To sum up:
A: "Is there Goetic magic in newMage?"
WW writer: "Yes, one of the secondary characters practices it in the demo."
A: "[after reading] That's not REAL Goetic magic. It's newage psychobabble."
WW writer: "Uh, here's what my copy of [book describing Goetic magic] says. [proves that Adam really does perform Goetic magic]"
A: "It's newage psychobabble! That's not REAL Goetic magic! REAL Goetic magic summons up spirits with names and shit FROM THE OUTSIDE, not your BRAIN!
I know! I've been practicing it for EIGHT YEARS!"
Oh em fucking gee.
