the same place at the same time."

And the moment I comprehended that...

Voila.

I guess logic is stronger than magic.

Stronger than my magic?

Lo!

I...

have gathered...

the sum total...

of the worlds evil...

in one place.

And that place is me.

I am invincible!

No magic stronger!

I am the world and the world is Ommadon.

I can do anything.

Test me.

I can reach up and pluck down the Sun.

You can't do that.

Why, why you insect?

Why?

Seven heads and each one a simpleton.

Don't you know what you reach for

isn't in that position anymore?

The Sun is the Sun!

- I can see where it is!

- Where it was pip-squeak!

Any school boy knows that light

travels at 186,300 miles per second.

What you see is the Sun's position

eight and a half minutes ago.

No magic but mine,

can move the Sun.

I command it!

Not magic gas head, mathematics.

And that's the answer to

why Antiquity chose me.

You are magic. Mere illusion.

I am science, logic, and the truth.

You don't frighting me.

Nothing so horrible could be real.

- I deny you!

- Deny me and you deny all magic.

Say it then!

I deny all magic!

Deny this...

Kimpacto... solauu... insomaa.

Eran... courant... palay.

Ocaun... eeoan.

Those incantations can't hurt me.

I have some incantations of my own.

How about,

A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

Protons have 1,832 times

the mass of electrons.

All light is bent or refracted as

it goes from one medium to another,

in a direction perpendicular to the

interface between the two mediums.

- AAH!

- Hallucinations may result from the

selected actions of

external conditions.

Upon the variations from their specific

type which individual present,

Gravity varies as to the inverse

square of the distance.

The velocity of light is equal to the

wavelength times the frequency of vibration.

The geometrical properties

of the space time continuum

are determined by the masses

present in space and time.

Come devils, witches,

demons, ogres, trolls,

sand rats, harpies,

ghouls, sorcerers.

Come algebra, anatomy, astronomy, biology,

chemistry, geology, geometry, mathematics,

meteorology, neurology, oceanography,

paleontology, physics, psychology,

sociology, logistics, and so on.

sociology, logistics, and so on.

AAAHH!

AAAHH!

Behold my darling, the magical realm.

And look.

It's Carolinus.

I am home.

We are home.

Well Gorbash, awake at last?

Aragh, I thought you were

dead beneath the sea!

Old friend. Oh thank heaven

you're still intact.

We've won, Sir Peter we've won!

I don't understand. Why the blazes

do you call me by this man name?

- Gorbash?

- Of course Gorbash.

Why so shocked, Sir Orin?

You who practically hatched me.

Sir Peter, is gone.

Gone? Where?

As Carolinus hoped, he used his

knowledge of science to deny magic.

But, by denying magic,

he is lost to us forever.

- Father!

- Melisande! She's awake.

Father, Sir Peter was here.

- Yes, yes my darling.

- Look!

The Crown of Ommadon.

As foretold, it awaken you.

No, the kiss awakened me.

The kiss?

I was lost in that sleep of death.

Then I felt his lips upon mine.

I opened my eyes, and for

an instant I saw his smile.

Then he was gone.

Awakened you with a kiss eh?

Well, perhaps he isn't

completely lost to magic.

May, May I join him father?

Of all questions, I feared that the most.

- May I?

- That must be your decision child.

Go, and you may never

return to the Magic Realm.

For even now the great dome of

invisibility grows over our world

to protect its sanctity for all time.

And no one on the outside

may enter its boundaries,

save for the length of a dream

or flash of an inspiration.

But it will stay through the years

the centuries and the ages.

A part of man for all time.

And when ever man needs

magic, we will be here.

Eleven!

You dragon fire melts my ice.

Oh, you win.

- Look, I gotta' get back to work.

- Wait a minute.

- I do have some business now.

- I told you that watch of yours...

Not the watch.

This.

Ye gods! Solid gold!

- Where did you find this?

- Oh, I had a hoard.

I dont blame you for not telling.

You can live off this for years.

Travel, Europe, Asia, cruises.

No, I'll be satisfied with a cottage

surround by trees near a stream.

Like one I used to know.

Oh, can I help you Miss?

Where do you kids get these things?

Melisande!
