I'm surprised you know who that is! do they have creepypastas in your world?

[defenderoftomorrow]

I'm nnot sure sure what 'creepypastas' is supposed to mean but we have sorties about monsters and spirits too.

They're always real somewhere, we have all kinds of strange creatures in my world. Specially in the Shadow Isles, since a magical cataclysm left the place cursed.

[dualnatura]

magical cataclysm? that sounds ominous. I know a little bit about magic, but as far as I know, there haven't been any "cataclysms" in my world. at least... not magical ones.

[defenderoftomorrow]

It was. A long time ago, the Rune wars also happened in my world. People fighting with runes and magical artifacts, causing the destruction of many civilizations and landmasses. But I believe that magic, like most things, it's simply a tool. It can be good or bad, it depends on the use you give it.

You know about magic? Have you studied it, or...?

[dualnatura]

I've studied it, a little. there aren't many magic practitioners these days, where I come from. I was able to find a mentor to get me started, but things sort of went off the rails before I could get too far in my own studies.

[defenderoftomorrow]

You study magic too? Oh! It's not every day I meet someone with that same interest. So you are a mage? A real one?

Because of the Rune wars I mentioned, a lot of people in my world are still wary of magic and mages. But the arcane could help so many people if we gave it the chance.

I don't have any magic myself, but in my world my partner and I developed magical technology that can be wielded by anyone, the artifacts are powered by a special type of crystal.

[dualnatura]

I guess you could call me a mage? Or witch, or sorceress, whatever term you want to use. Though these days, I'm mostly just a vessel for a magical spirit... Pretty much all of my magical efforts are spent keeping her contained.

Magic in my world isn't something you are born with. We have books and stories like that, but in reality it's just a skill you can learn like anything else. We use crystals too, as well as certain types of wood or herbs.

[defenderoftomorrow]

Any terms you are comfortable with work with me. [ Jayce is nothing if not adaptable, and he wants to be respectful. That said, her being a vessel is not what he was expecting. ]

How did that happen? It sounds like a very stressful and difficult task. Is there no one who could help you to perhaps seal the spirit somewhere else out of your body?

That's interesting. It works different in my world, you need to be magicborn to use elemental magic, or have some level of affinity to it. Do you have school, then?

[dualnatura]

it's kind of a long story. the spirit-- Natura is her name-- was trying to possess a friend of mine, by force. the only way I could think of to save my friend was to take her in myself instead. and yeah, I'm working on a plan to seal her somewhere else, where she can't hurt anyone, but it's hard because I'm only in control of my body one night a month. or at least, that's how it was back home. something about this place makes it so I can take control a little more often, but it's still 60/40 her versus me.

I was in school, before Natura, but not for magic. studying magic was more of a hobby.

[defenderoftomorrow]

That's terrible. I can't even begin to imagine how upsetting it must be not being in charge of your own body. I'm sorry. What you did was really brave.

Is there a way to tell you two apart when she is in control? Does anything physically change?

Ah, I see. Magic has been a hobby of mine since I was young too but I had to be more discreet about it.

[ And then one day his apartment blew up. Ooops. ]
