Magicians can conjure up anything, so why would any of them be poor? 2. Hey, if they can do that, why would any muggles be poor either? Or have diseases? 3. Hm... Why are so many people in the real world poor/hungry/sick, when we could clothe/house/feed/cure them if we wanted to? 4. This train of thought is making me uncomfortable, so I'm going to stop worrying about it and get back to the story. I think it goes something like this:
