This is a question for any Mage type character.
Is magic in the Flipside world intelligent?
I ask because Maytag seems to have no trouble retrieving just the right item from her pouch of infinite accessibility. One of the fantasy authors I had read long ago, Lawrence Watt-Evans, wrote about quartermasters for armies that spent time practicing packing bag of holding so they would have the items their regiment, platoon, etc. would need first since last items in were first items out. The discussion of practical magic has always been a lot of fun for me in fantasy, see Terry Practchet and the Discworld, and I would like to know if magic in this Universe responds to the wielder's (or user's) desire or if it is a power like electricity with no intelligence or sapience.
