Analysis of "Great Magic":
It is a nice story and it gave me a lesson to learn. Watching my steps before heading or doing anything. I have to be sure of what I am going to do before heading to it. It is dangerous to just let yourself to the unknown. Studying and knowledge is not only in books. However, everything can be learned and acquired if we give it some care and attention.
