"My dear. Magic is a complicated and ancient art that has many, many facets that are impossible to know. The powers that guide our world flow through us and everyone. Trying to understand it in the manner you are trying to is like standing still on the banks of a river and trying to follow a passing twig in the current from beginning to end. You cannot see the twig land in the water, nor can you see it go all the way down stream. You can only see a select period of its travel. A piece of the flow. That is all magic. You tap into the flows that make our world. Light, dark, ancient or well-studied. Magic lasts as long as the mage's concentration. For as long as they can see the drifting twig."
