Magium Walkthrough Book 2 - Chapter 1

Welcome back to Magium!

Here we are, Book 2! 

Personal advice, save your AJ games and use it when you need to keep going back for an achievement. But there will be achievements that requires you to have a certain choice in Book 1 so you will need to replay Book 1 a few times. Again, my advice, get the choice required, choose the Average Joe choices so you get it faster. But, if you don't mind exploring other options while you're at it, then by all means... ;) 

Since we can or cannot save Rose in the book 1 finale, all specific choices where she is alive will be marked R.
If she is gone and the revenant is in her body, the choice will be marked N.
This will carry on to the next books.
