      It’s appropriate since they believe that words are magic and as long as they say the right words, the “spell” will be cast and they will become immune to laws.

      That’s probably the most sane part about It.

      I think they are saying that those Words where chosen specifically because they can subconsciously affect the words users perceptions.

      Not magic nor a conspiracy but there is psychological truth that different words with identical meaning can effect us differently.

        No, they mean literal magic. I started reading the book, and they’re talking about “Dark Magicians” on the first page.

          For the simple minded its understandable how anyone with psychological knowledge could be confused with magicians.

          Just look at fortune tellers and the likes.

          Its a perversion of the truth that any sufficiently advanced enough science can only be interpreted as magic. For some, common knowledge seems sufficient enough.

            Sovcits are true believers in the magic. Anyone smart enough to do as you are suggesting is stealing from the true believers.
