Dear reader, Do you remember a time when the world seemed full of magic? When the ordinary was extraordinary, and wonder could be found in the simplest of things? As we grow older, it often feels like the magic begins to fade, replaced by cynicism and routine. But what if we could bring back the magic? What if we could rekindle that childlike sense of awe and amazement? The good news is, we can. It may require some effort and a shift in perspective, but the magic is still there, waiting to be rediscovered. One way to bring back the magic is to embrace curiosity. Be curious about the world around you and allow yourself to be amazed by its wonders. Take the time to notice the little things – the intricate patterns in a butterfly's wings, the way the sunlight dances through the trees.
Fast-forward to the Satanic Panic of the 90’s, when Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering became associated with the occult and were deemed too dangerous for children to associate with. Wizards of the Coast pulled out demons and any references to Hell for over a decade, until the premier of Grinning Demon in Onslaught in 2002. Since then, The Abyss hasn’t been addressed much, as almost every plane in the Multiverse has its own demons, and many have their own underworlds. In 2023, Planechase finally cleared up the naming convention of the plane, however, and officially named it as “The Abyss”, with the other main name, “The Pit” being a location within it. Still, this is what is generally assumed to be known of the plane known as ‘The Abyss’ in Magic lore:
The Abyss is home to a multitude of other demons, including The Wretched, demons who domineer the minds of enemies and force them into servitude for eternity; Belzenlok, an elder demon and master of deceit; and Boris Devilboon, a boogeyman and associate of devils. In 2023, Planechase finally cleared up the naming convention of the plane, however, and officially named it as The Abyss , with the other main name, The Pit being a location within it.
Take the time to notice the little things – the intricate patterns in a butterfly's wings, the way the sunlight dances through the trees. Rediscover the joy of learning, whether it's through reading a new book or exploring a new hobby. Curiosity keeps the magic alive.

Another way to bring back the magic is to cultivate a sense of gratitude. When we stop and appreciate the blessings in our lives, we realize just how magical they are. It could be the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature, or the simple pleasures of everyday life. Gratitude shifts our focus from what is lacking to what is abundant, and in doing so, it opens our hearts to the magic that surrounds us. In a world that often seems dark and chaotic, it's easy to lose hope. But hope is an essential ingredient in bringing back the magic. Believe in the possibility of miracles and the power of dreams. See challenges as opportunities for growth and change. Nurture a sense of optimism that the best is yet to come. Hope is the spark that ignites the magic within us. Lastly, don't be afraid to let your imagination soar. Embrace your inner child and indulge in creativity. Paint, sing, write, or dance – whatever form of self-expression brings you joy. Imagination is the gateway to the magical realms within us, where anything is possible and dreams become reality. It is through our imagination that the world around us transforms into a tapestry of enchantment. So, dear reader, let us embark on a journey to bring back the magic. Let us nurture our curiosity, cultivate gratitude, embrace hope, and unleash our imagination. Let us rediscover the wonder that lies within us and all around us. The magic is waiting – let us bring it back. With love, The Magic Seeker.
