Hell yeah, letâs talk about magic.
Like elementary kids learning silly (or inappropriate) charms from each other on the bus, the same way we learned our first swear words. Clapping games across the bus aisle, but with spells instead of rhymes.
Worrying that your friend is getting into dark magic, but not knowing how to talk to them about it. Intervention programs for kids abusing hexes and runes, because magic has given them control over something for once in their life, and theyâre starting to make some dangerous choices.
Psychic teachers knowing when youâre cheating. Knowing when youâre having trouble with homework. Or at home. Knowing when you need tutoring or an AP course because youâre just not being challenged or a different teaching method because you canât process what youâre learning in class no matter how hard you try, and the teacher tells you itâs okay, they know. They know.
Magic graffiti. Graffiti in wild places, and graffiti that vanishes when certain people roll by like the police. Or graffiti that only appears when the police walk by to insult them. Murals. Swirling, living murals on the sides of buildings. Murals thatâif you listen closelyâcan be heard, not just seen.
In the evenings, kids hiding out in someoneâs backyard or an alley passing around a joint and casting minor illusions to watch while high.
Chalk artists making works that are so realistic, they come to life off of the sidewalk.
One man bands in the park, with instruments floating around playing themselves.
Punk concerts in empty lots with amped out music and lights, but noise-cancelling spells and illusion hide them in plain sight from anyone outside of the lot.
Mediums predicting people in need, and making sure to be there at just the right moment to lend them a helping hand. âYou seem upset, do you need to talk?â âOh, youâre a dollar short? No, donât put the milk back; Iâll cover you.â âI think your hair looks perfect today.â âYou really ought to try taking your resume to this store. Trust me.â
Necromancers in forensics speaking with the dead to solve homicides and cold cases. Living lie detectors as beat cops and detectives and DEA agents.
Strangely cheap five star food diners that bake actual love into their apple pie, and they always know your dietary restrictions without being told.
Service golems in various sizes and shapes, making sure their magic users arenât crowded, get medical attention, go where they need to, etc.They donât get distracted, they can be hollow to hold things like medications, and in rare instances⌠they seem to develop loving attachment to their users despite not being alive.
Little old landladies who dabble in witchcraft brewing homeopathic remedies for people in their apartment complex.
Street magic is an amazing concept.
