Awesome!

Perfect for those annoying times when I don't have my books handy.

Magic is akin to the human soul, and also to the cataclysms of the deepest earth, and also to the stars. It is like the enigma which separates a dead rock from living coral. I mean, very plainly, that magic is akin to the questions we ask, not to the answers we possess. You cannot calculate or determine what magic will do. You cannot use magic to answer a problem. But you can use magic to ask for a solution.

Maybe I'm thinking of "Ought". This would be good to have for the emelan-verse.

	Yes I believe God exists. I believe he is 5'10", of unknown natural hair color (although I love him as a blonde), has different colored eyes, and is known to mortals as David Bowie.

This is an old thread, but I just have to comment again because this is wonderful when I don't have my books and need to write fic. ♥
