Hi all! I’m taking a September break from Principles of Magic. I will continue updating until August 30, and resume updating on October 4. Thanks for understanding!

TRANSCRIPT

The girls spill out of the classroom, feeling intensely awkward and kind of scared. Pepper steers Charlie and Avery around a corner, toward an alcove. She looks around furtively for a moment.

Pepper: It doesn’t work.

She looks almost manic.

Avery: What doesn’t work?

Pepper: The Principles of Magic program! It doesn’t work!

Charlie: What do you mean?

Pepper: Miss Ghelhel WENT to this school, but she still has her magic.

She looks at her hands.

Pepper: She just did MAGIC in there!

Shocking, the school where they teach to remove magic doesn’t even remove magic, I didn’t see it as removing, I thought they just taught how to control not using it.

Yeah, I think I could have been a lot clearer about that earlier on. That’s what happens when you publish as you go, tho!

  They sell it as “you won’t have magic anymore” but in reality is IS just learning to control it, because they don’t actually know how to get rid of it. I hope this makes sense!

Something tells me there’s an allegory there. A program meant to “fix” something that doesn’t need fixing, and said program doesn’t work anyway…
