This is, in part, why there is less magic in the world today. Magic is secret and secrets are magic, after all, and years upon years of teaching and sharing magic and worse. Writing it down in fancy books that get all dusty with age has lessened it, removed its power bit by bit. Erin Morgenstern
About This Quote

Magic in a sense is the unseen in the world. It is also magic that does not get written down. Magic that is kept secret, magic that is shared by only a few, magic that cannot really be explained. Magicians are rare and magicians are powerful.

They can leave their audience breathless because magic defies all logic and the laws of science. The only problem is if magic gets taught it can be lost forever or never get passed on to others. Most of us today do not know how to cast true magic so we can never be capable of casting it again.

The power of true magic has diminished over time, but there are still some magicians out there who practice this art.
