Fundamentally magical

"Magic is like all other things in this world or any other. It is a force, a soul, a heart. Magic has and gives purpose - Magic is the heart of life, it is the source of will and of want."
from Debutatio et Cogitationes.

Apprentice: "Master how do we shape the world?"
Master: "We do not. The world shapes us, it shapes the things we see and feel, it shapes the things that are and that might be, and by doing so, the world is as we want it to be."
Apprentice:"But how does that work?"
Master: "It is Magic that is at the beginning and the end. It is everywhere and every within. There can be nothing if it is not within Magic.
