If you want to call it that. But it is a very specific sort of magic. There's a magic you take from death. Something leaves the world, something else comes into it.

Neil Gaiman
If you want to call it that. But it is...
If you want to call it that. But it is...
If you want to call it that. But it is...
If you want to call it that. But it is...
About This Quote

The power of magic is a very real thing. It’s a connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead. And, because it is a real thing, it can be dangerous. Magic comes from death because it is a part of life.

The same way that we are born and die, magic also comes from death. When you use magic, using something from another place to do something in your life, you are using death as a tool. And, while magic can be a wonderful thing or a truly terrible thing, it is dangerous either way.
