The problem with magic in D&D

[Fifth Element]

According to D&D RAW, arcane casters cast spells by making specific motions with their hands and speaking strange words. But in reality, if someone did this, nothing would happen. Magic in D&D just doesn't work if you think about it logically and apply the realities of the world to the rules.

Wizards and sorcerers are therefore doomed.

I think you are drunk.

If so, cheers!

According to Jack Chick, you can use the PHB to summon demons, so wizards aren't that doomed

Or maybe you just don't know the words....

Ah yes the Natural Selection poster child. What is he doing now? I don't think I've heard anything about him since the early nineties.

And another thing, I believe in a god, why can't I summon Celestial Monkeys to fling celestial monkey-poo at the unbelievers?

The real world sucketh.

Everybody was flung-poo fighting
Those apes were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky Monkey men from funky Monkeytown
They were pooping them up and they were pooping them down
It's an ancient Celestial art mastering flung-poo and fart
From a spray into a slip, and flinging from the hip

Everybody was flung-poo fighting
Those apes were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

Dude, do you expect magic to be logical compared to the real world

Actually, there is an official WITCH in USA, can't remember what state it was. She has a document which gives her the title *Witch* because she does some witch-druid like stuff with potions, herbs etc.. She is probably from California.

Magic exist dude! xD xD xD xD xD

Wizards and sorceres are therefore not doomed
