( 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 )

Do some people where you are from find it more difficult to pour a glass of water? Likely so. They may not have steady hands. But the cause of the difficulty is not to do with the water itself, or the ability of people to pour it being genetic.

So the ability to use magic where you're from can be learned by anyone who wishes to practice it?

[blackscales]

Where I am from, yes, although I am aware for others here it is not so.

At least, that is their belief. Believing you cannot do something is not the same as being unable to.

[unas]

What if you actually can't? I'm sure for as many people that don't believe that could do it there are as many that try to do it but can't.

[blackscales]

I would question if they have tried more than one style and school of magic, and if they had tried for more than five minutes.

[unas]

Then it's not limited to species?

[blackscales]

As I said, anyone who wishes to practice.
