magic tricks

[marycatelli]

The heroine has her magic.  She can use it for useful tricks, such as running errands without being pestered, because she can't be seen.

THEN it occurs to me that that particular trick would be of mind-boggling importance in the politics she's involved in.

Unless I curb it.

So out come the whip and the chair.  Back, ability, back!  Into your cage.  You are a fun trick and little more!
