Thank you for understanding... now, I went to the lexicon to read the
official word on how magic works and I found this...
"There are three properties to a spell, and physical laws aren't
involved at all. The three are intention, focus of power, and focus of
mind."

This fits in perfectly with the theory of the magic working because of
the brain of the witch or wizard. What do you think?
