Penguins i think is pretty hand-wave-y but Umbra still has some things not yet explained. // i think i already mentioned this to you, sorry if i did, Gonzo's "Magic" is based on Thaumcraft's mechanics and Lore, we've already had a few visits from the Crimson Cult (no one is worried we haven't seen them in a while? hehe...) // to quickly explain Thaumcraft's mechanics is a bit hard, as there is quite a lot to explain. but to somewhat quickly explain it: // everything in the world is composed of six primary aspects (the Primal Aspects), Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Order and Entropy. out of these aspects can be made compound aspects, such as the Life aspect. (from water and earth, that's sort of what life is/came from when you think about it). you can then combine compound aspects to get more compound aspects. // there is more to mention, but that is the basics and the bad. // and what i meant by calling you a hypocrite is that i have seen many, many cases of people using pretty much magic, calling it science. and so far, large cities floating out of the ground, one-handed pistols shooting 1 million volts of lightning with out need charge time, seems like magic to me. i'm sure there is more to it if you got an option to explain it, but so far, every chance Gonzo has had to explain something, he has taken it. if the problem is that you haven't gotten to explaining it, then that can (not saying it is) be your fault for not taking the initiative and doing the explaining. // and lastly, i'm 100% in favor of dismissing people who use poorly/unexplained magic. Magic, just like science, needs a good explanation.

While what Umbra and Gonz use are explained and not absolutely unbeatable, there's been a surplus of the kind of magic that just goes "poof! this happens!" lately. I'm honestly annoyed with it, as Marx is, because all it's being used for is stirring up trouble. // Not only is it giving Umbra stress in the RP, but it's stressing me in real life as well. |
