Not to be confused with cases where someone either gets lost in the underlying magical fabric of the universe all on their own or decide they like it there so much there that they're staying.Ĭasting a spell with this kind of magic is often extremely dangerous. Or maybe it's lonely and tries to get you to stay awhile. Maybe it's hungry and wants to eat your soul.
