History of: Magic

I'm going to be explaining the history of magic!

There's only one magic in this world, but a LOT of ways to use it, and multiple ways to categorize it.

Natural magic, or Raw Magic, is found everywhere in the ecosystem. There's an abundance of it. It's like air!

Deep magic, or Tool Magic, is a form of raw magic. It's formed when a person pulls raw magic from the ecosystem, then changes and uses it like a type of tool. It can be anything from a way to add detail to storytelling, to pulling water through pipes. It's not a good or bad practice-- it all depends on what you're doing with the tool.

Screwing up can be awesome

I was leaving on vacation, packing up all my gear so I could enjoy all my down time making jewelry. It was all set, until I sat down in the cottage with my pliers and realized that I didn't bring my Tool Magic. It's a rubber coating to dip the pliers into so you don't mangle your wire. For someone with as many anxiety issues as I have, this was huge. And of course there wasn't a single place nearby that carries a specialty item like that. Many hours of searching the internets later, I discovered that electricians use a product very similar to Tool Magic to dip the handles of their tools. Its called PlastiDip or Grip-Dip. You can buy it at hardware stores! It comes in a big can! 14 oz costs the same as 2 oz of Tool Magic! I know other chainmaillers have been using this stuff for years, but for me its a breakthrough, and so far, it's seems to work just as well. I'm so happy I was forgetful!
