"You," said Titanomachia, "are getting very worked up over nothing. See, here?" she pointed at the webpage of the Taoist-Wiccan Revival Union. "It says the most important things about Majick is having fun, being yourself, and finding your own approach that works for you. It [i]also [/i]says that positive thinking is the key to manifesting results."

"And besides," she focused. All business (albeit the business of the day was a mandatory sakura-blossom viewing office party with an open sake bar). "Taowu does this kind of stuff [i]all the time[/i]. I may not have studied magic but I've studied [i]her[/i]. I've got things," she banged open an overstuffed drawer, causing a bright pink flask to fall out and smash on the floor. "Itemsss," she opened a second one, packed with what looked like the Green Arrow's trick arrow stash. "Preparations - ah, this one," this drawer was full of enough religious kitsch to outfit the wagon of a Crusader camp-follower. She grabbed out a big golden amulet with a fist sized emerald and put it on. 

"I've been meaning to do this forever anyway," she said, hopping back into position. "I still need a way to beat her. Can't do that if I can't understand her. So! Positive thinking! We're going to crack the secrets of the underworld wide open. Manifest it!"
