An Impulse

Why me? A question that has plagued me all my life. Be it wanting to lead an army, having men and women look up to me, or just making a sandwich each morning. It always felt like a chore. Then, I noticed it. Off in the distance, guy I was more afraid of than anything else. Who was he? Why was he here? What did he want?
Let me just say, to you who has found my story, whether it be through boredom, or this affliction that has grasped me, and many others.
Beware!
What lies ahead is not for the faint of heart. It is a tale of Love an Loss, Ambition and Dissapointment, a Choice between Action and Inaction.
A Manifestation of Potential Energy.
And between you and me...
Why not me?

Realising that Magic was something so simply, really allowed the Imagination to flourish. Why become Charismatic if you could just make people like you by use of a Magic Cha4m?
Why become physically strong if Physical Enhancement Magic Exists?
Why Talk when Telepathy exists?
We could go on and on about everything that exists to replace Real Influence, however I'd rather spek of Perspective and Perception.
Why only be charismatic if I can Amplify it with a Catalyst? Why only be strategic without a Catalyst to stimulate Growth? What surprises me of past Magicians, Warlocks, Sorcerers and Warriors is how much they had to rely on External Stimuli to shape themselves. The question then, is, is there a way to create a warrior with just Internal Stimuli? Perhaps Magic has the Answer, perhaps Knowledge, Wisdom or Power have the answer. Moreso in Pursuit of it, we aim to defy the Gods, not to destroy them, but but to make them into Instruments, for a better Realm.

And thus the Tower fell, a structure so brittle and rigid that even the smallest gust Boreas could muster would tear it down. What did we learn then, we who have been blessed, not only by Gods, Deities, Demons, and Curious from different planes? I believe what we learned is that Immunity is impossible, Resistance is Difficult and Resilience, so complex, for if you are to make a shield of magic, it might hold off the Grandest Blast imaginible, take you to Depths one can only hope for and treat the mightiest Wounds with ease, but without proper Preperation and Execution it will shatter by it's Ability to allow the Lifeblood of Existence from reaching you. It is not in acting alone Power is found, but in the Courage to seek Preperation and in the Questioning of "How" and "Why" Something is to be done where true Resilience lies.
It is wise to bend with the wind rather than to break in the storm with rigidity and Stagnation alone.
