Every so often, I'm reminded of just why I'm really not that fond of magic at all. Is it part of the process? Does everyone who practices it regularly really get so damn stupid that they can't even stop and think for a second of what the widespread effects will be? Or, hell, maybe it's just overconfidence. What could possibly go wrong

I think people with power tend to be confident in their abilities, puppy. That's not a bad thing, but it can lead to ambitious ideas and big mistakes from time to time. And sometimes we just let our temper get the better of us and do things we shouldn't.

[misses_boring]

...Puppy?

It's a bad thing when they don't have the actual ability to back up the confidence. And when the consequences of their decision to screw around with things they can't actually control spill over onto other people.

At my age, boyo, you're allowed to call people younger than you whatever you damn well please.

Oh, I'm not defending them - us, as I can certainly admit to belonging in that group - just saying what I think happens. I think you have a far better view on things than most with that sort of power; everything has a price, and it's important to be careful what innocents have to pay for that power.

Too bad almost no one looks at the price. Just at the prize.

Amen.

Magic.. not really something I care to experiance.. Last time that brat Zixx stopped by I go turned into some sort of monster. Before that? A rat.

...Going to go on a limb here and say there's something going on?

[misses_boring]

Safe to say. Some sort of compulsion.

Not the worst thing that could happen, but pretty damn inconvenient.

[littleoldforlad]

I could guess.. Telling the Truth? Not that hard. Don't lie that much myself in my occupation..

Judging on what Brainy's said, looks like this happens alot.

[misses_boring]

Lucky you.

Hell, not lying doesn't mean not keeping secrets. And half the people here seem to be spilling their deepest and darkest.

Econtra go to hell since I got booted back to Haddyn, Sam? That's a damn shame.

[misses_boring]

Pretty sure it already started there. It's just shifting inside its circle, that's all.

[melakafray13]

Ah, that old song and dance. I'd say you get used to the spun-ness...but you really don't.

I turned into a cat once. Not my finest moment.

Harth didn't give you any trouble, did he?

I'm about as used to weird as I'm going to get. This isn't that out of the ordinary, considering.

Haven't heard anything. The obvious aside, it's been strangely quiet.
