It’s way different for each wizard, and it’s why even though soulgazes and third sight can be used as evidence in, for example, warlock trials, there is also room for argument and interpretation–that’s how Ebenezar defended Dresden, for example.

But things like Beatnicks, The Summer of Love, Bell Bottom pants, Sputnik, Man on the Moon, The Challenger Explosion, Reaganomics, Apartheid, Grunge Music, AIDS, Smart Phones, all continue in the same general trends.
