Magnifying Glass

Capable of harnessing the power of the sun to destroy insects, a magnifying glass can also be used to make small things look bigger. Such acts of sorcery are possible due to the object's convex lens, which is capable of bending light to its whim. This bending of light, known as refraction, results in the appearance of an enlarged image when viewed through the lens, making the object look closer or bigger than it actually is. Placing one magnifying glass over a reversed magnifying glass is known to have fractured the fabric of space-time on at least twelve occasions.
