Who can use magic, and who cannot? That’ll be our starting point.

Some of you might think that magic lets you do absolutely anything…
Pulling pranks on people, hurting your enemies…

If that’s what you think, then you’ll never learn magic. It’s true for both
eastern and western sorcery…

Those with wicked hearts will either be powerless, or be driven to ruin.

There’s one more thing that can’t be forgotten when learning magic.
That is… a “master”. You should aspire to become as good as your
predecessors, especially if you’re studying difficult magic. If you don’t
have a master, learning the black arts will be impossible.

When you begin your training, you’ll have to live in two worlds at once:
the real world, and the dark realm. If you can’t distinguish between the
two, you’re headed for certain disaster. That’s why the presence of a
master is of utmost importance!

With that in mind, I’ll move on to meditation, a standard practice in
magical training. Try meditating before going to bed. Slowly recall the
events of the day… It’s like travelling back through time. If you can do
that flawlessly, you may just make a good magician.
