Everyone does magic all the time in different ways. 'Life' plus 'significance' = magic.
Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.
I can always see ways to improve what I've done. At the same time, knowing it's all an ongoing life's work allows me to be less precious about blind alleys, failed experiments, and misfires.
And that's why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death.
The only thing that made me, or any of us, special was that no one in the whole of history would ever see the universe exactly the same way any other of us saw it.
