Mission Report 003

[written]My initially attempt at acquiring data on magic have yielded little results. The most I could gauge was that people who can use magic are reluctant to share for unknown reasons; either the penalty for using magic is too much to waste on a demonstration, or their magic acts as their trump card and they do not wish to reveal their abilities

The ability to use this Filial magic is something that varies, depending on who wants to use it. It is my belief that it will be easier to get a grip on it if you've had previous experiences with magic, or something similar. Also, it might depend on your personality and determination. To be able to use Filial magic, you need to contact the respective elemental 'spirit'. Usually, these spirits will mock you. They need to deem you 'worthy', I suppose.

I was unaware of Filial magic; the kind I was specifying was magic people already had access to from their own home world. However, I was rather broad with my request, so either would have sufficed.

Is there anything more you can tell me about Filial magic, specifically the different elemental 'spirits' and how to contact them?

I'm afraid that all original magic has been nullified to such a level that it simply isn't relevant anymore. Of course, researching it would be an interesting thing to do, but I am unsure how to put the results to good use.

Not much is known about the spirits that control Filial magic. Simply that they exist. In fact, I am not even certain how many different spirits there are. However, they can be contacted if one concentrates hard enough.

That is unfortunate, but also explains further why I received such little interest. I was more interested in the process of constructing a database on the magics of different worlds and comparing them than finding a use for it; someone else more qualified would have, no doubt, made something of it.

I will look further into this. Thank you for providing what information you could.

It was my pleasure. I wish you luck on your further research.
