"Enh, that's about right too."

"Am I being confusing? Basically she's being super determined at the problem, she does not think things are magically going to happen just because she wants it, but you can do everything right and still have things go wrong."

"Isn't it just?"

"Oh, you can too?"

"Magnetic spells give feedback."

"Nice."

"It's amazing! I'd show you if I could, but unfortunately they're self-target only."

"Oh well."

"How tightly themed are magical girl spells, am I going to have to relate any particular spell I'm going for to snow?"

"How's that happen?"

"There's a spell for it, it's called Synchronicity."

"I mean the connected magics part."
