Hmm... I sense components of evil, and components of good; components of order, and components of chaos; components of strife, and components of harmony; components of joy, and components of despair; components of darkness which somehow manage to reflect components of light. It's like a giant living fractal, pulsing with life, finite in scope yet infinite in bound, ever changing, ever growing, ever evolving into something that it wasn't quite, just a moment ago...
But these components seem to flow and vibrate with a certain synergistic energy, forming a gestalt entity in which the individual elements create seemingly unbounded energy through intellectual and empathic friction with one another; and this place then becomes much greater than the sum of all of its individual parts.
This place is but a canvas for the painters of imagination, a blank page for the poets of philosophy, and empty Word document for the whitepaper of our intellectual musings, an untaken capsule of nature's own anti-depressant.
The source of the magic is simply the people here. You. Flagg. Ana54... and several dozens more I might name off the top of my head, hundreds that I might name if I did a bit of research, thousands more waiting to be discovered.
Aspie magic; 'tis a strange and wondrous thing; I thank the gods for it...
Good fortune,
- Icarus the Aspiemancer
