In my world there are men known as Maesters. Men of knowledge, who earned it through study. Very few condoned the use of magic ( Read more... )

Why were they against magic?

You would have to ask them that. Perhaps it's because there are those who would choose magic over knowledge.

You're better off with both.

video watchonthewall November 8 2011, 02:23:10 UTC

To have both would be fortunate. But if you could have only one, which would you choose?

video bedsidemanners November 8 2011, 02:25:53 UTC

That's hardly a fair question. In my world they tend to be pretty well connected.

Different worlds sometimes force us to think in different ways.

Re: video bedsidemanners November 8 2011, 03:29:28 UTC

I'm not denying that. But-- the magic, astral power, whatever you'd like to call it-- the kind I'm familiar with, by itself would be dangerous. You'd need the knowledge just to control it.

A good point. Do any every try to wield it without that knowledge?

video bedsidemanners November 8 2011, 04:05:12 UTC

With poor results.

Perhaps that's what the Maesters fear.

video bedsidemanners November 8 2011, 06:02:18 UTC

It's possible.

[a pause] You must not be so against magic, though, or you wouldn't have raised the question.

I don't know much about it. But I do know the importance of learning.

OI! Magic and knowledge are not exclusive to each other.

[video!jack] watchonthewall November 8 2011, 02:21:17 UTC

Maesters train and study for many years. Perhaps they view magic as a shortcut.

[video!jack] wotchesyou November 8 2011, 02:30:39 UTC

Magic is not a shortcut.

[ Says the witch who does use it as a shortcut. She can't help it! Tonks was just raised that way. (unsure) ]

It's not quicker?
