“Ow!” Alex said as he stepped back and rubbed his forehead before he said, “Geez, I’m getting the feeling you have something against me. I only ask because this magic thing is all new to me. Not all of us come from a family that explains magic. Hell, I found out about magic not too long ago.” Alex sighed and closed his eyes to concentrate once again.  [i]He does have a good point. If I’m the only one t hear the humming, then that means this is where the magic is coming from. Like an electrical current[/i] Alex thought.

In Alex’s mind he saw telephone poles all connected by electrical wires. He was able to go into the wires and see what looked like electricity running through the wires.  [i]Not electricity. Magic![/i] He saw the magical currents running back and forth through the wires. He held out his hand and waited. For a few seconds nothing happened. [i]I can see where the magic is coming from, so why can’t I use it?[/i] Alex thought. M[i]aybe, it’s not as simple as finding the magic, but pulling it out to use it?[/i] In Alex’s mind he saw his hand reach out to the wires. As his hand got closer, the 
magic slowly flowed out of the fires and into his hand.

Alex opened his eyes to discover a sphere of magic in the palm of his hand. it was the size of a golf ball. The magic in his eyes looked almost electric. Like he had pulled it right out of an electrical wire. The small sphere soon pulsed then disappeared. Alex fell to one knee like all the energy was zapped from his body. 

“Well, guess I found the magic,” Alex laughed.
