@marzipanlimpet , I completely agree with you on the magic thing. You’ll see more of my thoughts on the matter as you continue to read. It is in the title, after all.
My updates aren’t regulated at all. It’s one of my many faults. Some chapters just come to me more easily than others. I am, however, always working on it. If there hasn’t been an update in some time, it’s probably because I’ve taken after Pooh Bear, tapping my head and “think, think, think”-ing.
