The Composition is built around the Key of D Minor. In addition there are two cascading progressions that form the core of the somg. the two progressions are paired with each other (in Paraelle, or more accurrately in Tandem) such that the first chord of the first progression is paried with the first chord of the second progression. The First progression only explores the Key of D/D min the second progression follows a range of notes all up down the scale but ones that complement the paired Chord from the first progression. The idea behind this is Cantrips are small spells that are generally the result of rigerous practice such that they are 2nd nature, in card games such as mtg they are spell cards that are invoked yet let you draw another card to replace them (a very important mechanic in a card game) Again the cacading progression in this song reflects the basic idea of a small incantaion (the 2ns Chord in the Chord pairings just described) which results from little to no obvious effort from the 1st Chording in the pairing--Key of D in all of variations, well this is basis of the idea behind the composition. Most major gaming systems that have some sort magic based "Subsystem" (D&D, MTG, etc.) have some form of Cantrip. Historically, The idea of Cantrips are thought to be of Celtic origin and may even be the "Trick" in the idea of Trick or Treat....
