writing group! Whoo-hoo

So we were discussing the definition of mountweasel and got from that to magical tomes where the text included deliberate misinformation. Apparently this is an actual thing with grimoires. So I now want a story where magic does actually work but we think it doesn't because when people tried the spells from books they didn't work.

Hmmm...that's a neat idea.

Yeah, I think it'd work well in a story.

I could also see in BtVS fanfic, maybe where Willow wasn't aware of this phenomenon and tries a spell which backfires. *grin*

Yay! New excuse for Willow for when a spell fails! ;)
