I suppose I'm to thank you for reminding me that it's my character, and I can do as I please.
But since I'm posting a thread requesting the input of my fellow roleplayers, one should infer that I at least marginally care about what they have to say on the matter. Â The manner in which I choose to play my character takes into consideration the ideas of the community in which I choose to include myself.
on a somewhat more on topic reply; When you look at magic through the lens of Theoretical Physics, magic is simply the act of manipulating energy with energy. you start with the base form wave (your personal energy/chi/bio-electric/bio-em) you pass it through a medium (wand/rod/crystal/etc) to which it phase shifts taking on similar properties. Once in-sync you manipulate that energy field by applying "pressure" and effectively creating eddies and currents in a stable field then control the resulting cascade failure into its desired form (fireball/cure/tax-audit).Â
Learning to use that energy would be like learning to flap your ears, easy to conceptualize harder to do. however once you learn to do that base task (flapping your ears or summon fire) it becomes easier to do. Most learned forms of magic require a medium. i say require but what i mean is they are taught to use the medium to find the pattern they need to sync with which causes them to become dependent on using said medium. Basically its not required but without it casting magic becomes significantly harder for your average energy manipulator. For most they could not do it with out the aid of the medium, and later casting spells add to that dependency by giving them additional mediums for more grandiose energy manipulations.
not sure if this will help, but fun food for ideas.
