I want to start with a brief apology for this being an anonymous post. But there are several factors that are, in a way, forcing my hand.

[she's looking at you Viktor]

Despite that, I will answer anything you inquire with sincerity and knowledge I am privy to. Answering this anonymously in return is acceptable.

My question is, perhaps for many people here, quite simple: What is magic to you?

The follow-up questions that you can answer, but don't have to, are: How do you control it? Do you have a trigger for it, like heightened emotions and danger-sense? Or does it come from understanding and logic? Did you learn it? Or were you born into it?


I appreciate any and all insights you can provide me with.

Magic is completely ordinary to have for some, and a plain absurd ability for others.

It can be a curse for one person, a proof of their being blessed for the other, and nothing more than a cat's claws to a third.

It all depends on what species you are.

I could also go into the details of how it works, but I don't want to bore you with specifics.

[goldwraith]

Yes, I have come to that conclusion myself.

I was wondering what magic is to you, specifically. What is your experience with it?

If you wish to share, that is. You are not required to do so.

Ah, my apologies. That sounded a bit too melodramatic, didn't it?

The answer is all of what I just mentioned, since I work with a wide variety of people. For humans it's an absurd ability to have, but many ayakashi have a natural affinity for it and even more can learn it. I'm quite good at all kinds of it myself.

Though, to give a more useful answer - it's a hassle if the one using it doesn't know what they are doing.
