The Realities of Magic
With Dr. Apples: The Eye, I aimed to show magic in a realistic light. Spells and potions are often romanticized, but what about when they fail? What about the cost of wielding such power? This story is a peek behind the curtain, exploring the risks and unintended consequences of magic. In Dr. Apples' case, the experience is intense and eye-opening—literally and figuratively. For the audience, I hope it provides a fresh perspective on the complexities of magic and the burden it can carry.
