The Brief History of Magic
For thousands of years, Magic was commonplace. Hearing voices, seeing spirits, and invoking spells were everyday things. The constant and vibrant use of Magic kept the Shadow World close to our own world. The boundary was so thin, they say, that anyone could see through the veil in the dead of the night.
