Magic has long trafficked in fantasies of power and control. This is the tantalizing idea that there are certain secrets one can master that will raise a person above their peers and allow them to command angels, devils, and assorted deities. Of course, we have also seen this cautionary tale play out across fairy tales and other works of fiction, and it rarely ends well, so here the Wizard offers a novel approach to Power: One based in relation, rather than domination. This episode provides explicit instructions for invoking Power politely and includes a full step-by-step ritual you can use to improve your own relationship with the particularly tricky Power... Discipline!
