The First Rule Of Magic



It’s a fact drummed into you at every (reputable) magic school on the plane. ‘Once made, never unmake’. If you mess up, learn to live with your mistake.

It was rote knowledge, but never explained. It was just the first rule of magic. But eventually, the day I was given my own wand, I went to my room and, after some thought, created a cheese sandwich.

After a few seconds, I cast the destroy spell.

I then got to experience having the universe notice my flaunting of its rules for a split second before it took steps to fix me.
