The Battle of Wizards

The Chief of the Mineralogy Service reported to the Galactic Council that the planet Deltoid contains an unlimited supply of a fuel catalyst crystal in its natural state. However, the native population has refused to allow mining rights. Due to the highly explosive nature of the crystal, taking the planet by force is not an option.

The issue is finally resolved in a battle of magic between the deadly magic of Deltoid’s local wizard, Taubo, versus the magic of the science wizard, Angus McBane, who uses the mystifying ruse of robotry.
