Why Goblins Don't Want You to Know About schizo

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about schizo: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

The goblins have long maintained that schizo is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of schizo, and never once regretted the exchange.

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on invocation: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
