The Problem With Magic Spells

If it results in spells, it should be called spellmanship, spellufacture, or spellification.

A Good Way to Prevent Littering

Put up an equestrian statue in the town square that has hidden in its jewel teeth a spell to make people not want to litter.

Diversity and Innovation

I don't see why subjects, objects, and verbs have to agree all the time. Can't disagreement often lead to sounder conclusions?

Practicality in Philosophy

Impractical, irresponsible, unmoored from reality. Such were the criticisms of philosophy in those days that inspired countless practitioners to advocate for the field as well as their own philosophies in particular. One among them, however, restrained himself from reacting to the jeers in any shallow way. He instead considered how best to prove how his mental exercises might be applied to everyday matters.
After he conquered the world, no one denied the validity of his theories. The public consigned all other philosophers to obscurity if not early graves, and his intellectual heirs strove against one another when, for all that he had reached the heights of human knowledge, he died.
After centuries of that, one ambitious philosopher pondered an idea that promised to bring about a revolution in thinking: "Maybe it wasn't his philosophy that allowed him to conquer the world. He was like level 250 or something, after all."

That Old Jeweled-Teeth Wheeze

Of course a statue with jewels for teeth is valuable, but is there more to it? Is each tooth a different jewel that has a different magical effect? Does tapping the teeth in the right order allow you to fix time? Do the names of the jewels spell out a message? Yes. All of that and more.

Fashion Is the Answer

Old: Counting down
Bold: Statues with jewels for teeth
