Magic Forums

I've spent a while chasing mermaid spells and impossible dreams. If you look at my history, barely any of my spells are even possible. I've just reached the due date of a fantasy spell I did, and I've decided that, if I'm so interested in magic that won't work, I should try the things that will. If I do a real working spell, won't that be interesting enough? And even if it's not spells, magical workings will probably be very helpful in my life if I learn how they really work and how to use real magic.

So, can you help me? What is a good way to set myself on a better magical path? How do I start, and what should I do first? I'm okay with not doing any spells until I'm better. How does a new practitioner learn real magic and try to stay away from the fake stuff that enticed them before?
