Yet another bit of Larry Niven analysis comes to mind.
In his _What Good is a Glass Dagger?_ an evil magician is desribed to
the chief good wizard, the Warlock.
The bad guy, it seems, carries a sword. The Warlock bursts out
laughing. His explanation is that since a wizard has so many more
powerful protections, he only carries a sword if he's using it as a
cure for impotence. IIRC the dialogue goes, "Does it work?" "Of
course it works, it's straight one-to-one similarity magic. But you
have to take the sword to bed with you!"
Thus Niven sheds new light on the personality of Godric Gryffindor.

What do you think they use for birth control, then?
