I used to be fluffy

I would actually get mad and even sad whenever a fantasy spell I found on YouTube didn't work, since many in the comments said it did. But now that I think about it, they could have just been bots, or paid, or even just using self-suggestion or something like that

I'll admit that I still struggle with this concept in some ways sometimes, because I always ask "Why not?" I'm not talking about turning into something other than human or anything extreme like that. Mostly the limits of energy manipulation and such. There's so much that we don't know, so I hesitate to say some things are completely out of the question. Some things could be highly improbable rather than impossible, or we just don't know how to do them yet. Again, this obviously has its limits.

I think it's important to have an open mind, but I agree that we shouldn't get carried away and be consumed by fantasy. I'm sure more than one person has come up with a real spell that was based off of something they saw in fantasy. It just more than likely wouldn't have the same result for obvious reasons.

I love how an interest in fantasy magic turns into an interest in real magic though, especially when people can move beyond that disappointment that magic isn't what they see in movies and books.

It can be easy to come to the idea of "a fairy tale come true" and the fact you show personal growth is a marvelous trait to have. It shows progression and the will to learn. This website has a lot of great things about it with an amazing community that is kind and fair to help each other out. I am happy for you and each member of this website for being here.
