Talk:Doctora Psychemagia

Every spell that ends in -ae is a set of different particular instances of a spell, all of which have some points in common but are very different in other respects.

Let me make an analogy. Psychemagia is like doing calculus--you have to know the formulas, but you also need the practice in order to find the patterns, and you also have to know when to use what formulas. You can have ten different problems on related rates, or on optimization, and they're very similar in concept, but they'll still be totally different in coming up with a solution. Same with Psychemagia. It's like actually being a doctor and diagnosing something--if people could just "tell" others, then everyone could be a doctor, and a robot can be programmed to replace doctors. That just doesn't happen.
