This may be too broad of a question to ask, but I've been curious at any rate. I'd like to ask about what your interpretation of "magic" is, and the basic rules of it should it have any or even limitations.

From my understanding based on my own world, there are some limitations, but magic is capable of much in talented hands.

I suppose that also begs the question of what exactly chroma can be used for, as it is in its essence not quite the typical energy source, yet capable of mild magic on its own.

"Magic" seems to be something I can define when I see it. It's not something that exists where I come from outside of fiction, so it's pretty broad for me.

Guess fantastical and not the norm might be how I'd interpret it, but even that is pretty open.

That's a fair way to perceive it. It's still strange to me to think that it simply doesn't exist in some worlds, but as there are infinite possibilities then I can only assume it is possible to there be a lack of it.

Has it been strange adjusting to it here?

[torsion]

Kind of hard to deny its existence here when all logic is thrown out he window. I'm not sure what I think of chroma, but none of it seems to feel solid and like science to me.

I guess magic could be science that isn't as easily explained? But I'm getting way ahead of myself.

Figure I'm adjusting to so much already that it just feels par for the course. It's no stranger than growing a tail or fangs, right?

You adjust better than many humans would, I think. In any case, some might claim that magic is science not yet learned, and that's not exactly a bad way to look at it, but there are still things that are magical where I'm from. Even if we can explain it, understand its boundaries and rules, it is still what it is.

I guess it's an easy way to describe it, but I can believe it's... a thing on its own? It's just harder for me to wrap my head around, I guess.

I think part of it is reminding myself that the worlds we come from aren't all the same. The rules of mine aren't necessarily the rules of yours, even if there are similarities like locations.

How is it defined where you're from?
