Losing my magic wasn't just losing part of me, it was losing the only connection I had to my mother too. I'm a half-genie. My mother was a genie, my father was human. I never knew either of them... But I always felt like even though I lived in the human world, that I had some connection to the genie world. Losing my magic was tough. I felt isolated and alone... But I had my friends there to help me, to cheer me up, to encourage me and train me not to rely on magic as much as I had."
