Specifics

Specific examples and quotes of technique

"A technique... such as a technology. A simple and efficient technique to spread the magic. The word incantation comes from Late Latin. It is the art of enchanting. Incantare is to bewitch, to cast or fix a spell upon. Upon whom?
The viewer ― by way of technique, or technology. Obviously that says nothing of the particular technique or technology. It does not necessarily incriminate them. A hammer can be used to build a house, or to smash a window. It’s a tool. The same goes for various techniques and technologies, with... some exceptions."
