[ There's an image of a pointy-eared Vulcan filling your journal page. He still doesn't understand how this "magic" business works, but if he's to get some of this equipment up and running, he will need to find out pretty soon.If I may, I would like to request information on the phenomenon commonly referred to as "magic". Particularly as related to ( Read more... )

Interesting that you would ask about that, my world did do just that.

But it involved draining what was the very life energy from a particular type of creature of which we lack here. These creatures all died from the process.

I would not...

[ Expression may be imperceptibly marred at the idea of draining another living creature's life-force for energy. Just...no. ]

That is not my intention. I will not ask that of another living being.

I am actually very relieved to hear that. I doubt that is the only way, magic works very differently in all worlds from what I have learned.

[Voice] logicphile February 3 2010, 00:45:03 UTC

That is what I intend to discover. Your magic...might I presume that it is dormant, now that you lack a...suitable energy source?

[Voice] preciousgeneral February 3 2010, 00:48:01 UTC

Actually it isn't. Those of my world are unable to learn more, but what we had before is still usable.

[Voice] logicphile February 3 2010, 01:07:36 UTC

Conceivable. Then may I ask what source you are drawing your energy from?

[Voice] preciousgeneral February 3 2010, 01:28:58 UTC

The creatures I mentioned, they are called Espers. When an Esper dies, they become what we term magicite. Through that, they can pass along the ability to learn and use certain spells that the Esper was capable of in life.

The magicite itself was a crystal basically. My own guess was that the magical energy that could be drained was held within it and that could be transferred to humans to allow them to use it. We do know that draining the energy from a living Esper and infusing it into a human allowed the human to learn magic, so that is a logical enough guess. And unfortunately, our magicite did not travel to this place with us.

Fascinating.

[ Not to mention, strangely similar to the transfer of a Vulcan's katra. ]

It appears that my world was not the only one using crystals as an energy source. [ Perhaps Spock will look into that. ] Dilithium crystals have been highly conducive to space exploration. However, it is not technology that would be considered "magic".

[Voice] preciousgeneral February 3 2010, 02:14:58 UTC

Truly from what I can see, the magic itself is only a different sort of power. Maybe if people in your world thought differently, they would use the power of those crystals to give themselves power rather than devices. My own world just thought to try both.
