From the introduction: Magic is the term used to describe interaction with the world through paranormal means. The mind of the magic-user perceives and manipulates the universe without using the conventional senses, muscles and nervous system of the body. There is no common consensus on how this works, the many conflicting theories postulate various spiritual agencies, metaphysical correspondences and invisible forces. In any case the mind is made capable of such feats through the use of certain narcotic elixirs, psychotropic potions and esoteric entheogens colloquially referred to as “hex”, “jinx” or “glamour”.
