 Josh believes himself to be of great magical ability, akin to that of a dark magician or a warlock. Of course, while magic's existence outside of Casper, Wyoming is much debated, Josh has consistently reaffirmed that he is capable of dank acts of magic.
-===== Origin =====
+===== Origin and history =====
 Ever since before the recorded days of the green-walled Basement Age, Josh has claimed that he has some form of spiritual connection. As early as the end of [[sagas:The Gothickingcobra52 Saga]], Josh would upload videos of himself creating Chi Balls between his hands - a parlor trick that would continue to be in his playbook for years to come.
+Josh would continue to expand his magical repertoire over the years, as he would continue add more spells to his arsenal and show off his ever-gaining magical prowess.
+===== Josh and various branches of magic =====
+While Josh claims to specialize as a weather magician whose weather specialty is conjuring storms, Josh claims to be capable of numerous branches of magic.
+==== Communicating with the dead ====
+^{{:beliefs:meditation.png?400|}}|
+|//Josh attempting to commune with the spirits//|
+By means of using Ouija boards, EVPing, and meditation, Josh claims to capable of "communing with the spirits" and speaking with various dead people. Most notably, Josh claims that his [[places:615 south center street|first apartment]] was haunted by its previous occupant(His only true evidence being that his toilet seat fell down when nobody touched it), and would sometimes commune with said spirit - A gentleman by the name of Winston.
+==== Chi Balls ====
+^{{:beliefs:chi_ball.png?400|}}|
+|//only known instance of Josh conjuring a Chi Ball, circa gothickingcobra52 saga//|
+Perhaps the most long-lasting and prolific of Josh's skills have to do with the conjuration of what he calls "Chi Balls" - projections of pure energy similar to seen on popular TV series //Dragon Ball Z//. They do not really seem capable of doing anything. Josh can conjure these at will and on stream, although his cameras are always just too trash to actually pick them up.
+==== Wands ====
+As a master wand craftsman, Josh is capable of creating magical conduits by means of combining random sticks, copper wire, leather strips, some of his own hair, and various kinds of spraypaint. Josh does not attempt to make the claim that his wands come pre-loaded with magic, but does say with absolute certainty that as the wandmaker, he is immune to any attacks from them.
+In some cases, Josh will also use crystals and preserved insects to further fine-tune the magical output of the user - His own personal wand has a green gemstone on the base of the handle, and his ceremonial crystal staff has a quartz chunk affixed to the end to further strengthen his already potent magic to an unknown degree.
