do you believe in magic [cw: truthiness]

[wholeheaded]

Hey folks, Ambrose here. I know the other day Elphaba was asking after magic users to learn stuff from, but I was wondering... does anyone else want to learn magic? Who's willing to teach it? Maybe we should get together and do a big ol'... workshop? Exhibition? One of those things.

[ look he's been in the champagne a bit, it happens. ]

Basically everyone who is okay with teaching their particular stripe of magic can show what it's capable of, and anyone who wants to learn can shop around. We did this once a while ago, sorta, but I think it's time we do it again.

What are the colors in that system of magic? I've heard a few mentioned offhand, but I missed that particular world.

[neverfeltthatway]

The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and rose. Each has their own domain, themes and concepts that they deal with and center around.

Red exemplifies conflict and passion, blood and anger and fire. Orange deals with both humor and danger. Yellow is light and happiness and wealth and jealousy and betrayal. Green stands for life and youth and healing, for nature and hope and envy. Blue magic is storm and sea and sorrow, any spells that involve air, water, electricity, weather, cold, or grief. Indigo is more about magic itself, as well as knowledge and loyalty and wisdom and balance. Violet is illusion and royalty and vanity and ambiguity. And Rose magics are those that deal with love and optimism and relationships, with sensations - but also with compulsions.

And you can learn only one?

Or is it just that it's more effective if you focus in one area rather than trying to diversify?

[neverfeltthatway]

You can only learn one. Once you learn a single colored spell, it is physically impossible to pick up one of a different color.

Then it's not a path to commit to lightly.

[neverfeltthatway]

It is not. I chose Blue magic for a practical purpose, which was soon rendered obsolete by the development of liminal manipulation ii, though I had no way of knowing that at the time. But I'm naturally much more suited toward Indigo magic.

If you have the time, I'd like to hear a little more about the specific strengths and weaknesses of the array of colours, so I can make the right choice if I choose to pursue that branch of magic.

Would you like to meet in person later today, to discuss it in more depth?

[They can keep going on the network if she wants, but he knows what a serious decision it is, so he wants to give it the attention it deserves. Plus, he could demonstrate the magic for her, there - both his own and what he's seen.]

[reallymean]

Certainly. Where are you staying?

[There's just a hint of hesitation there that betrays just how strange she still finds the concept of lasting structures within Liminal Space.]
