>>512570892>self immolation is a spellAny time the issue of magic ever comes up, I remind people that every people that ever lived who believed in magic ended up getting defeated and conquered by those who did not believe in it. If the forest spirits were real and your tribe's voodoo rituals actually worked, then your people would never have ended up colonized by Whites.
So because we've ended up in a world where all magic believers were defeated and magic deniers are ruling over them, I think its safe to conclude that magic isn't real. The time and energy your tribe wasted in doing head shrinking and curses on your enemies would have been better served if you had spent that time on doing some scientific research and learning how to make that non-magic black powder that the pale faces use to power their thunder sticks.
