being a technomage still amazes me to this day.

i must cast a spell to be able to drive over in .au next month. so i first pull out my arcane focus (phone) and activate the verbal spell component; "hi bixby. search bing for triple-A international drivers permit". next comes the somatic component as i focus my will via minute finger movements, summoning the document to stream from the aether and to my dead-tree recombobulator where the International Drivers Permit application now sits waiting for me. it is still hot from being in it's previous plane of existence and smells faintly of the aether itself, a thick burnt carbon smell with a hint of lavender.
