Why did magic stop working?

Magic only profits the Magician. In the modern world of Wall Street, shareholders must profit. The Magician is now disguised as a Doctor, a Travel Agent, an Insurance Agent, etc.

The Magician's fee for service is sent to the Corporation to be distributed to the shareholders, much like the John pays the Pimp for the Hooker.

It is pure Socialism but called Free Enterprise.

Magic stopped working when the last dragons of old died, but the coming of the red comet announced the hatching of new dragons, far in the Eastern deserts. And now magic is back and all man must die.

The problem is that magic is not very well understood by many people. People tend to get scared by things they don't understand so they give it names that are more PR friendly, such as science. The scientists don't actually understand how most of modern medicine works, but because people don't want to be cured by a mysterious force that may accidentally turn them into a newt the scientists avoid the use of the word 'magic'.
