Ah, the shotgun nailer. I guess the repairo charm hasn’t been invented yet. If it had, Wiz could’ve just avoided all this and made the old deck like new. But, of course, where’s the fun in that?
Almost all magical descriptions of iron say that it is largely impervious to magic. (Pliny the Elder (23–79 CE) recommends driving iron coffin nails to your doorjamb to repel malicious spirits, and using iron in general as a counter against magic.)* That would include magical aiming of nails. Sorry, Wiz, you get an F for today’s lesson on magical properties.

Probably not safe to send on that deck.

Nailed it?

There are store nails. And there are hand-forged nails. What are these nails? And will they hold up in the light of day? And if so, for how long?

I wonder how wizardry works when they don’t do it themselves? Performing magic by proxy?

Using a shotgun style is not the best for accuracy in nailing nails.

I’d move inside, Blanche. Just to keep from getting nailed down.

You may want to live somewhere else until Wiz “finishes” his project!

What was holding it together before the nails? Not that they are doing much in that regard anyway.

Conjured up nails have dubious quality and holding power.

If I were you Blanch, I would not stand on that deck.

Next he will make dovetail joints using real doves he pulls from a hat.

The Wiz is not so great. I can match that level of inaccuracy without using magic.
