Real Magic is a book written by Wayne Dyer, an American self-help author and motivational speaker. This book explores the concept of magic from a spiritual perspective and challenges the traditional notion of magic as mere tricks or illusions. Instead, Dyer suggests that real magic is a force that exists within each of us, waiting to be unleashed. In Real Magic, Dyer delves into various spiritual principles and concepts, including manifestation, intention, and the power of belief. He argues that by aligning ourselves with these principles and tapping into our inner resources, we can create our own reality and achieve extraordinary success in all aspects of our lives. Dyer emphasizes the importance of having a positive mindset and cultivating a deep sense of faith and trust in the universe.
Dyer emphasizes the importance of having a positive mindset and cultivating a deep sense of faith and trust in the universe. According to him, magic is not something that is reserved for a chosen few or something that can only be witnessed on a stage. Instead, he believes that magic can be found in everyday life, in the miracles that happen when we align ourselves with the higher power and trust in its guidance.
Dark Temptation Blood Magic
People always need more. The Magisters of Tevinter need more power to keep a leg up on their competition. The runaway apostate needs more to escape the ruthless Templars. The cult master needs more to bring demonic allies to his side. When a Mage needs more, they need only grasp a knife…
Blood Magic carries great power, and that power has done incredible and terrible things. It supposedly opened the Fade for the ancient Magisters of the Imperium to taint the Golden City with their sin, and it helps fuel the Mage-Templar war of the Dragon Age. Blood carries great strength for those willing to take the plunge. You never know what you’ll face in the cruel world, wouldn’t it just be prudent to be ready for it?
This following subsystem is completely optional and not part of the core game, but if you feel it might compliment your campaign, feel free to add it or show it to your GM!
- Optional Blood Magic: Blood magic is available as a dark temptation to all Mage PCs. Blood Magic mode is activated just like the Blood Mage Specialization talent, functions as per the talent, and the Blood Magic can be used with the following new rules:
- If the PC using Blood Magic does not have the Blood Mage Specialization, the PC must take 2d6 points of penetrating damage while only gaining the extra Mana of one of those dice, chosen by the PC before rolling. Those Mana are then spent to cast the spell as per the Blood Mage Spec
- The PC can take 2d6 penetrating damage to increase their Spellpower on their next spell by half the result of one of the dice, chosen by the PC before rolling (note that this does carry the danger that if the PCs rolls a 1 on that die then they simply botched the bloodletting and failed to boost their spell). Mages with the Specialization always gain at least a +1 on their Spellpower.
- The PC may choose to, instead, take 3d6 penetrating damage to upgrade the spell to the next spell that lists the original spell as a requirement, even if the PC doesn’t know that spell
- For example, a PC that knows Flame Blast could take 3d6 points of penetrating damage to make the spell work as per Flaming Weapons, or Drain Life could function as Death Magic, or Spell Shield would become Dispel Magic (with all the Mana costs, TNs, and casting times of the new spell)
- PCs may take more blood by stacking these effects, taking an additional 3d6 penetrating damage to upgrade a spell to the next spell in the tree or an additional 2d6 to boost the Spellpower
- PCs who have the Blood Mage Spec have access to all of these abilities as well, but the penetrating damage is reduced by 1d6 to reflect special training or a skilled bloodletting hand.
- PCs still need the specialization to take blood from allies or helpless or dying creatures, as per the Journeyman or Master degrees of the Blood Mage spec, but may use the extra effects listed here with those allies/victims if they have the spec.
It is worth noting that this system does add a lot of potential power to Mage PCs. This can have Rogue and Warrior PCs feeling left out or under-powered compared to mages, but would also be a very good simulation for why Mages are so widely feared.

Reviews for "Transforming Fear into Love: Wayne Dyer's Real Magic Lessons"
1. John - 1 out of 5 stars - I recently read "Real Magic" by Wayne Dyer and honestly, I was extremely disappointed. The book seemed to overpromise and underdeliver. Dyer's claims of uncovering the secrets of real magic were more focused on self-help techniques and positive thinking rather than any actual magical practices. I was hoping to learn about ancient rituals or mystical phenomena, but instead, I got a book filled with repetitive advice and generic motivational quotes. Save your money and find a more authentic book on magic if that's what you're interested in.
2. Lisa - 2 out of 5 stars - I was excited to read "Real Magic" by Wayne Dyer, hoping to gain some insights into the world of magic and spirituality. However, I found the book to be quite shallow and lacking substance. Dyer's explanations of mystical experiences felt overly simplistic and lacking depth. Additionally, the repetitive nature of his self-help techniques and positive affirmations became tiresome after a few chapters. While there were some thought-provoking ideas scattered throughout the book, overall, it fell short of my expectations.
3. Michael - 2 out of 5 stars - "Real Magic" by Wayne Dyer failed to captivate my interest. The book presented ideas and concepts that I was already familiar with from other self-help books, without adding anything new or groundbreaking. Dyer's writing style was uninspiring and lacked a coherent structure, making it difficult for me to stay engaged. There were moments where I thought the book would delve deeper into the topic of magic, but it turned out to be more of a motivational guide rather than a genuine exploration of real magic. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a profound and insightful read on the subject.
