I'm a storyteller, so I'll tell you one before we get to the toon.

It pays to know what you're doing. Mickey Mouse found that out the hard way in "Fantasia" -- as the sorcerer's apprentice, he magicked the broom to carry water for him, and then couldn't stop it. Alas, no one learns from the mistakes of others -- we all have to make our own.

Take Peggy, for instance. She's an 18 yr old senior student at Hogwarts. She's not a stellar student, and she's constantly getting into mischief. She'll graduate, but just barely.

Peggy's professor sets up a classroom demo early Sunday afternoon, to be ready for the next day. He doesen't want the house elves messing with it. He tells Peggy to sweep out the classroom, then fetch water from the well outside the North Gate and mop it down. It's scut-work that will take her all afternoon to finish. Being lazy, Peggy decides to magic the broom and mop to do the work for her.

Now, wizards don't use metal buckets, because magic and cold iron don't play well together. They use wooden ones, made by coopers the old way, out of hardwood for durability.

OTOH, broom and mop handles should be light and a little springy. In other words, the same type of wood you might use for a baseball bat.

And finally, short wands may be OK for some things, but heavy-duty magic requires a hawthorn staff.

Peggy has misplaced her wand, so she "borrows" the professor's staff. But she hasn't thought things through. She's working with the magical combination of Oak, Ash and Thorn, with a little Ivy thrown in for good measure. That requires skill, something she lacks.

Poor Peggy! It's only 1:30 PM, and it'll be HOURS before the professor comes back to check on her!

Further misadventures of Peggy, the maladroit young witch...

Remember "Magic Fingers" ?

You're on a road trip, circa 1970. You check in to your room at Motel 6 or Super 8, worn out from a day on the road. You see a coin box, like the ones on laundromat washing machines, on the wall near the headboard of the bed. Over the box is a sign: "MAGIC FINGERS - Automatic Massage - Deposit 25¢". That means there's an electric vibrator attached to the mattress inner springs, controlled by a timer in the coin box. You drop your quarter in the slot and lay down, and the mattress gives you a few minutes of half-ass "massage".

The wizarding world has something similar - in theirs, the coin opens a magic-proof iron box that contains the fingers. But remember, cold iron and magic don't play well together. Sometimes there are problems.

Peggy arrives at Motel-VI, exhausted after all day flying her broom. She puts the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, so the housekeeper won't come in until checkout time at 11 AM tomorrow. She takes a shower and decides to turn in early. She figures a massage would be just the thing to help her relax.

Poor Peggy!
