There's a fair amount of silence around the room, as everyone thinks, and considers his words. "Magic is..." Katrina begins, trying to think how to phrase it. "Magic is the ability to do things only magic can accomplish," she finishes, though she doesn't seem pleased with the definition, although others nod in agreement. "Magic is everything that wouldn't be possible without it," Tolena, the succubus-nymph hybrid says, in a moment of surprising intelligence. "Mm, yes, excellent point. With few exceptions, all things magic does cannot be duplicated, without magic, in one form or another." "It's... almost as if tings might continue without magic," Ulwei says, jumping off the other ideas. "As if it's something... disconnected, from the rest of reality." "So... maybe magic isn't a naturally occurring part of reality?" Aviendha offers. "Then what is it, if not natural? Someone made it?" "I'm fairly certain it wasn't us gods... we're as bound to it as anyone." "Perhpas even more so." "Then, maybe it's from..." she leaves the word to trail off, but she's clearly referring to the mysterious Outside, beyond the Astral Sea.
