Oh right. I wrote this. Sorry. -nod-
Magic is something straight from a fairytale, in theory. It can be bent to the will of those who craft magic, the power of emotion, into spells. These people who sew strings of feeling and power into world changing spells are called “Magicians”, though often called a “Mage” or a “Witch” in the present day. Their struggles with magic do not come for free, but this knowledge is not freely given either.
The world of magic is falling apart. Rules are nothing unless they can be enforced and anything that can be enforced is a rule, no matter how cruel it may be. What seemed logical and true can be changed if someone strong enough wills it and what was once a art of kindness can easily be twisted into a new kind of kindness.
In this twisted world of rules and truth there are those who cannot interfere. They cannot do anything more than watch because that is a rule and a truth that they cannot fight. But by finding a hole in that rule or truth Fate can slip her strings to another and carefully guide them through what they do not know and unravel the will and force that makes truth and rules.
Her string has been tied and the puppets chosen. It is time for Fate to make a move, though slowly. It is time to change.
