The path of magic

If you choose magic you will never be able to return to the life you once lived.
Your world may be more … exciting … but it will also be more dangerous. Less reliable.
And once you begin to walk the path of magic, you can never step off of it.
Or you can choose the path of science, of rationality.
Live in a normal world. Die a normal death.
Less exciting, undoubtedly. But safer. …
It is your choice Timothy. Always and forever your choice.
