why does it have to be so...arcane?
Same reason as why religion is this complicated:
Magic grants power versus those who do not know how to use it. Make it more complicated and it does not become common knowledge. Which in turn gives those who -do- know it's core more power.

The might game... *sighs*
At least magic, to a certain extent, is valid. This in sharp contrast to -some- religions.

thats the thing.....you can worship chiritianity without a church or paying thousands of pounds to repair a roof or etc...just look under a rock as Gybrial Byrnes would say. the same is true of any religion or magic.

it's man that is complicated
