[Things have been pretty stressful recently, between his argument with Xion, Vanitas' surprise attack on Axel, and the impending possibility that he could strike again. Fortunately, with Sora's return to Luceti, Riku's feeling a bit better today, and he'll be spending the evening out and about. Aqua's still kidnapped, which means he'll have to work

They exist as elements of magic in my own world. "Ko" and "Yami", as they are called by the Japanese.

[stilldontgotit]

So they're just elements in your world?

[1week_wizard]

They are many things. Magical elements, metaphorical concepts, literal concepts, whatehaveyou.

[stilldontgotit]

Sounds about right. So, is dark magic pretty strong?

[1week_wizard]

Exceptionally so, in the right hands.

[stilldontgotit]

Heh, not surprised. Is there any stigma that goes with it? All I've ever heard about the darkness is that it's dangerous.

[Well, up until Castle Oblivion, where he embraced it without letting it consume him. Even Mickey was cool with that.]

[1week_wizard]

Well, the idea behind darkness is that it obscures what lies within it. And we are naturally xenophobic, regardless of species or world of origin. We fear what lies within the darkness. That is what gives it its power.

[stilldontgotit]

Good point. I guess the real problem's what lurks inside the darkness, not darkness itself.

Just about everyone's got some darkness in them.

[1week_wizard]

Precisely.

[stilldontgotit]

Still, I find it kind of funny that darkness in my world's so dangerous.

[1week_wizard]

Well it is that way by nature in most worlds...

[stilldontgotit]

Light's just as strong, if not stronger. I bet if someone used light to hurt others, it'd get the job done.

But that's not how it usually works.

[1week_wizard]

Some people have. Have you heard of the Light of Judgement?

[stilldontgotit]

Light of Judgment? Can't say I have.

[1week_wizard]

It's a spell I read about recently. A beam of light that is powerful enough to rend entire continents in twain.

[stilldontgotit]

Entire continents... That's some power.
