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.

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.

Tell me, have there been accounts of consuming too much aether?
no subject
If it is simply taking in an outside source of aether, the burden may become too much for someone - though that limit may well be different for everyone. Then there is the matter of what kind of aether to consider as well.
no subject
Those born with magicks didn’t seem to be affected by it, though.
no subject
Aether, in its natural state, does not not possess any unique qualities. However, it be affected by the elements. That's when we get different kinds of aether. Lightning-aspected would create levin. Ice-aspected, frost. Fire-aspected, flame. So on and so forth.
On my star, these all need to be in balance with one another. Should one type of aether fall out of alignment, then there are consequences. The primary example of it would be I have seen the stagnation that occurs when a star bears too much Light.
Though it hardly surprises me that those that are exposed to an oversaturated amount of aether would be transformed by it. Of course I have seen this through Dynamis as well but that's neither here nor there.

Adding a warning for spoilers, just in case!

What sort of things could you teach with your magic?
no subject
[ So an object is still required. ]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
Where I come from it is possible to draw upon the ambient aether and use it.
no subject
[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?

[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.

Things have changed over the years since then, but I can't say it didn't sour things for me.
no subject
However, need I remind you that it is your power. Your ability. It is as much a part of you as any of your other features. To be bitter about it is to also be bitter with yourself.
no subject
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.

What's a afflatu sexarch ?
no subject
However -
Clearly you are reading it wrong.
no subject
I don't know what fishing has to do with reading.
no subject
It means you are deliberately attempting to grate on my nerves.

And when G'raha shows up on the screen, it's with a glowing hand. ]
I'm sure different stars have different words for it, but where I hail from it is the means of taking the energy from around you and -
[ The light forms a sword in his hand. A blade that looks like it is made of light. ]
Giving it some shape or form. Now the form may vary - healing magicks or destructive ones, for example.

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.
no subject
Either way, curiosity is never a bad thing.
no subject
There's some things any sorcerer can do, and some people don't even have techniques, they can just see cursed spirits.
