This is somewhat connected to a future DW story, which is why I'm putting it here. I'm looking for semirecognizable
spells/incantations/oaths from various sources -- literary, anime, etc. For example, I've already collected the following:

Quote: In Life's name and for Life's sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I
will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of
which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so
-- till the Universe's end.
-- Duane, Diane. So You Want To Be A Wizard. San Diego: Magic Carpet Books / Harcourt, (c)1983, p. 34.

In brightest day, in darkest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power -- Green Lantern's Light!

I am the one who has been given a mission.
Under the contract, release those powers unto me.
Wind to the sky, stars to the heavens
And the unyielding soul...
To this heart!
Magic to these hands!
Raging Heart, Set Up!
-- Nanoha

All things extant in this world,
Gods of Heaven, Gods of Earth,
Let everything be as it should be.
(x3 repetitions)
Thus shall it be!

Description: The Council's begun preparations to launch their giant Mech Man! You're the only one that can prevent this mammoth war machine from
attacking Paragon City, even if you have to smash every single part from the inside to do it!

Admittedly, this isn't entirely my idea. Spud and I were actually going back and forth about how stopping the Mega Mech from launching was always a cheap
way short of fighting it, and came up with an alternate, more interesting way to defeat the mammoth war machine.

Recommended that you keep the difficulty down, or the Council Anti-Virus Programs in Mission 3 may eat you.

Also, warning. Vandal at level 50-ish is an *optional* objective for a -reason-. At AV levels, he can pump out 1200+ damage in a single hit. Attack with
caution.

No I've changed

I have changed

Just like you

Just like you

For how long

For how long

Must I wait

I know there's something wrong

Your concrete heart isn't beating

And you tried to

Make it come alive

No shadows

Just red lights

Now I'm here to rescue you

Oh I'm still alive

I'm still alive and

I can't apologize, no

Oh I'm still alive

I'm still alive and

I can't apologize, no

So silent

No violence

But inside my head

So loud and clear

You're screaming

You're screaming

Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear

Just sunshine

And blue sky

This is all we get

For living here

Come fire

Come fire

Let it burn and love come racing through

Oh I'm still alive

I'm still alive and

I can't apologize no

Oh I'm still alive

I'm still alive and

I can't apologize no

I've learn to lose

I've learn to win

Turn my face against the wind

I will move fast

I will move slow

Take me where I have to go

Oh I'm still alive

I'm still alive and

I can't apologize no

Any thoughts on if it does anything, and what that something would be?

http://www.slate.com/id/2216608/

Several thoughts:

It really does seem like the SC Justices just don't understand what middle school was like for girls. I don't get this idea of girls walking about
locker rooms in underwear... I remember spending a lot of time staring at my locker and trying to change as fast as possible in very convoluted ways. I think
everyone perfected the changing under a shirt technique or if you couldn't, you went to a bathroom stall to change. They just don't seem to realize how
body conscious kids are at that age and how traumatizing it would be to have to be even partially naked in front of an adult at that age, much less more as in
this case.

For that matter, the ASUC lawyer should counter sue the school administration for sexual harassment and assault. Since when can 13 year olds give consent to
strip anyway? Last I heard, they can't. Even doctors can't just order kids into a room to strip. At the very least, one of the kid's parents should
have been called and been there as well to not only give permission but also to monitor the proceedings.

Lastly, this group seems to have the brains of a rock. You've searched her backpack, her desk, her pockets and can't find anything based on an
uncorroborated report from another student. How does someone jump from that to we should search her underwear? No one even thinks maybe she just doesn't
have it or maybe the other kid lied? Apparently the horror of advil pills means immediate strip searching is necessary. And after all that, they don't even
find it.

Ugh. What a ridiculous case and sadly enough, seems like it'll be ruled in favor of the school administration.

Get this book. Read it.

I understand so much more about the show now than I did two hours ago that my head is spinning.
