Lord Jagged I was have a discussion with someone that I know from school and this topic cropped up. We were wondering what the source of apparent magic was. Does it come from within a person, from the earth, God or what? What's your opinion on this? o different tyes of magic come from different sources?
LOL it's kind of funny that I keep on responding to you. But you're everywhere and always have something interesting to discuss.
So magic. Or if you really want to be correct it is spelled magik (or magick sometimes). Otherwise, if you just spell it magic, you are just talking about magic acts, slight of hand stuff.
Magik is simply a tool. And like any tool it can be used for good or bad. You have a knife, you can stab someone, or you can use it to prepare that same person a nice meal.
It is sad really that humans couldn't be trusted with such a tool though...
You know how you hear about so much magik, but it is usually in the past, way way in the past. Well that is because it was. At least for humans. You can still see it today, but humans, for the most part have been cut-off from it. When they did have access to it they proved that they could not be trusted with it. They caused more damage with it than most things would care to put up with, so it was taken away.
If you are wondering how much damage humans could have caused with magik, just take a look at what humans have done with one of the lesser tools...science. Bombs, guns, wars. I don't think I have to go into details.
The funny thing is though...if other things are sufficiently pissed off enough with how humans are using science, it could be taken away from them just as magik was. But unlike magik, they'd be even more screwed over afterwards. I mean, look how much people depend on all of the technology they have. And how they have so little knowledge of how it actually works ...they'd never be ablet to recreate it!!

I was just looking around for something else to respond to when I realized I had just barely scratched the surface on the subject of magik!!!
Going back to science and magik.... There is always more than one way to arrive at a destination, or to achieve something. Two completely different tools can be used to create to same thing in the end. For instance, using a spoon, or a knife to carve an ice sculpture. One would probably be easier to use than the other, but you can still use either one if you wanted to.
On the other hand, you could to take those same two tools, the knife and the spoon, and use them to eat ice cream. And if you were careful with the knife, you could probably end up eating the ice cream without a cut, just as you would with a spoon, though the spoon would probably be easier.
So it is with magik and science. Sometimes it is better to go with magik, others it is better to go with science.
As far as the differences between them go...science is like using a microscope....whereas magik is like using a telescope. Science looks at things up close, while magik looks at the "bigger picture".
