## What it is
magick.css is a minimalistic, mostly classless CSS framework in a single file that gives HTML documents an elegant, playfully magical look inspired by LaTeX and old-school TTRPG rulebooks. It requires no JavaScript, works across devices, and is available via CDN, npm, or as an Obsidian.md theme port.

## Use cases
- style a plain HTML page without writing CSS or classes
- give a blog or documentation site a LaTeX-like readable look
- add a playful wizard/TTRPG aesthetic to a website
- build a responsive site with zero JavaScript
- theme Obsidian.md notes with a magical style
- quickly prototype content-focused pages with a single stylesheet

## When to choose
- you want simple, readable styling for mostly text-based HTML content
- you prefer classless CSS that works with semantic HTML5
- you want a single-file, dependency-light stylesheet
- you like brutalist, LaTeX, or old-school rulebook aesthetics

## When to avoid
- you need a component library with utility classes or design tokens
- you're building a complex app UI with custom theming requirements
- you need a framework with grid/layout systems or dark-mode toggles built in
