I was thinking more of improvisation within a framework. Since it is us creating our experience, we can only create what we can imagine, and we can only imagine variations of what we have already experienced. Also we cannot infringe on the free will of others, so there are boundaries there as well. We set our desires and follow them with intent and the Universe responds through this framework of belief we have each built and through the socially constructed nature of our reality. So it is a sort of chaos, but one in which all the elements are in a state of dynamic balance. The results for the same calling can be wildly different depending on the circumstances of the calling (which is why ritual can be important, in order to recreate the same set of circumstances as best as possible).
This kinda leads me to something else I wanted to talk about in this thread: what exactly is this magic stuff we're talking about? To me magic is the art of living, It is the dance through that dynamic balance I mentioned in the last paragraph. Magic comes hand in hand with expanded awareness, as you become aware of the various energies and catalyst and other inputs available to you, you can put more thought into how you will use or integrate them. It is very much something that happens in the moment without premeditation, or at least that's my current thinking.
