Hello, Max, and welcome back to our ponderous place for what I consider a very interesting and enlightening post! Please note it has taken me just a bit longer than usual to return here and offer my report on the doings of the magical world as well as what I've discovered by way of the Sorceress Mary Morgan's journals, but I have to admit I deliberated for quite some time over how much I should pass on here today. Our subject matter? Why, magic, of course, but spells in particular!
First, however, a quick hello and a gracious thank you to our friends and followers, old and new, who are visiting. If you happen to be here from Twitter or my personal Facebook page, you may very well recognize my lovely little avatar there to your left, offering a fin in greeting. As always, you are all welcome to stay as long as you wish, visit the archives, comment if you like, and come back often with friends! All I hope is that you enjoy yourselves enough to pop on over there to your right and click the Join This Site button. The more the merrier!
Now then, let's move on to those spells I mentioned. The following documents are, as you probably know, pages from one of Mary Morgan's many journals. One may not have considered this before now, but the Sorceress was once unschooled in the ways of magic herself. As such, she kept meticulous notes on important matters like spells, curses, hexes, charms, enchantments, and so on.
First we have the relatively harmless Revelation Spell. As the Sorceress admits here, she used this spell to discover just exactly what she was up against when she found herself face to face with that bio-mechanical madman Mortimer Kilsmore. I found this document particularly enlightening since we have featured the Deviant Kilsmore here in our ponderous place more than once. As you can see by the cogs and gears secreted away inside him, he is potentially a great deal more malevolent than we may have first believed. I find this all the more reason to alert the magically uninformed, particularly since we've been warned relentlessly that our world is on a collision course with that of the magicians! (Yikes! And double yikes! I say.)
Moving on quickly, this next bit I have to show you is indeed far more alarming than the first. In this rendering, the Sorceress shows us what takes place when the Disintegration Spell is used. Unlike the previous spell, this magic should surely be considered a weapon! Fortunately Mary Morgan was wise enough to note that this spell should only be used against an immortal enemy (to buy time for whatever reason, I suppose), and that all others will perish permanently! (This, I feel, is certainly deserving of another Yikes!)
And now, as alarming as it may be, I feel I would be remiss if I did not present you with this fearsome representation of a combination of these two spells. When used in tandem, it appears this magic strips away the victim's outer facade to reveal their inner true natures, but what I wonder is...do they survive this daunting magic? As much as I have recently learned of the Sorceress Mary Morgan, I can honestly testify that she is certainly an unmatched Warrior for the Greater Good of Mankind and so would never use this sort of Revelation and Disintegration lightly, nor for her own gain. So far, I have had little opportunity to ask magical members for counsel on this matter, but be assured, I will.
In closing, I would like to thank you all once more for stopping by and express my hopefulness that you will indeed return (with friends). I expect I'll have a great deal more to report by the time we meet again and it is my fondest hope that you will find it all as fascinating as I do. Until then, by all means, do Dream Big!
Wait!
What's this?
What's going on here?!
(Oh, how very rude!)
P.S. If you would like to further investigate the magic we discuss here at Ponderous Things, you would be wise to invest in my Buggy Crenshaw books or Magpie & Dilly. All are available in both paperback and Kindle editions.
