Title: Arcane Balance
Post by: -Alex- on July 14, 2005, 01:27:46
Just wondering about something here, I have heard about a sort of "Arcane Balance" to the universe. From what I have heard it is like a great equalizer. (i.e. You call rain to your location causing drought or a dry spell elsewhere) Just looking for ideas, thoughts, and opinions on this.

(I personally think it is true, but not to that extreme.)

I have not heard it called this, but this does make sense.  If you are not careful where you called the rain from, you could cause a drought or dry spell.  You could, however, always be specific.

I know someone that moved a particularly bad storm away from their local airport, as a friend was due to land that day.  But they didn't worry about where they moved the storm to.  Consequently, the storm happened to move to where they interfered with the flight being able to take off from the original airport!  The flight was delayed, etc, etc.

When you do this kind of work, you need to take responsibility for what you do.  You can't go changing the weather (for instance) and not expect that it is going to have a noticeable effect somewhere else.

What is that saying "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."  I'm not sure that it is quite as extreme as this saying makes out, however I do know that we take a lot of responsibility on our shoulders when we take on such work.
