Cory, I could have written that myself, thanks

After listening to Pete's description of having another create something, for example a magician, I started doing RI a bit differently, using archetypes. A personal archetype I hold onto is The Writer. Another one might be profitably RI'd as The Illuminati, etc., etc. I believe Carl Jung had a whole list of archetypes.
I also have people I know create something and I find that does the job too.
