THE LAW(S) OF ASSOCIATION

[beavis]

Damn I've been wasting money buying weed. All I had to do is roll an empty paper and smoke that. Law of similarity. I could keep getting high months later from the same fake joint. Law of contagion. []

Well . . . um . . . yeah . . . if you were a MAGICIAN, you could.

I'm aware of two Laws of Association.  There is the Law of Similarity:  Any object, idea, or person that remindes you of, or is associated with, another particular phenomenon or entity, shares in that entity's power, and may be used as if it were the entity itself.  (So, you don't need the sacrificial virgin after all, her panties will do.)

Another Law of Association, The Law of Contagion, states that things continue to interact long after they've been separated.  

These sublaws often work together, and near every magical "spell" incorporates the Law(s) of Association.
