Sympathetic Magic

After reading about the Principles of Magic, I discovered more about poetry than I once figured I did. I actually read this article twice, because at first I did not entirely understand the main points presented. However, after reading it again I realized that there are many different types of magic; what I once thought was illusionist magic and obvious magic are not just the two types but rather have different sublevels that include Imitative and Contagious Magic. The main point I extracted from this piece was that a Magician just knows the physical realm of his poem. The magician does not think about how the audience processes the information. This approach is one that I plan to follow when I write my own poems because I should not really think about which way the audience will interpret it, but rather focusing on depicting a storyline that is appealing to my own style.
