3rd Paradigm Shift [voice] - backdated like crazy

[ruinga]

Call me curious. How many of you can use magic or some ability similar to it? And does anyone know of a way to learn here if you didn't have it before?

...Friend of mine wants to learn.

Um, I know a few spells. What sort of magic are we talking about?

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Anything that counts. Friend was asking. I don't think my magic can be learned, but I wondered if any others could.

Re: [Voice]

[keyofthesky]

I learned my magic from Merlin the Wizard and my friend Donald. I could try to teach someone, I guess.

What sort of magic do you have?

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

So it's not something you were born with or an ability someone else gave you?

Magic. A paradigm system. It's the only magic I've ever known.

Re: [Voice]

[keyofthesky]

Gave me? How would that work?

Well, different worlds have different sort of magic,

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Like the fal'Cie who were nice enough to give me mine. [Can you heaaaar the sarcasm?]

Elemental, mostly, but also support-type. I don't use it much. Hope or Vanille could explain it better.

Re: [Voice]

[keyofthesky]

Like fire, ice and lightning? That's kinda like mine! I also have reflect and cure.

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Elemental magic is one of the paradigms. Medic for cure and the like is another. I don't use the support paradigms. They're not my style.

[olivebranching.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'm not entirely sure of my powers qualify as the sort of magic you're referring to or not, but I do know some skills of a similar nature.

I was not aware one could "learn" these skills though. From what I always understood, they are traits one is born with...

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

They might be. Magic seems to be different across every world.

"Given to" is the appropriate term from my world. Didn't have them until someone else decided I should.

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

...who's your friend?

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

....Osaka. [From the sound of it, she's too thrilled.]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

[the sound of muffled laughter; oh yes, she knows Osaka]

...good luck.

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

[Siiiiigh.]

...Thanks. [She'll need it.]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there's some kind of magic she'll be able to do. Some magic, though, is limited to non-humans. Hopefully she can understand that.

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

You'd think she would. Maybe someone can explain it. Guess I'll find out soon.

[burningamour.livejournal.com]

What sort of magic is this you speak of?

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

A paradigm system. Like fire, ice, healing. That sort of thing.

[Voice]

[burningamour.livejournal.com]

Je vois...

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

...what?

[Voice]

[burningamour.livejournal.com]

Ah, that is to say, I see.

[Voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

....Right.

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

I do not know how it would work, here. This world is not as the one I know.

[voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm thinking. My type of magic isn't something that can just be learned.

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

That which I know can be, though it is not as it should be, here.

[voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

I don't think anything's the way it should be here.

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

Nor do I.

[voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Tch. Whose rules are they using then?

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

The ones of this place, perhaps?

[voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

What are they? I'd like to talk to one of these Organization people.

[ Lightning... bad idea. ]

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

They are not easy to find.

[voice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Figures. No one ever is. [ Doesn't mean she won't go looking. ]

[voice]

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

It is the way of most places.

[eternitydreamer.livejournal.com]

I can use it, but I don't know if it's anything that can be taught to any human.

I can teach your friend how to fly, though! ♥

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

That seems to be a common line.

...How? ...I'm not sure she's the best one to be flying around. She might fly headfirst into a wall.

[voice, by the way]

[eternitydreamer.livejournal.com]

Oh, really?

She can fly if I let her possess me. But... I'm not sure I want to go flying into a wall.

[permavoice]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

It's the same in my case.

I wouldn't trust her with that yet. Let her get a few of the clumsy fits out first.

[ditto]

[eternitydreamer.livejournal.com]

Maybe it has to do with the fact that none of us are native to this world, or something.

Yeah, I think I will. [giggle]

[apocalypsesaber.livejournal.com]

Maybe. What rules are they using then? Something has to allow our abilities to work here.
