[@RavenTLark] Elizabeth was pleased that Skotadi could hold a conversation, especially on the nature of things which even the fundamentals were not completely understood. Elizabeth said to Skotadi, "From what we have so far observed, this world does not seem terribly more advance, if at all, in comparison to the world we left behind. There seem to be no firearms, for instance. It is possible that this world picked up something that our world has missed, or has picked up something that has not yet been found in our world. Either that, or that it is something completely endemic to this world that allows magic to exist. I think that it is the latter, as I think that the science of our world is advanced enough to at least hint at something which is a great part of the fundamentals of the world, but I, even with my own confidence, cannot put absolute trust in my intuition. Regardless, I think that one of these must largely be correct. And to answer your previous question, I think the thing which most puzzles me is the question of 'what is magic'? However, what exactly is it that you mean by sentient? Do you refer to the beings which are sentient?"
