that these legends are true, how could stories have come about of, for example, humans destroying

dragons, when anybody attacking a dragon with a sword would be fried by a spell before he could do any

damage? Based on this theory Hawkins concludes that there must be people immune to magic. And if they

existed then, they must exist now. Hawkins embarks on a worldwide search for magically immune people.
