you are a cop. you're also magical. the two are not unrelated: while wizards are not particularly common, someone's got to make sure that the arm of the law extends also to the supernatural, and that's where you (and your partner?!) come in. whether it's chasing down rogue wizards, making peace between supernatural entities, or interrogating ghosts that have witnessed crime, getting coffee or a pint at the pub after hours, you have your hands full.
just don't make too many wand jokes, keep property damage to a minimum, and don't forget to do the paperwork at the end of the day.

Creative idea, but the power you'd need for that would require a god, and unless you wanna go around calling up ol' One-Eye or his ilk, that means it's out of the question. [ But this was where Bob was a scaredy cat; he wanted nothing to do with the higher powers, other than when it involved getting information. And even then, that risked getting him killed. ]
There is oooone teensy possible option, however. It'll cost you a date, should you succeed. [ At which, Bob innocently took his drink up again and took a sip. ]
