Elements of magic

[Bob Schroeck]

Back in the eighties I worked up the outline of something I called "magian assembly", which was basically a programming language for magic. I'd do it very differently now, but for what it was at the time, I was rather proud of it. Its solution to the fireball problem was to remotely grab piece of solar core material the size of a dust speck and teleport it to the target. Somewhat around the barn for the goal, but I thought it was a cool idea.
