But in my experience there isn't any reason to suspect that a more intelligent person is more capable of doing Magick. I'd say Magick comes from the spiritual essence of a person, and that intelligence and Will are not related. -------------------- Reside in the Void Be Vacuous Have No Mind

Generally I've found that the ones with the strongest will are of average intelligence, or perhaps slightly higher. I know a lot of geniuses, but I wouldn't peg them as particularly strong of will. Magic tends to come more from the gut than the brain in any case. -------------------- Don't worry. It'll only seem kinky the first time.
