I think I see where you're going with this.

Much like in medieval times, some people though that wizards would take a long process of steps, (like step 1, boil some shit, step 2, slit your wrists...) and the outcome would be the death of a king.

But you mean to say, doing a magical activity would require piecing together steps or parts of magic?

I approve of the first post.
