- That “human”, Aleister Crowley, had a few pieces of magic viewed as great achievements,
- but one of those was based on a magic phrase that may have been the most famous in the
- world.
- Abrahadabra.
- The phrase was well known in the context of mocking those who believed in the occult,
- but very few people knew it was more often included in magic charms and magic circles
- than in spoken incantations.
- Its effects could be described as a curse reversal.
- When an enemy cast a curse, such as the Eye of Horus or an ankh, it would divert it or
- send it back toward that enemy, so it was widely known as a protective charm.
- However, just as all techniques are neither good nor evil, it came down to how the magic
- was used.
- Think of it like light.
- If a light-reflecting mirror was curved, it could focus the light on a single point. Then the
- supposedly harmless sunlight could be used to start fires or even spark a wildfire that
- covered the entire landscape.
- This was the curvature of a curse.
- The concept had naturally arisen in all cultures, eastern or western. Someone might have
- a doll take their place, or someone might divert an enemy’s aim by escaping inside a magic
- circle drawn on the ground.
- The curse itself might not be that rare.
- There were curses that took undirected resentment or jealousy and used a spell to create
- an invisible arrowhead or bullet. Countless numbers of those were traveling all around
- the earth like the high speed connections of the internet.
- The “human” did not even need to refine his own magic power.
- He did not even need to reveal that he could use magic.
- He only had to capture one of the invisible curses flying around like a wireless LAN signal,
- slightly twist it, and redirect it. Since he was using someone else’s curse, there was not
- even the slightest chance of the curse being traced back to him.
- Abrahadabra.
- That “human” drew out an upside-down triangle with the same letters arranged in a
- regular fashion.
- That magic circle had been widely known since ancient times, but he had found a new
- interpretation and successfully built it into his own magical system.
- The true name he had given the curse-reversal circle said the following: I supply lightning
- for thy death.
- It was a truly ironic phrase for the strongest of the Electromasters.
