@Techspert

Why, hello there, grey-haired man. Whose name I happen to know.

[Realmatic]

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I have what people have called magic. But nobody on my world does.

@Meta

Then why would your chemistry class teach you about reactions that happen to make magic?

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Why, hello there, purple-haired woman.

@Disdain

Robyn: And hi, yet another likely scarily strong person.

...

@Techspert

Robyn: And quiet sidekick?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

And quiet sidekick?

@Heroic

Well, if you count being made of crystal as scary, then I'm scarily strong. Otherwise, I'm just snarkily strong.

@Disdain

My hair is silver.

@Heroic

Yes, but not to him.

@Realmatic

They wouldn't, because they shouldn't happen.

@Techspert

Why, hello there, silver-haired man, whose specific hair colour I did not previously know.

[Realmatic]

@Meta

Magical energy is just another sort of energy. Do you want the specifics of the process?

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Yes, but not to him.

@Techspert

I should think not. I doubt we would be particularly good as partners, since I don't know how your magic complements mine, if it does at all. Or if your personality does, in fact.

@Disdain

Robyn: Made of crystal? How does that even work?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Yes, but not to him.

@Techspert

Robyn: Oh. Fair.

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Oh. Fair.

@Heroic

Oh, the usual for the nonexistent race of crystal beings--made entirely out of crystal with an intangible consciousness and life force sustaining my body with magical power.

@Disdain

Robyn: So magic is really the sole explanation.

@Heroic

I wouldn't say that. I can be explained by philotes-related science. There is a lot of science behind magic. We magic-users just ignore it because it's too much work to learn why we can do what we do rather than just do the poofing.

@Realmatic

I would.

[Realmatic]

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I would.

@Meta

The presence of the compound activates reactions between itself and other substances in the core. This produces a substance, the crystalline structure and elemental composition of which channels magnetic energy into magical energy. This substance is almost immediately split back up into its original components, and the cycle happens again.

@Realmatic

I don't get it. How does a crystal turn it into energy?

@Disdain

Wouldn't it be important to know that there's nothing bad coming from your lack of understanding the hows and whys?

Robyn: Oh. Fair.

@Heroic

I suppose so.

[Nemeses]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I suppose so.

@Techspert

Whose sidekick are you?
