Several things, if you please:
1. Reading suggestions for advancements in healing magic in the last several centuries.
2. Really, I'm curious about general developments in formal magic. I don't use a wand, but I find them interesting.
3. Has it ever been recorded that someone else can physically interact with magic? See it, I mean, smell it, hear it, that sort of thing.

Thank you.

i wouldn't know
nvr got my formal ed n

u might wanna watch out
some folks here might find u barbaric for not havin one

[kingmaking]

Why is that?

It wouldn't be the first time I've been considered uncivilized. I take it as a matter of pride, really; civility is an overrated concept.

[savauge]

civility is only reserved for those who have the privilege o makin use o it

humans love to fool themselves into believin they're better than others n bein civil is one o the many bollocks reasons they have to get em closer to becomin the most fckn special butterfly in the world

( he just wants to squash that butterfly. )

[ hm. ] I've always found the human sense of superiority a little misplaced, myself. Most humanoid or even fully non-human species have distinct advantages over full humans. It's also a little close to home for me, of course, being only half-human. Probably, anyway.

[savauge]

( interest piqued. )

fear is what it is

they're afraid they will lose their seat at the top o the kingdom if they so much as acknowledge another specie as their better so they kill n oppress em instead

u say ur half human what else r u?

[kingmaking]

Well, I'd say most sentient species have advantages and disadvantages.

No idea. Most people assume my father was a demon, but as I've never actually met a demon, I can't say for certain.

What are you, if not human?

[savauge]

we're all flawed creatures but we aren't the ones who need to b told that

( you've got to be kidding him, merlin. )

nothin as fancy as a demon
i'm a werewolf

[kingmaking]

True enough.

I don't know that I'd consider it fancy. He came and went, whoever he was, so I'm not particularly endeared toward him.
I was wondering if I'd ever meet a werewolf here, considering the attitude this society seems to have toward non-humans and the cursed.
Do you have a pack or do you prefer to go it alone?

[savauge]

i have a pack
but we're not v popular over here

like u said this society has a slight attitude prob w my kind
we try to stay out o their way if we can help it

so got a name?

[kingmaking]

Seems ridiculous to me, the fear. Live and let live and they'd have much fewer problems here.

It's Merlin. Well, it's Myrddin, but everyone's called me Merlin for years, and it seems it's continued on through the centuries.
