I got the magic. It's an incredible feeling, a sensation that electrifies your entire being and makes you believe that anything is possible. It's that spark of inspiration, that surge of energy that ignites a fire within you. When you have the magic, you have an unwavering belief in yourself and your abilities. You feel like you can conquer the world and achieve any goal you set your mind to. It's a state of mind where fear and doubt are replaced with confidence and determination.
It's a state of mind where fear and doubt are replaced with confidence and determination. The magic is not something that can be explained or quantified. It's something that comes from deep within, a force that pushes you to strive for greatness and excel in all that you do.
Tim Hunter (Books of Magic) Respect Thread
This RT focuses specifically on Tim Hunter in the original Books of Magic miniseries, the Arcana annual, the first Books of Magic ongoing series, the Books of Magic annuals, the Vertigo Rave one-shot, the Hellblazer/The Books of Magicminiseries, and the Vertigo: Winter’s Edge anthology. The three Books of Faerie minis (Books of Faerie, Auberon’s Tale, Molly’s Story) and the Children’s Crusade mini are from this time period but don’t have any feats, and the Tim in the Mister E mini is to the best of my knowledge from a parallel timeline. So in other words, this RT covers all of Tim’s appearances from his first appearance up through the end of the first ongoing, or, basically, classic Tim.
This RT does NOT include Names of Magic, Hunter: The Age of Magic, Books of Magick: Life During Wartime, hisJustice League Dark appearances, or the 2018 Books of Magic, which either are in my opinion not great (the first two) or are different versions of the character.
I will largely present Tim’s feats in chronological order, with a list of restrictions and gear at the end. I’d optimally like to show the feats thematically, but because of those restrictions and because he grew in skill over time, with a few temporary teachers, it’s easier to understand the context behind his abilities if they’re shown chronologically. Plus, his magic effects are all over the place, as you’ll see. This is almost every incidence of Tim using magic during this period, from big to small, to give a better sense of the range of his abilities.
Who Is Tim Hunter?*
Tim Hunter is a magician of extraordinary power, of a particular kind called an Opener. There is only one Opener at a time. He has a direct channel to the pure magic of the universe. As an Opener, he is capable of creating numerous entire dimensions without even conscious effort.
He can also do any number of things that are more classically “magic tricks’” or “spells,” which is most of what you’ll see here. He actually gave up his Opening magic for a huge portion of the main series, issues 44-75, although he did still some magic here and there in that period. (Although he gave up his abilities as an Opener, he could still do magic in the same way anyone who learned magic through study and practice could do magic.) Eventually he got it all back.
There are many alternate versions of Tim, mostly due to the fact that as an Opener, he unknowingly created many other worlds as a child, each of which also had a Tim, the most powerful of whom was called the Other. The Other eventually absorbed all the other worlds and Tims and tried to supplant the real Tim. There is also another character known as Sir Timothy or Mister Wrong, who is (sort of) the original Tim, but from the future. I will show some of the Other’s feats at the end for context, but generally the other Tims’ powers don’t scale well with the original Tim because of their different levels of experience and technical learning. (Often they are more experienced and with more technical expertise, but less pure power.)
*If you have to ask, Tim, the skinny brown-haired English boy with glasses who is destined to be the greatest magician of all time and has a pet owl, came before that upstart Harry what's-his-name.

It's that extra boost of motivation that pushes you to go the extra mile, to put in the extra effort. Having the magic doesn't mean that everything will come effortlessly. It means that you are willing to put in the work and overcome any obstacles that come your way. It's about embracing challenges and using them as opportunities for growth and learning. When you have the magic, you radiate positivity and inspire those around you. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and people are drawn to your energy and passion. You become a catalyst for change and a beacon of hope for others. The magic is not something that you can possess all the time. It comes and goes, like waves crashing on the shore. But when it does come, it's important to embrace it fully and make the most of it. It's a precious gift that should never be taken for granted. So, if you ever find yourself feeling the magic, hold on to it tightly. Let it guide you on your journey and propel you towards your dreams. Because when you have the magic, there's no limit to what you can achieve..
Reviews for "Git LFS: Managing Large Files with Ease and Magic"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "I Got the Magic". The plot was weak and predictable, and the characters felt flat and uninteresting. The magic elements were poorly incorporated into the story, and it felt like an afterthought rather than an integral part of the narrative. The writing style also lacked depth and failed to engage me as a reader. Overall, I found the book to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to others.
2. John - 1/5 stars - "I Got the Magic" was one of the worst books I've read in a long time. The storyline was confusing and disjointed, making it difficult to follow along. The characters were poorly developed, and their actions often seemed arbitrary and unrealistic. The dialogue was stilted and awkward, and the prose left much to be desired. I struggled to finish this book and can confidently say that it was a waste of my time. Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.
3. Amy - 2/5 stars - While "I Got the Magic" had an interesting concept, the execution fell flat for me. The pacing was off, with the story dragging in some parts and feeling rushed in others. The world-building was lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions about the magical elements introduced in the book. The main character lacked depth and growth, making it difficult to connect with her on an emotional level. I was also disappointed by the lack of diversity in the cast of characters. Overall, I was left wanting more from this book and wouldn't recommend it to fellow readers.
