Poof (or Proof?)

"Our mythologies have a long radition of magic words that provide insight and godlike powers. To this day, children still shout 'abracadabra' in hopes of creating something out of nothing. Of course, we've all forgotten that this word is not a toy; it has roots in ancient Aramaic mysticism - Avrah KaDabra - meaning 'I create as I speak.'" -a exerpt from The Lost Symbol (a good read if you're familiar with the D.C. area!).
