I'm sure you can do crazy stuff with pointers

but the basic stuff is like... super intuitive?

Internet convinced me they were some kind of ancient black magic

is literally a pointer. It points to a place.

The place in which something is.

So you can modify things out of the scope as long as you have a valid pointer

because pointers points to memory

you pass a pointer, create some new data, and put it on the place of the pointer

What's the deal?
