All of creation stems from Quintessential energy it's just bound up into what we call Patterns. It's basically the energy of magic itself. See it? Neat, huh? What you're seeing in my hand is what we call Quintessence. Think about that power and open them again. Take a deep breath and close your eyes for a second. So just remember how we went through that rock like it was mist. I know you're skeptical, but not a goddamn bit of this will work if you don't believe. I want you to think about the power behind that feeling. You know that sort of vibration that you can just feel in your skull, the one that told you something was wrong with that guy back at the shop and weirded you out when we stepped through the wall? Focus on that feeling. Hang on - damned elixirs are always in the wrong pocket. Just to help push you over the edge, I'm gonna show you what's really up. All right, you've seen a couple of neat tricks with your own eyes.
I know how you feel because I know what I'm talking about. The sudden realization that exploded into your mind will never go away now. Takes some getting used to, but you'd best accept it, because you can't step back through that door. You've just taken a step into a larger world. Once you believe, you'll see it all the time. It's there, and once you've seen it a few times, you'll believe. Just because it's not visible doesn't mean it's not powerful. I bet you felt something when I made that sigil with the amulet too - hairs on the back of your neck, a sudden feeling like having a word on the tip of your tongue, right? That's magic, too. Don't believe me? You just saw a little magic when we stepped through that wall. We Awaken to the magic that's been hiding in plain sight. We open our eyes to a world where we can make our own rules and choose for 2 Some people just don't fit the mold of "normal," as you've so recently learned. They want a safe world where they don't have to face the perils of demons, dragons, imagination and dreams. See, normal people don't want a magical world. Unlike the days of yore, though, it's quiet, it's subtle, and it's carefully hidden from the eyes of normal people. Everything from neo-Pagan rituals to kung fu fightin' to bleeding-edge weird science makes its mark on this world. Convenient way to avoid the idea that maybe your sudden recognition of magic is really a sudden awareness of the truth that's been hidden all of your life. You thought you were insane when you looked out tonight and saw what was really going on, right? That incessant pressure in your head had to be a tumor and you were just hallucinating - that's it. Everyone can get fast food and a boring job without worrying about crazy things like demons or magic spells. It's orderly and mundane and everything's explainable. The problem is, that's just the world people buy because it's safe. Everybody buys into it and if you don't, you're a crank, a psycho or a crystal-waver. You've worn blinders put on you by a hundred years of engineered history. The Magical World You've stumbled through your life with the belief that this is an orderly, rational world, that science can explain everything and that myths and fairy tales are for children. Gives me some time to bring you up to speed. They'll busy on the other side of the block. We can hide here a bit without worrying about those cops. So shut up and listen, or you'll have a very short life in the next few minutes, and not because of me. I'm not going to kill you or ensorcel you or eat your flesh or any of that crap. Go ahead and sit down a moment you'll need to absorb what I'm saying, and I need to catch my breath. ah, and those flatfoots on the other side will have no idea where we've gone. But we're giving that the lie right now as we step through this wall. Unicorns and dragons, magi? swords and ancient tomes are all just children's stories.
It's a convenient fiction, is magic - a quaint artifact of a history that never existed, a fairy tale. Prologue: Through A Darkened Mirror They say that magic is dead.
