Detective Quote by Abramelin Keldor
““The only reason you need me at all, John, is because Magick actually works . If it were all just smoke and mirrors and stage magic, if the world worked the way religion or science says it works, then we wouldn’t have Vampyres in the first place. I’d be out of a job.””
