I had always loved the Owens family and I felt there was so much more to write about them. But rather than go forward in time, I was more interested in the family's past. Who were the aunts we meet in Practical Magic when they were young? And how did the family's past affect the next generation? These were the question I started with, and Jet and Frances filled in the rest. Magic's Comprehensive Rules [59] [60] aim to "stabilize the rules" with errata and outline "special-case rulings". [61] In April 1994, Wizards of the Coast made "the first attempt to formalize and simplify Magic rules" with the Revised Edition card set. [61] This codification of rules streamlined many cards, introduced or clarified many terms, removed "the need for multiple artifact types" and "introduced the tap symbol". [61] It also introduced the system of timing that is in similar form still used in the game today: LIFO ("last in, first out"), instead of spells being resolved simultaneously as they were in earlier editions. Spells were now announced in 'batches'. [52] However, over the next year it became clear to Wizards of the Coast that the game needed a more detailed rulebook. This led to the development of the Comprehensive Rules which were introduced in mid-1995 with the Fourth Edition card set. [61] Vincent’s dog, Harry, often acts as his accomplice.

As they grow into adulthood, they must wrestle with the dilemma of embracing their identity and keeping love at bay, or risking it all for the magic and fire that love can bring? And what will that risk entail? It isn't until Jet's birthday that tragedy strikes, claiming the lives of his parents and Levi. Unable to process this and the revelation that their family is nearly broke, Vincent begins to spiral out of control; confiding in his room, hooking up with various women, and visiting the bars more often. At his parents' funeral, Vincent finally reunites with April, though he is drunk. He says hello to her infant daughter, Regina, unaware that she is also his child. I love the idea that witches have familiars, animals they are so close to that they understand each other completely. Yes, my great German shepherd, Houdini, was my familiar. I miss him every day.

Reading an Alice Hoffman book is like falling into a deep dream where senses are heightened and love reigns supreme. The Rules of Magic is no exception.” Like Sally and Gillian, Frances and Jet appear to be very different. One is daring and is the first to drink Courage Tea; the other is more retiring, sweeter and kinder. But when it comes down to it, in times of trouble, they are very much the same, putting those they love first. I always think that every character I write is nothing like me, yet contains a spark that is similar. Often, I write about people I wish I could be more like, and when it comes to the Owens family I certainly admire their strength when it comes to facing fate, and being brave enough to try to change it. In 2019, HBO Max was reportedly developing a prequel series based on Hoffman’s book The Laws of Magic. The series reportedly focused on the Owens family siblings. The show was set in 1960s New York. It would have followed Jet, Franny, and Vincent Owen as they discovered their witch heritage. However, the show was never produced, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in management at HBO Max. Is Practical Magic 2 Happening? It is a formal invitation, Susanna said.

These are known as "keyword" abilities, and consist of a word or phrase whose meaning is defined by the rules. Keyword abilities are usually given reminder text in the set in which they are introduced. There are over forty such abilities. In most cases, multiple instances of the same keyword on an object have no additional effect. Keywords can be classified into two different types: Evergreen or Mechanics. [39] [40] Evergreen keywords "can appear in absolutely any set, since its gameplay effects and flavor are flexible and generic enough to fit anywhere. Effects like trample, flying, deathtouch, first strike and haste are examples of this". [41] Abilities classified as Mechanics are rotated in and out of the game as various expansions are released. [42] [43] [44] Game Rant highlighted that "most planes have some unique rules that are only relevant on cards from specific sets" and that "new mechanics are constantly added to shake things up and give the players new tools to work with".

Their mother Susanna knows that her children are different—headstrong Franny can talk to birds, beautiful Jet can read people's thoughts, and charismatic Vincent has been charming people to him since birth, and he uses that to his advantage. Besides his magical charm, he also can see bits of the future, with this ability growing over time after his time with Aunt Isabelle.
