What Do You Use Magic For? Options

Magic: the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature

In it's definition magic has endless possibilities....

does it?

For some strange reason. when i am thinking up "Incantation" or "various other techniques" I have trouble thinking up what to do.

"what exactly is the problem i'm facing now? How do i solve it?" are questions i ask,

but magic doesn't seem to come up as an answer often.

and when it does, i use my trusty tarrot deck and i get BAD RESULTS
BAD BAD BAD RESULTS

so the magic i do always ends up being pure white magic since everything else seems it would go bad.

that's pretty limited if you ask me.

I agree with the ontological basis of what you're saying, i'm confused about a few points. From a personal perspective, how does an individual have the authority and will to claim an individual is capable of bettering an eternal cycle beyond our own understanding. I'm not sure if traditional taoism delves into the reincarnation/karma basis, but where is an individual able to define "the human condition" as an element of the past, present, and future, and still objectively act upon it. Is it possible to be a purple thread in a rug and rightfully claim that the entire rug is purple?
