"Must rush! Do whatever you like!!"
(I'm only paraphrasing slightly...) So I dug this out and finished it.
I really believe there really isn't any magic, folks. A Universe of this size and incredible complexity genuinely operates on automatic with no sort of mumbo-jumbo at all—which is real magic.
A spell to prove there is no magic
The eye of the newt, a lens of half a billion years
making; drop it in your stew, and I
shall never bow to you, the charlatans
who do not know. So...
this graveyard dirt collected by what light
and on what date, and in whose reference frame? The stars
behind that ball of rock are many cold light-years
away and this dirt here is just the same
as it would be by day, or be it colder.
Of course there are some quite cool microbes here
but I see you've boiled them. So much
for bacteriology, and for geometry
while your circle here with pentangle inscribed
is topologically complex, for all of that
I had one on my folder back in school--
nobody turned into anything.
