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.
