his unusual [[octiron]] wizard's staff to his infant eighth son, whom he names [[Coin]]. When [[Death]] comes to collect Ipslore's soul, he escapes by placing his spirit into his staff as he hands it over. This allows him to evade passing, steer his son into doing his bidding and plot revenge against the University. But Death makes him place a loophole in his son's destiny to appease the laws of fate: there will be a chance to defeat Coin if he throws away his staff, a very unlikely course for a wizard.

	Eight years later, Coin strides into the University and kills the new Archchancellor, [[Virrid Wayzygoose]]. When the wizards see Coin's power, they welcome him and accept him as their new archchancellor. Meanwhile, [[Rincewind]], [[The Luggage]] and the [[Librarian]] flee the university. At the [[Mended Drum]], they meet [[Conina]], the daughter of [[Cohen the Barbarian]] who works as a thief. She has stolen the [[Archchancellor's Hat]] at its own request: is has become sentient after being worn by hundreds of the Disc's most powerful wizards. The hat warns them of the danger that Coin poses to the Disc, and instructs them to take to it [[Al Khali]] in [[Klatch]], where there is someone worthy of wearing it.

	Under Coin's leadership, the wizards take over [[Ankh-Morpork]] and begin planning to take over the Disc. Coin abolishes the rules, orders the library to be destroyed and sends them to attack other countries. Wars break out between wizards across the Disc. Rincewind, Conina and travel to Al Khali, which is ruled by [[Creosote]], the current [[Seriph]], and his treacherous vizier [[Abrim]]. Rincewind is thrown into a snake pit where he meets the barbarian wannabe hero [[Nijel the Destroyer]], Conina is taken to Creosote's [[wikipedia:harem\|harem]] and the Luggage, spurned by Conina, goes rampaging in the desert after getting drunk.
