Moore is 100% /ourwizard/ even if he doesn't have every detail quite right. He lives in opposition to the cult of moloch/the inverted Saturn.
Not that it matters but these fucks can't even get their own mythologized pop culture references right. Voldemort's name was always used this way, that's why you weren't supposed to say it, because it's fucking Name Magic and he could hear you. Voldemort had regained power in the last books so the spell was being used that way again. This was one of the few legitimately decent uses of magic in the entire book series besides brief shout outs to the ruby dreamstone, bezoars, and… no that's about it. (Hermione's bag of holding doesn't actually count because it reinforces that she was as dumb as her writer and was held back as a witch because of it.)
Polite sage for off topic, but what's a good example of clever magic use in literature? I agree with your points, and you seem like you have a good frame of reference.
I once heard about a book series where people from [generic fantasyland] summon The Greatest Wizard of All Time which turns out to be a computer engineer from our world. Eventually the engineer figures out that magic in their world is equivalent to binary computer code and he sets about making a language, compiler, OS and so on and becoming The Greatest Wizard of All Time. It sounds like the kind of book that would use clever quirks of software engineering plus magic to tell an interesting story, but I'll be damned if I can't remember the name of the book when it was recommended to me.
Don't cry,he's selling more penis pills than ever. He was the no.3 syndicated talk show in the cuntry ,right behind limburg & art bell. His fans will find him & the Streisand effect.
