Mythical creatures:
-Magic can not turn you into a vampire, a werewolf, a mermaid, or anything of the sort.
-Magic cannot do this because it can not make direct physical changes or change appearences, and because VAMPIRES DON'T EXIST.
-These creatures have never existed and never will.
-Psi-Vampirism is real, but it's a skill, not a race.
-It is never acceptable to go around saying you're a vampire, you either 1) sound like an idiot or 2) are a "poser."
The spells aren't working, why can't I do it?:
-Alot of newbies give up after one to ten tries of trying spells, too many do this.
-It takes time and practice to become good at magic.
-You DO NOT need magic in your family's history to do magic.
-You might be trying spells or rituals that are far more advanced then what you can handle.
-The natural order of things can and will make a spell or ritual fail as it sees fit.
-It doesn't matter what religion you are.
-All animals have a skill for that specific animal, cats are built to be able to land from long falls, monkeys can climb quickly, birds can fly, humans can control their environment to a certain point using their minds.
Astral Projection???:
-You cannot get lost in the astral plane, this question was started after the movie "Insidious" came out, in the movie a boy gets lost astral projecting, this cannot happen.
-If you die in the astral, you will just be snapped back to the physical plane, although you might be breathing heavy and sweating, you will be unharmed.
-You can find out how in many posts throughout the SoM website.
Is Realm Creation Real?:
-Yes, realm creation is real, it may be a little different then what you had in mind, but it's a fun and interesting thing to do and become a big part of our daily lives.
-Read my guide, "Realm Creation Guide" under astral projection in the forums.
