( 2am crazy ideas should never be allowed but here she is, only marginally more fleshed out and with a partner in crime )

I’ve seen some of the magic here, dragons and people that can use it, but is all magic the same? Can everyone that uses it do the same things or is it different in every universe?

( she told him she was going to learn everything about it )

The physics of this universe are different to the one I know, anything like magic doesn’t exist there but something makes this world different.

(Ok so it wasn’t the most eloquent phrasing, maybe he could help polish it up a little bit)

I haven’t been here long, so I haven’t seen any magic first hand, but from what I know of the mythologies of my world, everything works a little differently…and some things are thought to be magic and end up having a plausible explanation. So how can we tell what is magic and what might have a scientific explanation?

(or maybe not.)

( she tips her head to the side to look at him with a no kidding kind of look )

If magic is biological in nature, children’s stories aside, what makes it different to… superhuman strength? ( not at all using herself as an example there ) Or different organ placement. Can it be replicated with enough knowledge?

( una )

And if it can, would it give us an advantage in this place or at the very least, can we get magic and science to work together?

( that’s the question. from all of the different universes, with all of the different kinds of magic can they work together? she shrugs slightly because he summed it up pretty well: what magic do you know, does technology work/exist/etc in your universe? or just educate their silly space brains about magic )

He's going to try!

Genetics is a bit of biological code. It tells our bodies things like what makes my hair gray, and Una's hair brown. Is there something like that for magic? Like Are there some people who have an easier time using it than others or some people that aren't magical at all?

he's done it!!!

You ask if sorcery chains to body, will or learned skill.

Woohoo!

[failed_astrophysics]

Yes, exactly that!

[downswing]

To all three.

Skill builds on but struggles to displace a native advantage.

[failed_astrophysics]

That makes a lot of sense. It's a skill that some people are naturally better at that others.

[downswing]

As a muscle, in want of exercise.

[failed_astrophysics]

[This is a good sign, it means it can be learned.]

Do the intentions of the user matter as well?

[downswing]

Does the intent of the sword hand reshape the sword?

[failed_astrophysics]

No, but it does help decide when to use it. Magic's the same?

[downswing]

No different.

Perhaps more intimate, as all that is bound to the mind.
