hi. didnt expect a reply so quick. ehm yes how dragons woprk is a thought experiment ment to bring peaple out of the mindset of "ignoring things either to fantastic or complicated to care about." the idea being dragons are easily reconisable, but have you ever wondered intently how they work? how can they breath fire? how do they fly what do there eyes look like and how do they function. hard to see prey from 200 feet up aint it? as far as the spells go. im looking to make a working wizard staff. the spells are as humans understand and can science a replica or an example of said spell. name a spell and describe it to me. and ill give you an example for clearity.
