Hahaha, Jordyn, Magick sounds a lot like Taoism (one internal force controlling the universe and everything in it) In my Kung Fu practice, we do use meditation techniques to harness our 'chi' energy...Sounds a lot like what your saying.

The Tao or universal force seems to be a very popular theme these days, I'm seeing it everywhere...I dunno, though, I'm still a big skeptic

Oh ya, my experience with the Merlin character is limited to the wacky antics of Disney's Sword in the Stone cartoon...Man, that was a sweet movie...
