My Personal Encounters with the Enigmatic Magical Spread in My Vicinity

There is a magical spread in my vicinity that never fails to captivate me. In the heart of the neighborhood, lies a small park that seems to possess an enchanting aura. The moment one enters, they are greeted by a lush blanket of vibrant flowers that stretch as far as the eye can see. Each petal holds a different hue, forming a mesmerizing tapestry of colors that effortlessly blend together. Butterflies gracefully flutter from bloom to bloom, adding an element of whimsy to the scene. The foliage that surrounds the flowers is equally as remarkable.

The goal of this training, of course, is to teach the muggle-to-wizard conversion spell. If that spell is very simple, then it could be the very first spell taught, the way that "Hello, world!" is used in most real-world programming courses. If the conversion spell is very complex, it could be used as a final exam: If you can successfully convert the next guy who walks in, congratulations! You've learned all that we can teach you. Now go out there and start your own magic school.

For example if your story so far is that your spell is working slowly and your action card says you need to speed it up but you are unsure how, your clarification card should give you some insight into how you can speed it up. Creating tarot spreads is a lot of fun and pretty easy, not to mention handy when you need to know specific information and you can t find a spread that really gets to the heart of the matter.

The foliage that surrounds the flowers is equally as remarkable. Towering trees stand tall, providing shelter and shade for those seeking solace from the scorching sun. Their verdant leaves sway gently in the wind, creating a soothing melody that lulls me into a state of tranquility.

How would a small society of wizard geneticists spread magic powers through a magicless earth best?

A society of wizards has a magical gene they want to spread on an otherwise magicless earth. The magic gene is limited in total potency to any effects that you could produce with a million dollars. You can be as fast as a car, be as deadly as a machine gun, as durable as a steel safe through means other than being a car, safe or machine gun like running fast, having tough skin, or throwing fireballs. Weight can be a concern for some powers- having the armor of a tank power without a tank engine power may make them immobile. They can each convert a human in about a day, with or without their consent or knowledge, and there are a few dozen of them. They can generate basically any genetics needed for the gene- dominant, recessive, triggered by environmental conditions or stress, hiding in the genes for x generations. They can't produce a virus to immediately rapidly convert everyone to be a wizard, because their spells are also limited to million dollar costs. How can they make most of the world's population magic users as quickly as possible? What power package should they give? What genetics should they have for their magic gene? Ideal answers will give a clear plan to converting as many people to be mages as possible. They can obviously make a couple thousand of magic users a year directly, but ideally those magic users will make more magic users via breeding, so these genetics should boost their fertility rate somehow. They also won't assume future technologies to be available. The wizards don't know how long they'll be alive, and could be killed or die of a heart attack in the future. They want to spread their legacy as much as possible, and while future tech may make this easier, it might not. So, how would they spread magic genes?

$\begingroup$ Can they build this gene-altering virus step by step, one million dollars at a time? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ A side note - after most of the Earth population is converted to mages, economies crash and US dollar undergoes hyperinflation. And as the value $1,000,000 goes below preinflatory 1 cent, we are all back to a non-magical world. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Humans spend billions of dollars on genetic engineering and don't know how to do this. I wouldn't assume people who are limited to million dollar spends would do better. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ "don't know how to do this" - does this magic has any power to do things that don't have a precise price tag? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ creating a retro-virus would cost way less than a million dollars today. thanks to crispr altering an existing genome is not that expensive. $\endgroup$

The air is fresh and crisp, tinged with the sweet fragrance of blossoming flowers and earthy muskiness of the forest. As I wander deeper into the park, I discover a meandering stream that cuts through the landscape. The water flows gracefully, its surface reflecting the dazzling sunlight. Colorful fish dart in and out, adding bursts of vibrancy to the water's already mesmerizing appearance. Trees lazily stretch their branches above the stream, casting shadows that dance upon its surface. Interspersed throughout the park are small, hidden nooks that invite exploration and contemplation. Wooden benches nestled under the shade of ancient trees beckon weary souls to rest and indulge in the serene surroundings. Stone statues, worn by time, stand sentinel along the pathways, their imposing presence evoking a sense of mysticism. But perhaps the most captivating aspect of this magical spread is the atmosphere it exudes. The park seems to hold an intangible energy, as if it is perpetually teetering on the edge of something truly extraordinary. It is a place where dreams come alive, where mundane worries dissolve into the ether, and where the impossible becomes tangible. In this seemingly ordinary park, magic thrives, weaving its spell upon anyone who enters. It is a reminder that beauty and enchantment can be found even in the most unexpected of places. I find solace and inspiration within its embrace, and I am grateful for the enchantment that exists in my vicinity..
