This last moon or so I've been speaking to several people about magic and the ability to use magic. Now I understand we all come from varying stars - worlds, realms, whichever you prefer - and the laws governing such arts may differ.

Thus I find myself curious about how others are able to cast their spells. I certainly wouldn't mind an exchange of knowledge on the topic. In fact, I've already offered to conduct some lessons to some individuals here as an experiment, of sorts. I, myself, am no great mage but I am capable enough, I should hope.

[ Magic has always been a sort of sour subject to him, but knowledge is knowledge. ]

Where I come from magick was obtained one of two ways; either being born with the gift, or using a crystal to mimic the ability. There were those who had their magicks awakened at a later time... [ A slight pause. ] ... but this is no longer the case.

So aether are on other stars, too…

Tell me, have there been accounts of consuming too much aether?

I haven’t considered there being more than one “kind” of aether… But I have witness those who were exposed to an over saturated amount in the air be consumed by it and… turn into something completely different.

Those born with magicks didn’t seem to be affected by it, though.

You think we could teach each other that sort of thing? I guess with me, my abilities are kind of unique back home that I'm not so sure how easily it might be something I could teach here. As far as what sort of 'magic' I can do. That and the others aren't here to help with that either.

What sort of things could you teach with your magic?
historiology: (Walk alone)

[personal profile] historiology 2023-11-04 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Invisible? I could see that being useful. If one needs to get somewhere without drawing attention for some reason. I haven't heard of aether before but if it is something we can still figure using here that might be handy.

[Sorey has never been necessarily one to use magic so much, beyond tapping into the abilities of the seraph when they armatize together in battle in making use of their elemental attacks. But still, this was something to consider at least.]
historiology: (For the world)

[personal profile] historiology 2023-11-04 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that might work then. Still, here. I hadn't considered it, being in a whole new world and all, things like that.

[Whether Malevolence might also be an issue here. Not that he is sure he could do much if anything about that here, without Lailah. Without the other seraphim he has pacts with. But even so. At the least, he is curious to maybe try learn more about this magic. It might be useful.]

But I'd be curious to at least give it a go?

My ability to cast spells came late to me, compared to others. Some people are born with the ability; I guess you could say I was too, but I was unaware of this until I was a girl half-grown.

[Is twelve, thirteen half-grown? Honestly, in medieval times, probably. The Duchy was already discussing her marriage prospects at that age.]

It came to be second nature to call upon my power's source, comparable to having a conversation with it and agreeing to do what was needed--no, excuse me, demanded of us.

I had no choice back then. I had to do as I was told with my abilities or else the consequences would be dire.

Things have changed over the years since then, but I can't say it didn't sour things for me.

Yes. Unfortunately, it is a concept known to many all too well, regardless of what star they hail from. I would like to be surprised to hear someone who is unfamiliar with it, at least once in my life.

It... it is not mine, to be quite honest about it. I am just the carrier. If she decides to no longer obey me, then there is very little I can do about it.

[ Interesting. That's very interesting, isn't it? ]

Energy from around you, but not from within?

I don't know that I would call what we do magic, so I was curious what you meant.
cursedwords: (Smile)

[personal profile] cursedwords 2023-11-09 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't call it magic, it's sorcerer techniques for jujutsu sorcerers, but I could see how people would think they were like magic. There's all kinds of techniques, although most people can just manage one major technique.

There's some things any sorcerer can do, and some people don't even have techniques, they can just see cursed spirits.
