Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] Why did magic go away?

---

Teosofical texts suggests, that when God created this planet, He created school for us "Baby Spirits". And in this school are 7 basic subjects of study. What happened is, that we humans switced lessons from "Astral Abilities" to "Practical Intelligence", and so, as a side-issue, Magic Went Away.
Of course, this is merely MY interpretation of some classical texts by HB and others

[edit] Focus

The focus of this article isn't very clear. Is it about the novel The Magic Goes Away? Or about the theme "magic as a nonrenewable resource"? IMHO it should focus on the novel, with the other stories cited as background. We might have another article about the fictional universe and themes.

Re characters, I'm fairly sure Aran from "Glass Dagger" appears nowhere in the novel. Does anyone have the name of the wizard who went to Australia? He isn't mentioned, and should be.

The goo has a nucleus, so it isn't a bacterium (which is prokaryotic). An amoeba, I think.
