gollark: Worse variants of spells were secretly disseminated by the rulers of magical Britain.
gollark: The reason this never happens, and that British wizards never do anything smart, is that magic was actually reverse-engineered by a technology company's research department back in 1960 or so. They use memetics and/or various wizarding mind control things and/or generalized fidelius charm to stop everyone else being smart, while secretly ruling wizarding Britain.
gollark: It is canon™ that gun beats unprepared wizard.
gollark: Well, the horrible pain of being on fire might be bad.
gollark: It might be hard to deliberate while on fire.
