tales for dreamers: sprinkling magic for wish fulfillment

Hurry! The dancer has risen into the air and she’s sprinkling her famous magic motes now. 

This is the move everyone’s been waiting for. Now’s the time to rush on to the stage and gather as many motes as you can. 

It’s trickier than you think it is. The motes are too tiny and their fall is too erratic to know where to place your hands so they land straight in your palms. Besides, in the shifting light of the tent, it can be hard to tell a magic mote apart from a trick of light.

But fret not. I can tell you exactly how to maximize your chances of collecting as many magic motes as you can.

Simply stand still, right under her outstretched hands as they generously sprinkle far more magic motes than you’ve ever seen in all your life.

It’s counterintuitive, I know. Who wants to stand still when everyone else is jumping around like crazy?

But if you do, you’ll soon find yourself covered from head to toe in magic motes. Far more magic than you’ll need in this lifetime.

Of course there’s always the risk that someone might notice the treasure you’ve amassed and lunge at you, wanting to scrape off some of your loot and add it to theirs.

Don’t worry. When that happens, your magic motes will help you fly up into the air. Quite like how they help the dancer stay far out of the reach of greedy, grabby hands.
