Do Paul Daniels or David Copperfield count?

[interferes]

David Co-- oh! No, no, not really. I'm talking about actual magic. You know, making fire appear from nowhere, levitating pots and pans and the like -- things that can't be explained by science. It's all quite novel, actually.

[gotbigpants]

Nope. Definitely none of that, stuff of fiction really, and trust me I've published enough of it. As for this place and its apparent existence, am decidedly sceptical.

[interferes]

[cheerfully] Give it a few months, you'll change your mind.

It comes from the land.

[interferes]

Literally?

[maidenofdusk]

Each Race is gifted with certain abilities, and some individuals more than others.

[needscuecards]

Oh, um... There's magic in a lot of the worlds I've visited. I'm used to more like... Elemental types of magic, and how strong your magic is depends on how much experience you've had using it and some other things.

There are some other people that can do all sorts of things with magic, though. Like wizards, and talking flowers. That sort of thing.

[interferes]

Talking flowers? Can't say I've met any of them. Although there are a race of perfectly friendly tree people in my universe -- mostly the decedents of Earth's old forests. No magic though, just photosynthesis.

[needscuecards]

I think these flowers would heal you if you gave them... A potion, or something. And one made you grow bigger, and one... Would reveal hidden things if you shocked it with... Electricity, I think? It's been a while. Definitely not much photosynthesis going on with those flowers, though.

Ah--are you from that Earth place too, then?

[interferes]

That... is incredibly odd.

Oh no, although I do seem to spend a lot of time there. I'm from Gallifrey.

[iheardrums]

Magic? Really? Do you want to bring back the reign of the Pythia or something?

Ooooh, do I get to go on a walk?

Master

[interferes]

No, of course not. But there's no harm in being curious.

Would you like to?

[iheardrums]

[dryly] Just don't start summoning demons. That's my job.

Are you going to put me on a leash?

Master

[interferes]

Demon summoning just isn't my style, I'm afraid. Particularly when they're not actually demons.

Of course not.

[onlyanapple]

Well, it's not so much magic as is it innate occult/ethereal ability. We have witches, though. [Pause] Well, witch. And she's not very good.
