Was about to make a joke and found out somebody had done it way better than I ever could

Ah, I have an idea!

Aha, that's what's inside.

What to put inside tho?

oh hey i got a package

My wife took my graph paper. I think she's plotting something.

"So you're saying people can't even draw spells right anymore? What the heck does penmanship have to do with it?"

"When was the last time you used a thorn?"

"From a plant?"

"Instead of 'y' for 'ye.' It's like a 'b' and 'p' combined."

"Uhh..."

"How about a tall 's?'"

"All the time?"

"Not capital. Tall. A tall lowercase 's.'"

"You're making this up, aren't-"

"Wikipedia link."

"Dang."

"Yeah. Language has changed. A lot. Magic hasn't."

"Look, messing with hearts is no small task. It's not the stuff a kid should be messing with. Or anyone, really."

"So they screwed it up?"

"In some way, probably. Magic can be very easy to screw up."

"I put on my robe and wizard hat-"

"No, I mean seriously. Half the reason old spells don't work anymore is people can't speak it right. We've lost the phonemes. Unless you're a period scholar."

"So we can blame pronunciation?"

"And penmanship."

"So you're saying magic is possible?"

"Yes."

"But nobody has MP."

"MP is very hard to get. There's a difference. Magic was more or less used up. It hasn't had time to recharge."

"So what about Wicca?"

"Look, if you didn't know a dozen high schoolers who tried casting love spells and whatnot-"

"And it never worked."

"That doesn't mean the magic wasn't wasted."

What nobody seems to be talking about:

Due to the increased hygiene awareness and rules, fewer people than typical have been infected with other viral or bacterial infections since March.

"Our influenza season ended pretty abruptly in March. In the southern hemisphere the influenza season has gone almost unnoticed. Most other cold viruses have also become rare." (C. Drosten)

There is a lot to learn and research here.

I like dark themes as much as (much more than) the next person, but claiming you need one to be 'modern' just underscores how much 'modern' in UI is a matter of fashion.
