What is is this strange new trend? Musings of a Mind Doctor.

"What is this strange phenomenon I see...

These deer, they are...characters...from a human story? Yes, I recall now.

Charming England, a secret world of magic and wonder, hidden from the sights of ordinary people. A story of teenagers, children really, swept into unbelievable circumstances by forces beyond their control. A boy wonder. A struggle between good and evil. Classic storytelling elements really.

But now these characters arrive here...hmm.

...

Not surprising perhaps. There is no standard for arrival into this forest, who is to say that works of fiction cannot find their way here as well. I merely wonder at their...capabilities...of survival.

I do not deny that there is magic in this place. It is not hidden, in fact it announces its presence flamboyantly.

If I remember however...in their world, these characters must channel their magic through the use of wands. A typical device in human wizardry, perhaps an early phallic symbol for male magi to announce their prominence. I do not profess to be an expert in this study, but I must wonder...

If these characters must use these tools to channel their magic...how will they manage in this forest? Will the magic not be accessible to them, without such a device? The stories make note of how simply saying the spell will just not produce the desired effect.

Perhaps they will still use wands, although I spy a problem on the horizon in terms of...practicality.

It is of course possible for ones such as ourselves to manipulate tools with our mouths, although it is most definitely not an ideal means. Hooves are out of the question...it is too difficult to manipulate something with dexterity when you only have two 'fingers'.

Hmm...

...Further observations will be needed...

These have been the musings of the Mind Doctor.

Deer are known for channeling

Deer are known for channeling Forest magic through their antlers. Perhaps it will not be so different here?
