Im making a post after a nightmare I just had. I considered letting sleeping dogs lie, but if I damn my eternal soul, so be it /jk… or am I? hehe

So, entertain the thought for a moment: magic is real. You yes, you could do magic and put hexes and spells on people after some studying.

But without any organizational backing, that seems like a bad idea. Of course, big nation-states would have their own sorcerers and witches. So youd have to get organized, or you might get taken out by some ops unit or a rogue operative while youre binding a level 7 demonic entity.

What I’m saying is: if magic were real (and let’s just entertain it for worldbuilding purposes), the USA would 100% be practicing advanced, high-level magic through various organizations that serve it. And not just any magic, but the darkest kind human sacrifices, blood magic, ritual orgies, that type of stuff.

So, as someone whos always been curious about the paranormal and has a bunch of different magical tomes around the house, it seems very dangerous to practice magic alone without the backing of an organized movement, or at least a coven of like-minded people.

I dont think trying to put a spell on a US president, for example, would work just like that. There must be counterspells and powerful wards in place.
