Of course I "believe" in it. I am a wizard.

[knowthestakes]

You don't sound like a guy.

[wizardoftheweek]

What does my gender have to do with anything?

[knowthestakes]

Because boys are wizards and girls are witches....right? That's how I always understood it.

[youthfulsmile]

Magic is an uneducated term for scientific advancement that people cannot understand.

[soft scribbling noises]

How come you think so?

[youthfulsmile]

Those in my world who practice... such things... utelise naming terminology, methodology and rules and ethics.

Perhaps different from scientific variants, but the fact parallel structures exists is striking in similarity.

[knowthestakes]

So your problem is with the vocabulary.

[lmao blunt]

[rulethegame]

That depends on what you define as magic, doesn't it?

[knowthestakes]

The typical "oooh summon freaky monsters from nowheeeere and then vanish in a puff of smoooke" cheesy voodoo stuff. What do you define it as?

[rulethegame]

Humans have a tendency to call the unexplainable 'magic'. I'm sure these phones, for instance, seem quite magical to some of the people here, while there are probably worlds out there where summoning monsters is seen as nothing out of the ordinary.

[knowthestakes]

Sure, but- what does magic mean to you, personally? What can't you explain?

[hell_inmyhead]

Wouldn't it be kinda weird if someone's been living here for a while and didn't believe in magic...?

[knowthestakes]

Oh, you're Chrona, right? You got a good point, but you know how people can be- don't wanna admit something that's right in front of their face. Stubborn as hell, you know?

[hell_inmyhead]

I guess... but that would be kinda dangerous...

[knowthestakes]

Sure it's dangerous! But people do dangerous stuff all the time.

.......'course, sometimes they have no choice.
