Why Magic - Outline

So you get the powers you wanted. You're "magical." What now? You've worked hard figuring out how to harness the power of the spiritual world. What do you do with that power?

You can put on tights and try to save the world; but that turns out to be much harder than it looks on television. I mean, really, where are the bad guys? How many times have you witnessed crimes really going down? Even in New York City you didn't once witness a crime. It's just not easy to save the world.

What if the power was limited? It would be even more bitter-sweet. You have "power," but it's not strong enough to cure the ones you love; nor is it strong enough to make what was wrong with your life right. These are thoughts you didn't have when you first started delving into the books. Now you're learning.

Not only are you powerless to save those you love, but you can't even affect the world around you without fear of being discovered. Why aren't there more "magicians" out there? It's for obvious reasons. Imagine being studied and prodded. Or at least that's what you're thinking would happen. You're not really willing to take the chance, are you? I thought not.

The picture is not all rosy, is it? But that's not going to stop me from telling it. I'm going to tell it from the first person perspective. Now, let's get started.
