That certainly doesn't square away with just how immenantly "possible" it is for so many people day in and day out to meet and exceed their own expectations of themselves sans some magic well. I mean, if we limited this just to you (something you couldn't seem to bring yourself to do) then it still looks like an example of that common mis-appraisal of our own abilities...and the narrative that follows certainly establishes that this was the case.
You finger god for getting you through the rough times - but others don;t seem to have required it, and you can't produce this thing you're fingering in the first place (meanwhile what you can produce is your promise, your sense of duty, your, your, your your...). Not only this, you then draw some batshit conclusions about your new magical abilities as compared to others who haven't had this spell cast upon them. A person really has to wedge their head up their own ass in a massive way to continue peddling this - all the way denigrating and devaluing all the experiences and triumphs of others..without even considering them. A casual dismissal of reality that's difficult to even fathom.
Tell me drich, do you imagine that marathon runners are fueled by prayer and mana?
