3rd ✿ Flower | Video/Action | Searching for a Tree

[floweronmyhead]

[Anyone that's currently looking at their seals will see a sea of green. To be more precise, a multitude of trees and forestry. Those who haven't taken the time to explore the entirety of Splendor might wonder where there was such a forest -- others will recognize it as the forest in the southwestern part of the city.

Kanonno seems to be doing

[The video didn't catch her attention at first, but at the word mana, she turns her attention to her seal, one eyebrow arched.]

Can't say I've heard of a World Tree. But I'm certain I know what mana is. [she frowns a little, peering into the video with an evaluating look.]

I get the feeling we might be talking about something very different, if you're looking for it in a forest.

[She tilts her head for a moment. Knowing about mana without knowing about the world tree? One can't exist without the other -- at least, not where she's from.]

Well, for me, mana is pretty much an energy that flows throughout the world that acts as the basis of all life. A World Tree is the source of all that mana.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your definition of mana?

[fortunesbounty]

That's a strange question. You use it for magic, don't you? Though I suppose it varies from person to person.

.... It doesn't come from a tree, as far as I'm aware.

[floweronmyhead]

I use it for magic too, but I just wanted to know how different the idea of mana was between us.

It doesn't? Then where does it come from?

[fortunesbounty]

Hmm.. Never put too much thought into that. [All things considers, she realizes she's not been much help to the girl.]

I suppose magic can't be too different from place to place. It's more about how people put it to use.

[floweronmyhead]

[It's okay, learning about how other peoples' magic systems work is interesting too.]

That's true. Just like there's different kinds of spells, there's different ways to utilize it. Which is kind of why Splendor is such a mystery - not only in there the whole wish-granting ability, but also that everyone can use its magic as if it were their own back home.
