Spellmaster, Wizard, Sorceress and Magician

What will you do if you can cast a spell, using magic or manipulating time? The fantasy fictions or movies usually introduce magic in numerous styles. Some could use the White magic to heal, cure or restore conditions for their allies while some may cast the destructive magic to exterminate their enemies.  You may be interested in illusion magic to hypnotize or mesmerize your rivals. Perhaps the death magic is suitable when you want to bring your friends back from realm of the death and finally hex spells can assist you to curse your opponents.

Magic could exist in the ancient and the medieval era, where witches were hunted down and burning alive at the stakes.  Some religions may believe that magic is evil, but various legends and fairy tales emphasized that magic is not an absolutely evil at all. It depends on the casters’ purposes. The great wizard Merlin used his spells for his king named “Arthur” while the wizard Gandalf from the novel “the lord of the rings” is also casting his spells to fight against armies of the dark lord Sauron.

If magic were existed in this era, how the world would be? Our life could be more comfortable when we could teleport from place to place. We don’t have to walk since we can float and fly. We will learn magic in the school instead of regular subjects.  We can also live forever when we drink the elixir to sustain our life. It seems that if it could be real, the world would be more comfortable than nowadays.

However, if criminals could also cast the magic, the world may be in chaos. The situation could be harder than before if those criminals could become transparent and hide away from polices. Besides, if there was anyone who mastered all of spells and wanted to dominate the world, that man can bring the doomsday to mankind with ease, like Lord Voldermort in Harry Potter series.  As for me, I believe that magic is real and we can practice them. When we have a faith in something, we could do it. I will use my spells to help other people and fight against the injustice. What about you? Are you interested in spell casting?

  1. You know what, there is a magician(or wizard) job in the online game I have played recently called "Dragonica" and I actually chose to be it because I think it is cool to be able to use spells.

    I think if magic were exist, the world would still be the same. I remembered a conversation in Harry Potter when a Maggle (human who has no ability to use magic) asked a Wizard that "But you should be able to overcome Lord Voldermort because you can cast a spell !!? and the Wizard said "I think you forget that the opponent can also use magic" ...
    So if everyone can use magic then the bad guys might be as good as using magic as the good guys. If there still were bad people, with or without magic, nothing would change.

    I think I would be enjoy using magic only when others could not because that would make me special. But if everyone could have the same ability as I do, using magic would not be so interesting since it would be a normal phenomenon. Just like everybody,nowadays, can drive or fix things.

  2. How would it be like if people today could cast spells? Read Harry Potter. Just kidding.

    I used to think that spell casting is cool but lately I have changed my mind. It might be good to cast spells for healing or to save someone from danger but what for? You will die anyway and is there really a good reason to change your fate.
    In the recent years I have went through many troublesome times of considering whether it would be good to find spells or magic potions that could heal my loved ones who were severely ill or have died. I came to the conclusion that nothing would be better even if they could survive and live on. The sad moments would come anyway. Even the great wizards in history (in the books, games, movies)die. None of them could actually avoid their fate.
    Notice another thing, that the greater the wizard the worse condition they get in to and die at the end. So I don't see why I would need to have all these powers. Just being who you are is magical enough.
