Magic Is Just Science We Don’t Understand Yet

(you do not have to follow the beliefs associated with the style if that style has associated beliefs. The wheel curse does not affect anything like that.)

Specifically consider the following:

jinxes

hexes

curses

bindings

banishings

cleansings

hex - also mild but longer lasting than a jinx (may all your bacon burn, hit every red light on your way home for a month) still meant as an inconvenience, but can go as far as discomfort and mild harm

curse - moderate to severe negative effects, usually long lasting meant to cause harm (financial ruin, breakup a marriage)

are these concrete, distinct categories? hell no. I may cast a hex and then cast the same spell a week later calling it a curse. but time and severity are the determining factors

binding - using magic to keep a target from continued action, as opposed to punishing those actions. I personally do not consider this baneful.

banishing - using magic to remove the target from a space. also not something I consider baneful, but probably closer to baneful than banishing

cleansing - removing energy from someone/thing/where. the operative word is removing, whereas harnessing the energy and transmuting it would not be what I consider cleansing

Shay's $20 readings are open!

I've gotten some unfortunate financial news in the past week so I'm trying to open a few streams of revenue.

I'll pull as many cards as I need to from between two and four decks to answer your question. No card limits.

I will not answer:

- Legal questions

- Health questions
