I like the old description of spells because they're all basically flim flams. Fireball, for example, is just lighting some bat guano on fire and hurling it.
Absolutely. It's tragic that it was universally agreed that it's silly to track casting components on wizards. I mean, it makes perfect sense and I agree. But it's incredible and evocative to imagine your wizard using fur and a glass rod to generate static electricity to cast lightning bolt.

Nope. It's original art; link in the description.
