Magic isn't real. Satan never shares his power with Men.
This is part of the midwit ritual game. In order to get a stack of people to implement evil you do have to convince the middle segment of them to do it reliably. So you invent magic, and spells, and invocations, and ritual societies to keep them all line.
The people at the top are far more rational than their footsoldiers would lead you to believe.

Think about what a magic spell is. You say something, something happens.
That's it.
And the words give a clue to that.
Spell
Incantation
Curse
All those deal with speech.
Spell a word.
Curse words.
So maybe magic doesn't resemble flowing pink embers that sparkle. But make no mistake, "magic" is real and it works. It works too well. Too many people hear a thing and act predictably, reliably.

Like I said, in any stack, you're going to have people in the middle.
> They know the magic words.
Then why do they have to also spend so much money? The Wizard of Oz isn't real, dude, it's just a guy behind a curtain. He knows nothing more than you do.
