I've been curious about something lately. How does magic work in other worlds?

[ A somewhat ironic question, coming from him. In his 'universe,' he supposed, it was fairly universal. But from what he's seen lately... it's slightly more complicated than that. And he's curious if he can learn other spells besides the ones he already knows. ]

Ah, a spell calls on something like one of the elements, or a mazoku or god, to lend you its power to do something. So, if you want to cast a fireball, you have to invoke the element of fire in a certain way.

Magic? Why do you ask?

[video]

[amereillusion]

I'm perfectly familiar with elements. Gods... somewhat, but not entirely. [ Never been to Olympus Colosseum. ] But if I might ask, what is a 'Mazoku?'

[amereillusion]

[ Ahh, right. It doesn't exist in every world. ]

I'm sure you've noticed by now that not all worlds are alike. I've noticed that magic, in worlds where it exists, can sometimes differ from magic found in other worlds. I'm curious how it is performed elsewhere.

[failtsuninari]

Magic, huh?

It's a difficult to explain how it works in my home world but I'll give it a shot. We have something called soul ability, it's an innate power all souls have but it takes years to master. Of course the powers vary based on their past lives' experiences and other factors. Living creatures can't normally access that since it could have undesirable consequences on the physical body.

[bratworth]

It didn't.

[ THE SIMPLEST ANSWER. ]

[goldfoot]

Quite well. For the superstitious.

[flagrate]

That depends on what you think of as magic.

[What's up, Zexion. Have a maybe kind of familiar face look rather thoughtful at that question?]

I suppose that would depend on the world itself.

[cerberusbadass]

I've only just heard about different worlds. Still not sure what I'm supposed to think about it.

We don't have any magic in mine, though. How does it work in yours?

Re: [video]

[standup_for_justice]

Kind of the opposite of a god. The gods come from and get power from creation, the mazoku come from and get power from destruction.

[amereillusion]

Then... your body is not physical?

[amereillusion]

Usually, it involves basic primal elements; wind, fire, water, ice, lightning. Others, such as myself, have more specialized magic. Mine in particular is Illusion.

I found out in some worlds, it is much more in-depth than that. I interested in learning more.

[amereillusion]

Like a devil, then?

[ He's heard of them in certain worlds, but have never seen one. Closest he knows to exist was Chernobog in the End of the World, where Xemnas' Heartless was known to haunt. ]

[amereillusion]

Then my question doesn't apply to you.

[ Srsly, Miles. Srsly. ]

[amereillusion]

[ Oh, hello talking Kangaroo... thing... he blinks. ]

I assure you, it's real in other worlds.

voice

[amereillusion]

What do you think of as magic?

[video]

[amereillusion]

[ He squints his eyes. He's... seen him before, but if he has, it's ages upon ages ago. Kind of a vague resemblance to Xemnas and his Somebody counterpart, as well, but... obviously not him. Right? Right? ]

... Are you from my 'universe,' then?

[whatsupcroc]

Smoke and mirrors! I'm pretty sure we don't have magic straight up and up where I'm from. Really awesome technology on the other hand? Oh yeah.

[flagrate]

I think magic is fairy tale stuff. But someone confused things I can do with magic when I first got here.

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

Either you're "blessed" with it, or you're not.

[amereillusion]

Would you mind giving me a few examples?

[failtsuninari]

Yes technically speaking. Where I live, the world is split into two realms: a physical "living" realm and the spiritual one where spirits and deities reside. I live in the later but I'm not a soul waiting for reincarnation and I can cross over to the living realm if needed.

voice

[amereillusion]

This world should provide a very enlightening experience for you, then. What kinds of 'things' can you do?

[video]

[amereillusion]

In my universe, in theory, anyone can learn how to perform basic spells. Though, not everyone is skilled with magic.
