The term "magic number" is often used in sports to refer to the number of wins a team needs to secure a playoff spot. In the case of the New Jersey Devils, their magic number is the number of points they need to either accumulate or have the teams trailing them fail to achieve in order to secure a spot in the playoffs. Calculating a team's magic number involves taking into account various factors such as the number of games remaining in the regular season, the number of points the team currently has, and the number of points the teams below them in the standings have. The magic number decreases as the team wins games or as the teams below them lose games. Having a low magic number is desirable as it means that the team is closer to securing a playoff spot. On the other hand, a high magic number indicates that the team still has some work to do to guarantee their spot in the playoffs.
Witches have a mystical and mysterious effect on people. But where does this mystery come from and what still connects people with witches today? The witch cult is now more of a cultural asset than a horror scenario. It is not for nothing that witch figures are very popular, for example as decorative items.
The poppet is supposed to depict a good witch who inspires productivity and safety in a kitchen, but also counteracts any ill-will directed to the home. She eventually discovers he is named Erdwyn, and that he is running from his destiny in the north country, a place Mildryth s mother had warned her away from.
On the other hand, a high magic number indicates that the team still has some work to do to guarantee their spot in the playoffs. For fans, knowing the team's magic number can be a source of excitement and anticipation. It provides a clear goal and focus for the team, and each win brings them one step closer to achieving their playoff aspirations.

Mildryth is a young witch who, until three years ago, lived in the woods with her mother. Ever since her mother’s death, she’s been alone, never coming into contact with another human being. She possesses great magical powers which her mother taught her how to use but only when necessary. While out hunting one day, she wounds a deer with her arrow, but before she can kill it, the deer turns into a man. She eventually discovers he is named Erdwyn, and that he is running from his destiny in the north country, a place Mildryth’s mother had warned her away from. As she nurses Erdwyn back to health, the pair fall in love, but when his wounds fester, she must risk everything to travel to the north country to find the only cure. While there, Mildryth learns amazing things about herself, but upon her return, she is pursued by the powerful wizard who rules that land and who will not allow her to live happily and peacefully with her true love.
I really like The Witch in the Wood. It was quite a cute and unorthodox little love story. I mean it starts with the first person voice recounting the day that she met the love of her life. Which is about the only predictable aspect of this short story.
Firstly, the history of the witch is completely vague and difficult to understand. She’s completely on her own and sure of her own powers. But it isn’t until the stag enters her life that she really has to test her knowledge and experience. After all, he might bring love into her life, but he also brings danger and threats.
Ultimately, the witch in the woods is a reminder that it is important to care for others and your family. That sticking up for yourself is a power all in its own right.
Old Wive's Tales is a story about a middle aged house wife named Ashely, who's husband has been sent to war that has been going on for hundreds of years. Recently a powerful dark lord came into the world and grew in power by all the death and chaos brought between the two kingdom's.

Mutiple endings are planned as well. Old Wive's Tales is a top down adventure game influenced by golvellius and classic zelda games from the 90's. Currently in development by an extraordinary small team of 2 people (A husband and a wife) of which have full time jobs and an 8 month old baby.
In summary, the New Jersey Devils' magic number is the number of points they need to secure a playoff spot. It is calculated based on a combination of their own performance and the performance of the teams below them in the standings. Knowing the magic number can help fans track the team's progress and build excitement as the season progresses..
