    When the pole failed to appear

    What a weird way to say “when the city dropped the ball and failed to install proper safety lighting.” The pole “failing to appear” makes it sound like it was just supposed to be conjured out of the ether, all by itself.

      Most of city administration is low level magic, they just don’t talk about it much. How do they fit thousands of trash cans worth of trash into one truck? Teleportation, straight to the slums of Ghana. You really think bridges, huge chunks of concrete and steel, just balance naturally like that without collapsing? Levitation. All the city clerk’s pens glow when ratepayers are near.
