Magically Delicious

Why can't this life have magic? I mean come on, this world would be so great if we could just shoot lightning bolts from our fingers. Fwoosh! Dude, your ass is on fire again! Where did the idea of magic come up from anyway? So many myths, so many legends.

There has got to be a base from some of it. It's even in religion. Water to wine, walking on water, raising from the grave. This is some wicked stuff going on! Ever think that the people in the bible wern't witnessing miracles, just put the wrong mushrooms in thier sphegetti that night? "So, this is wine jesus?" , "Uh, Yeah! It just looks clear, but I promise it's wine." Come on, jesus wasn't walking on water, it was just a puddle.

 Anyway, wouldn't magic be cool? Perhaps not raising your friend from the dead, otherwise we'd have a Resident Evil thing happening, and then there would have to be laws.

-- No lightning bolts after 5:00 pm, for keeping the peace --

because we all know that lightning bolts are loud as hell. There would need to be some kind of tracking way for this magic too, so no one goes around burning everything down. But come to think about it, then we could have these epic battles for the Earth, the planet at stake! Legends would be born, and thusly we would have new stories for the parents to tell the kids at night.

We could save so much money too. Imagine no TV's. No gas heating, no electricity bills, water bills, labor costs would go down so much... hell, used right magic could pretty much make this world one of the best places to live I could think of.
