Challenge: cast a spell in 73 words or less.
a dash of magick,
alchemy dark and potent,
to conjure ancient secrets
from tombs and places unknown.
stir the mind to whirling speed,
transcend the astral plane.
bring back the treasured knowledge
then sign the pledge
to never tell.
there is no magick.
there is no spell.
That ending is awesome!
