What did you think of magic after you learned occultist techniques?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That it's not real, which was also a disappointment.

Of course magic isn't real. Magic occupies the border between reality and unreality, and is the mechanism by which effects cross it. Take money, for example. Not real, it's just a social assignment of value. Magic is what makes money have real effects on the world.

Of course magic isn't real

It'd sure be a lot cooler if it were.
