[Edward's been seeing all of these different posts come up. It's obnoxious to him, but he can see the potential of being able to communicate with so many like this, so he decided to give it a try.]

It's come to my attention that there's a few people here who use "magic." From what I've seen, there's nothing like it where I come from and I have a few questions for anyone who's willing to answer.

In science, you've got different laws that everything follows. Is that the same for magic? Does some magic have laws while others don't?

Are there different fields of magic? What are they?

Where does the energy or power come from?

What makes it "magic" and not a field of science?

[ ... that really sounds like magic too. ]

And that's science?

[milkisgross]

Yeah.

[As convenient as texting is, it's more difficult to get his tone across.]

It's all about redirecting energy an applying it to change the shape or chemical composition of whatever you're transmuting.

It sounds like something out of a manga.

[milkisgross]

You say that like the stuff you told me about isn't like it's from a comic book.

[ the irony here ]

Lots of people were inspired by them at the start. There's still vigilantes around.

[milkisgross]

You don't say?

[Oh no. Don't be putting ideas into his head! There is absolutely no one who could possibly profit from Ed trying his hand at being a vigilante.]

Sounds like that would make a big mess for the law enforcement of your world to deal with.
