I like this comment because it is full of sentence structures I can follow about topics I know nothing about. I write a lot of thaumobabble and I try to make it sound roughly like this, except about magic.

"Thaumobabble"? That's a nice coinage.

Where can I read some of your best thaumobabble ? In addition to the Luminosity books, I mean; I'd read those.

I do enjoy me some fine vintage thaumobabble.

My thaumobabble is mostly in Elcenia. If you're only looking for thaumobabble samples and don't have any interest in the story, you might want to skip around to look at mentions of the name "Kaylo", because he does it a lot.

No no, I do want to read the story ! The thaumobabble is just icing on the cake. It's also a fun word to say. Thaumobabble.
