Making fun of appearances is rude, Ben. You can’t easily control what you look like.

@Memory

Soldier Boy: Are you for real right now? I couldn't make fun of these THINGS even if i wanted to!

Looks like you're hitting your stride!

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Looks with a determined gaze at the both of our armies* Alright people! It is time you understood why these monsters are so dangerous and not merely ugly and illogical...

Soldier Boy: *Looks perplexed at Ar'Gavryiell* Hold on... back up... so you sayin' that them being sickeningly fugly is not enough?

Myriad Reality

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Looks between the both of your copy armies proudly like a satisfied teacher*

Soldier Boy: *Starts to show some signs of more discipline after some practice* Alright... alright... this is interesting...

There are forces deeper than magic which few understand. If any. My ability to multiply isn’t magic, nor is it technology.

@Memory

Soldier Boy: Okay, enough brain scorching for a day, now show me how you were pulling those jujitsu moves earlier...

Plus, what else is any electronic device? We constrain them with sigils and they obey us. Resonated with crystals.

@Memory

Soldier Boy: I mean... that does kinda make sense, and since i, now, no longer have a choice in denying it because the fact is literally staring in my face now, i guess we can rock with it.

Think about electricity. It's a force with an origin and rules. Magic is the same—it has a lot of properties you might not expect, which leads to things like rituals and channels. But fundamentally, once you have magic, you can convince it to do work for you.

@Memory

Soldier Boy: Electrictiy, that i can basically tell it 'heel boy!' yup...

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: You're already using it with the tesseract! I saw when you terraformed phobos and how you basically performed an intuitive prayer to activate it... did you never thought for one second that what you were pulling there was a ritual?

Soldier Boy: Uuuh, so you can remember that event?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Were above the dimension of time here?...

My father always described magic as its own energy source with unique rules and patterns that make sense in context.

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: Your father sounds like a wise man. that is exactly how we see it, though we don't label it as magic. We call it spirit or aether, and it is exactly that. But more like a primordial force that precedes the material laws, hence why it can dominate them...

Soldier Boy: *Looks perplexed between the two of you* Still not getting this...

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Sighs and rubs forehead* It is not easy getting people out of a closed mindset... by God's grace! *Sighs again*

In my experience, magic and technology are equally complex routes in the tree of understanding.

@Memory

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *points at you* What he said... and magic isn't even what it is truly believed to entail, from my point of view, this set of cosmic laws by which God and Grandfather shaped the spheres, is simply more laws of physics as you would call them. Magic is just a word primitive cultures labelled this set of properties of reality...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Sure... all of those names.

@Memory

Soldier Boy:... *Sits mute for a few intense moments* ... if your average Joe would tell me this back on Earth or Mars, i would ask them what they're smoking, if magic was proposed as a fact of reality, the powers of the supes was a powerful chemical developed in a laboratory, of which I was the first experiment to, so seemingly supernatural actions were just advanced technology. Now i no longer am presently there, but actively talking to archangel Gabriel and am presently breathing the very air of a magical dimension... screw logical explanations now... because i'm the one that began smoking something at some unknown point... *I proceed to smash a few simulacrums with a few copies of mine*

I generally try to avoid meeting gods when I can. They don't really show a true sample of the world's population.

@Memory

Soldier Boy: So... Greek pantheon anybody?

Arch Numakhiim Ar'Gavryiell: *Coughs falsely* totally real... ahem... they are my younger brothers and sisters... and in Alexander's universe i'm called Thor and in another Poseidon... all pantheons are actually some degree of Numakhiim or ascended masters...
