Snippet #2747129

"To answer your question Cal I once again refer you to the start of the class. Magic is Madness, but madness itself is subjective isn't it? For example many of your classmates may think you mad, but so far your one of the only ones actually participating in the class aren't you." And Andolen turned his gaze on the rest of the class, the snickering children who fell silent and quailed under his disapproving glare.

"Again I refer to the fae and their very nature. Things that, to us, seem disconnected and impossible, to them are simple and relative. For example we commonly believe that rocks are not living things, and yet the fae believe otherwise. However while we may think them crazy for that belief, we ourselves do not have a proper explanation for how earth elementals exist, when they are clearly living stone."

"As for how Ruuka's power works, I believe he may be one of those ancient beings who do not use logic to function. He does not control magic, he exists among it, and therefore his will is a part of it. As for what qualifies as magic, I believe we already discussed that magic is anything that would normally be impossible. Spells are merely methods of controlling and utilizing magic. To that extent, even the abilities of those who claim not to be using magic are in fact using magic, they are simply using a method that is particular to them."

And here he turned to Halitrax and his question, stating "Magic is an underpinning of reality itself. It exists in all things, at all times, in all places. When people speak of the fabric of reality, part of that fabric is magic in and of itself. After all, it's impossible to explain how reality came to be, isn't it."

Andolen then turned back to the chalkboard and began to scribe a series of symbols and marks. "Your question, Halitrax, raises another point we will talk about today, though I doubt we will finish the discussion before class ends. Magic exists everywhere at all times. It can be considered like a vast ocean existing around, in, and throughout the known universe. And because of that, it is also possible to dive into and travel through that ocean. This is the functional theory of the world gate spell, a magic formulae that allows one to connect two points of space, regardless of distance from each other, and travel between them instantaneously."
