Do I believe in magic? First off, how do you define magic?
But unless you mean magic tricks on stage, I'd be agnostic at most.
If I believe in magic, its only in the "sufficiently advanced science" sense.

It's less the usual 'I cast fireball' and more 'I summon and empower Abraxes, who is emblematic of an unmastered force in my own psyche that I need to harness for a purpose'. It becomes an interesting take on the ability of the human mind to create and empower alternate selves and voices and hand them control...
I love this explanation, you win the thread man.
