Magic
For centuries and millenia, scholars and laymen alike have been trying to find the cradle of magic, to explore its past and understand its progress. But the question is: where to look? How to describe it, even? It is the most self-contradictory force known to mankind. It can kill, but it can also heal - it can create, but it can also destroy.
What, I ask, does such a force look like? Where may we encounter this invisible but, oh, so palpable power? Magic is just this: magic. Magic is what it is, one might say. The magnificient, the mightiest, and the most marvelous gift of the gods. A most divine boon that all weavers and casters should call themselves lucky to have received. A sacred energy that only a select few are able to wield.
