Intelligence And The Strength Of One's Will, Are they related? Options

What do you think?

Personally, I'm not sure. 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.

I'm firmly in the 'maybe' camp. The ability to do magic really resides within each individual, and I've known intelligent people who were great magicians. I've also known ones that fancied themselves as such and wound up quite literally going insane. I've also known not-so-bright people who had spectacular results, and others who didn't. So... *shrug*

I think intelligence makes it easier to *learn,* esp. if you're in a tradition that relies heavily on written texts, but it's not necessarily a requirement. Strength of will depends on the individual and what goal that individual is trying to reach at any given time. Intelligence and will are both very subjective things.
