#WritersSpark What Is the Source of Magic?

 


Regarding the prompt, I love this beautiful exotic image—so many mysterious elements! The coiling “steam” covering and rising above the face, the glowing halo, the inscribed collar, the swirling cape, the blooming flowers, and the mysterious open chest…

While coloring it in my favorite coloring app “Happy Color”, I thought about the source and cost of magic. I’ve seen this evolve over the years, as authors move past the “hand-wavium” abilities of magic to serious consideration within their stories’ world-building of how the magic would *actually* work. And the consensus is that magic is some sort of energy causing change to mass in the material world—and that energy has to be generated *somehow* by *something*. Physics, y’all 😉

And so, with a loving heart, I offer you
Namaste
I’ve heard many translations. Here’s my favorite:
The light of the universe that shines within me recognizes
the light of the universe that shines within you.
