Edd and his magic

*shifty glance*

I'm not going into extreme amounts of detail because this is a public site and someone could steal all this. If you want something in depth, contact me and let me know

moving on

Make sure you've read the latest 19 or all chapter before you continue to read.

So, Edd and his magic. I'm only explaining this just to be sure that you understand.

See, Edd used his magic to, first, fix all of Namine's ruined pictures. Why? Well, it took him a while to realize that that was an extremely cruel thing to make her do in the first place, and that it wasn't even necessary. So he just used magic to fix them.

Seem far fetched?

Well, it's not much different than waving your wand, saying "Oculus, repairo!" (I think I spelled that right. I went to look it up in the book only to find that it's not in the scene I expected it to be. Of course, I'm sure it's SOMEWHERE in the book, but I'm not going to sit here all day looking for it)

at any rate, he used magic to fix Namine's pictures

and then to make Namine forget that she had even ruined them

which is a personal specialty of his; being able to go into people's heads and rearange things. It's like Magik's Namine's/canon Namine's/probably any Namine that isn't my Namine's ability to rearange memories, but at a much larger scale. Because he can do it with memories, and thoughts, and emotions (I'm debating on the emotion part...) It's like Shad, I guess, but at a still larger scale because Shad can really only affect a certain few people, and Edd can affect everyone.

He's thinking about doing it to you, right now.

Just kidding!

Anyway, so then he uses aformentioned powers to block all of the thoughts and memories that Namine shouldn't have yet. I mean, I explained that in the chapter. So...

Btw, that's what Vexen was confused about in the previous chapter, with the "locks and spells". 

Though, technically, the term "spells" is not accurate. I don't use spells in my magic. I think I just phrased it like that to make my life easier, though, or Edd's just trying to put it in terms that they'll understand.

But spells isn't accurate at all. It's just that KH has such a primitive understanding of magic, that I have trouble squeezing Edd and my definition of magic in sometimes. Not that what KH defines magic as is bad, it's just that it's tailored to being a video game, so that anything more complicated than "Dark Thundaga" has it's definition a bit skewed.

That, and my definition isn't what people typically consider magic. I mean, magik's magic (that sounds so funny) is some cross between Harry Potter magic and Wizardry in Diane Duane's books. So, it's relatively simple.

But mine is more like... I don't know, some big conglomeration of every single definition of magic I know. Admittedly, it is lacking some Harry Potter elements, but it's not spell-based magic (such as the magic you find in Harry Potter). It's something closer tailored to Wizardy, and then more.

It's like... magic is when you bend the universe around you so that it gives you what you want (such as Wizardry) but a bit less complex and science-y and a bit more... natural. 

That the right words in the right place at the right time can cause something phenomenal to happen.

Then again, that's really just what Edd (and a few other of my characters) use. I haven't developed other characters enough to deterimine their kinds of magic, and I'm sure that when I eventually write the story, there will be many different kinds.

But the idea of bending the universe around you to make something happen is the idea that appeals to me the most, for some reason, and that's where my magic comes from.

That's it.

Time to turn on Red and let Kairi rant at me.
