@wheatbeer:
I hope it was clear that my second comment was a joke :lol:
From a narrative perspective, the fact that magical elements (in the broadest, most inclusive sense) go largely unexplained provides a more satisfying read. To explain magic makes it seem a hell of a lot less magical.
Oh… no, it was not. But I see that now. :roll:
I am glad you already had a nice appreciation of it though. Some people here are serious so I had to be sure.
