Yeah. Unless my mom's secretly been a wicked witch cursing my bloodline the whole time, this is my first run-in with magic. I'm still having a hard time buying it, but telling the guy holding us hostage that there's no such thing as magic sounds like a one-way ticket to being casualty number one. So fuck it, might as well be real.
