   Reminds me of the story I'll remember the name of right after clicking   
   "send", set on a planet settled by a wealthy man who wanted to create   
   a permanent SCA encampment, who accidentally selected his settlers for   
   latent genes for magic.   
      
   What the quote reminded me of was that some kinds of magicians could   
   fly, but witches could only levitate objects -- so they rode brooms.

   If this were a YASID, I'd add that the badge of a monk was a little   
   yellow screwdriver; that should be a dead giveaway.
