 | Changing something into something else the easy way (without much effort and
painlessly, of course) is an old dream of everybody. |

to meditate about the possible connections between the observation that the seemingly most unchangeable and common
things - stones - could in fact be turned into something beautiful, useful and rare, and the evolution of believes in
a "changed state of being after death" in religion. |

raise them: |

 | Well, a working version of a
transmogrifier has not been invented yet. So if you really want to change yourself into a person who knows about
defects in crystals, you must still do it the hard way! |
