Talk:Magic

The show doesn't tell us a lot about how magic is done or why it works, but we know a few things.

Willow says somewhere, in Season 3 I think, that "it's a matter of emotional control."

Magic is addictive and dangerous to the person who practices it. Emphasized several times.

Magic always involves a price. Spike says this somewhere, and I don't think he's the only one.

And, in season 7, remember Willow draws power from Kennedy because she was "the most powerful person nearby." She says, "that's what I do," drawing power from people. I don't remember hearing much discussion in the fandom about that. It raises many disturbing questions. When Willow cast her spell to empower all the potential slayers, or when she intended to end the world, from whom did she draw the power? And what did it do to them?
