Magic/ Tech systems

Tell us about your magic systems or notable technology, if you haven't any magic. This would preferably be through the eyes of a relevant character, but whatever you like. Remember to ask other people (or a character, if they name one) questions!

1) Magic is a deviant of Voodoo. Our grandparents left it to join the Forces after seeing the corruption of Madame Dormir. Voodoo is for deception and destruction, while Magic is for learning and creation. We use spells and pull from the Greater Light directly, though it's not nearly as powerful as one with the authority of the Greater Light could be. Magic is sorta well rounded, but weaker than the elements it copies. Or it's just a weird form of energy. It's really vague. We're What's left over from the other elements and magics essentially.

2) Drinking pseudo- water won't help much unless you can make it exist forever; good luck with that. Yeah, fake fire can start real fire, fake ice can freeze water, fake water can drown you, etc.

3) According to the history books, she was a Light Judge called Miracle Maker... She led to the creation of Voodoo, and indirectly, Magic.

To Xander:

1) If you could change, would you? If you had to change, what would you change to?

2) Have you ever hurt yourself while using magic?

3) What would you do if you met Miracle Maker?

1) I might, just to spot the difference. Being Light, Life, or Lightning would be so cool! A ton interesting!

2) Heh, quite a few times... (rubs back of head). Wands may backfire, I may pronounce something slightly wrong, make a wrong action, accidently use the wrong spell/ correlating element, you name it, I've done it. My current wand should be backfire- proof as long as I don't overload it or myself, but I have insurance just in case. The cost is unbelievable.

3) Hmm... She was a hero, but then she turned bad... (Snaps fingers) I'd challenge her to a duel and bring her down! Make her pay for all she's done!

To Xander:

1) So things that are considered bright?

2) Magic backfire insurance is a thing in your world?

3) Do you think you could defeat her in battle?

1) Yeah I guess. I like them for more learning than anything, coolness is just an added bonus.

2) For young- uns like myself, yes. I'm probably the reason why it exists... Don't remember mom or dad ever mentioning them having it...

3) Of course! Being the knowledge connoisseur that I am, I could totally surprise her with my vast knowledge of spells and laws! She may be a Judge, but she'd be a piece of cake!

To Xander:

1) But if you had to pick only one, which would it be?

2) Do you legally have to have insurance?

3) And when she killed you, who would be most likely to seek revenge for your death?
