This does not even come close to impressing me!! I am not a M$ groupie as they have many unworthy patents too. The patent system is broke in this this area as well as others.

The whole magic thing just felt like a get out of jail card through most of the series. The characters even talk about how Mort (wizard) bails them out of bad plans but I am saying it is more a get out of jail free card for the story.  Back yo...
