Oh, the connection between magic and mathematics is well known. @cstross has written a fair bit about events involving applied computational demonology, for example.
If there really is no comment syntax for magic spells, that's unfortunate. It means practitioners probably end up scrawling their notes to themselves as marginalia, and I don't know if the magic could leak across from the main spell or what undesirable side-effects that might have.

It's time I can return to work coming Monday.
I'm #hacking too much which gives the #SideEffect of #smoking too much.
+sigh+#SelfControl is NOT my strong side.

Why #Israeli #Soldiers #Rape, #Torture, and #Massacre.
Instilling #fear in the #citizens of #Gaza is not a #sideeffect of the #IDF's #brutal #violations of #humanrights. It is their #strategy. "these #practices are intended to #punish #Palestinians for #resisting #occupation and seek to #destroy them #individually and #collectively."

A change of season.
Not change to summer from spring,
Change that makes it burn.#haiku #poem #ShortPoem #SmallPoem #climate #ClimateChange
Author Notes (nerdy trivia for programmers):
As someone once observed, there are two ways you can change your socks: you can put on a new pair, or you can monogram them. I learned this because Bernie Greenberg said it in a tutorial on the lisp programming language, several decades ago, when I was at MIT, though I don't know if it was original to him. But I've always liked that set of mnemonics for the two kinds of change, and they were part of the inspiration for this haiku.
The first kind of change (referenced in the middle line of the poem, line 1 if you 0-index the lines) is variable assignment, without side effect:
1> (setq *season* *summer*)
The second kind of change (referenced in the final line of the poem, line 2 if 0-indexed) is mutation by side-effect to an object:
2> (incf (average-temperature *summer*) enough-to-make-it-burn)
- - - - -
For others not familiar with lisp, you'd probably expect something more akin to this pseudocode for the corresponding examples above:
1> season := summer
2> season.average_temperature += enough_to_make_it_burn

CW: Pet death (not mine) - flea treatment
A fellow #cat owner I follow lost one of her cats to a reaction to Nexguard, a #flea #treatment, a rare #SideEffect due to a #gene #mutation. Both her #cats, sisters, became #sick and one is being treated.
We’ve used Bravecto and been fine, but had no idea.
