Journal May 19
- If i where to invent a magic spell it would be a spell that will give you the power of different views. If you were to get this spell cast on you it would help you understand the other persons view. Whether it may be from personal opinion or why someone in a higher power did a certain thing. It will help the worlds be a better place because it will help the other person have more of an insightful opinion on the argument in question. For example if we where at war or something and the president made a certain decision that not everyone agreed with, then you could cast the spell on everyone and they would be able to understand why they did what they did and there would be less controversy.
