Law is some kind of magic, though. Consider the case where I want to cast the "Lawyer" protection spell.
If I chant "I am invoking my right to remain silent. I want to contact my attorney" then the police must stop questioning me and provide me one [1]. The spell worked.
If I chant "This is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog ’cause this is not what’s up" then my spell is not strong enough and the police can interrogate me as they see fit [2].
And then there's the time where a wizard had to interpret a comma [3].
