Ichthys, wow! Just wow. Thanks for answering the questions, you're creating a really immersive experience.

Even in our own world, there are smart people and not so smart people, and while both of them have access to the same technology, one will be much more adept in its use than the other.

This probably sums it up. I agree, good one Schradinger.

Edit: You guys, reply too quickly for me to keep up XD Ichthys, you said we would leave the occult out of the RP, but, building on Schradinger's philosophical musings, you should address how the body/soul/mind/spirit... works in relation to the magic around it.

While I'm sure it can fix a lot of problems, humans as a whole are generally a quarrelsome species, and just because they have a quick fix to their problems (keeping it mind it might well not be as quick and easy as all that), doesn't mean they won't find reasons to covet further power by position or what other people have. In fact, it seems to me like there'd be even more potential for trouble, with so many more options made available. It might actually be harder to uphold law and order when those you're trying to stop have exactly the same main weapon as you, and might well be better at wielding it. o.0 There are plenty of other motivations for killing and fighting other than gaining ressources for survival.


Heh, you're quite a cynical person XD So, on one hand, we base these witches off the presumption that human nature is inherently evil and that there's a natural tendency to oppress or control, irregardless of the societal environment in which they were brought up. Then magic would just be a means to meet their ends - total domination, as without magic (IRL) its almost impossible to achieve such a scale of control. In this scenario, there has to be a really OPed coven thats wipes the floor with everyone.
On the other hand, we have Covens made up of self sustaining individual witches that dont have to rely on outside influences. Their environment is such that each of their needs can be met pretty easily because everyone has a basic magical potential. This society will be magically different from ours, right from the start, if you imagine witches as a people close to the natural world, where their technology develops totally different from ours. Their idea of civilisation would be so different, theres so much potential to develop a unique society, completely separate from our own world. This society would be more interested in personal development and aggregation of knowledge rather than fighting among themselves. So, you see, their concept of power and control should be different as well because, naturally, when each Coven's needs can be met easily, through magic, there will be no ultimate power that can be imposed over them that would result in a war that makes both sides lose everything they have. (A real life analogy would be, why we dont just nuke the middle east or anywhere. Because they will nuke us as well and everyone dies)
TL;DR: All permeating magic gives humans the potential for more good, IMO... YES I'M NAIVE AND OPTIMISTIC! SHOOT ME!

But that doesnt really help the rp, So, maybe destroying other Covens give you more magic like you take their source of power but this power corrupts and make you wana kill more? The thing is, each house in GOT has their own motives, not just blindly killing everyone in the name of gaining power.

Although, admittedly, those are generally the most altruistic.I'm also hoping there's more restrictions on the magic to keep that sort of castle lost? *waves hands* New castle! from happening. ;)


How about singing magic? Say theres this sapling, and witches can perform rituals where they sing and coax the sapling to grow into whatever shape, eg. A tree that grows into a house while still being a tree that lives and grows. The restrictions would be time. Obviously, the growth is accelerated but it should take a week at least? for a normal sized house. Like in Eragon!
About the magic in this world, does it work like an energy (to build on your breating analogy, eg. stamina allowing breathing to occur) or is it a process (eg. inhale from the mouth, exhale from the nose)? I ask this to know if a persons magical prowess is limited by their individual innate magical reserve or their knowledge on how to perform the magic (whether they can learn or not), so does it depend on how big your lungs are or your breathing techniques?
After typing that, I realised.... por que no los dos!

Edit: Does magic come from within the individual or from the natural magically saturated environment? Which ties back with

Like say.... A tree. Could a tree theoretically use magic? Insofar as I know, a tree does not have any sentience as we'd recognise it, but they can, and will, develop natural defenses. Could an ordinary tree, over the course of time and a few generations, develop defenses (or seed spreading tactics) that utilise this magic in much the same way as a redwood has thick bark against fire or an acacia has thorns against browsers?


I hope you understand why I ask about these limits. What's stopping a Theon Vilicus from putting a magical aneurysm in Ned D'Cerf's brain the minute they see each other?
And also, will children be magicking like in Harry Potter? Able to have emotional magical outbursts? Do adults naturally get better at focusing their magic or do they require training in a Hogwarts?

The problem with magical societies is that they dont have many natural barriers to getting what they need to live. With no limits, they can magic food, shelter, clothes, whatever. Unless all witches are evil and bloodthirsty, there seems to be no motivation for the killing and the fighting. I.e. if they lose farmland, no probs, move to a new area, magic the land to grow food. If they lose a castle, no probs, magic one from any material you can find. The idea of power in society is usually related to controlling something that everyone around you want or need or desire. But magic takes out the strife which fuels the desire or need for anything. If everyone was magical, youd imagine a society like the Elfes in The Lord of the Rings.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, I'm really interested :) This sounds interesting
Prometheus slouched over a wooden stool in the middle of his workshop, chiseling intricate details onto his latest sculpture while totally oblivious to the busy bustling all around him. A majestic clay eagle as tall as Prometheus himself stood in the center of a vast glass dome which span the limitless space of the workshop, its wings outstretched as if it was about to lift off the ground with every single feather carved to perfection. Golden sun rays were diffracted through the thick glass panels of the dome, casting a spectrum of colours across the floor which was littered with an assortment of clay figurines and sculptures. One such sculpture of a fox was trotting across the wide marble floor as it nimbly avoided careless legs swinging at it. Its nose was squashed into its horribly deformed face creating a sickening look, but its one eye gleamed fiery crimson with a white hot intensity that tells of an intelligence behind them. Other deformed mud men with limbs and body parts missing greeted the fox as it passed by before returning their attention to their lifeless brethren, cleaning or applying layers upon layers of polish onto them until they glowed with the light. Tiny winged clay elves the size of human thumbs zoomed across the ceiling of the great glass dome, their low buzzing adds to the general lively atmosphere of the workshop as they tirelessly scrub on the wide glass panels.

The fox found its master admiring his latest creation. Prometheus was satisfied with his handiwork, snapping his fingers, he ordered his elven workers to start glazing and polishing the eagle - Gawayne, his most majestic creation yet. Then he noticed his little fox, staring patiently at him. "You looked troubled Fennel, speak your worries." Prometheus said in a rich melodious voice. Bowing down, the fox half opened what was left of his broken lower jaw.
"Almighty Prometheus, the other Gods have summoned a full council. They await your presence in Ninjen's throne room." The fox spoke in an arid gravely tone devoid of any emotion as if it were breathless
"What do they want now..." Prometheus was obviously irritated at this news. After the last fiasco, he didnt feel like seeing any of them anytime soon.
"Our birds sent reports of a growing threat from the Titan scums, if my lord would excuse me, I assume this will be the subject of our meeting."
Prometheus sighs, there was no choice but to go.
"Tom, Joe, Harry, grab my stuff. Leo, I'm leaving, look after the shop while I'm gone. " Prometheus yells at no one apparent.
Fennel wince as a deep rumbling shook the whole workshop in reply like an earthquake. Three faceless mud golems as big as Prometheus shuffled after their master as he walked through a glass panel.

_____________________________________________________________________

Entering the throne room, Prometheus strolls past the other gods and took his place on a stone throne beside Azairu lifting his legs up onto the armrest. Tom held a large platter of ambrosia, trudging around the room as he served the Gods. Joe accompanied Tom with goblets of nectar while Harry gave Prometheus a foot massage.
