    With how long Sister 3 took and what with the major status quo upset that happened in the Fate of Magic part, I figure that after this, Dan might have another Q&A session. This is for keeping our potential questions in one spot and so we don't forget any.

    My question would be when Catalina kissed Elliot, did people whip out their cellphones?

    I think that he was mistakenly assuming that Tedd had just been making the watches by using the gauntlet to enchant things with copies of the TF gun's spells (but in Earth magic instead), instead of, y'know, reassembling the fabric of reality with his mind. Tedd also made the same mistake...and it sounded like the more reasonable assumption to the point where nobody would guess the latter if they had no idea of it existing.

    Hmmm, probably the most likely option all things considered. Edward just didn't realise his child was making wands.

    Arthur Arthur is nothing if not pragmatic. For all that he seemed like a bad guy now and then, his ultimate goal has always been the preservation of the human race as it stands, through whatever means he found necessary. Plus, giving Tedd a laboratory run and funded by the DGB means that HE can personally supervise the research, giving him authority over her and putting him in a position to threaten or seize her research if he felt it necessary.

    Why would he ever do that last bit? Tedd's trustworthy with this sort of thing, and has Edward to vouch for him on this.

    Pandora: 117

    You know, it's amazing how impactful Pandora has been when she appeared in less than 10% of the comic.

    Cheerleadra: 96

    Why is Cheerleadra separate from Elliot?

    Anyway, my point is that Magic, in a sense, is like an Immortal that's never reset or refreshed- it's so much more powerful that it has... considerable trouble seeing humans as worth caring about.

     

    If that's the case, then why bother with asking Seers for a human perspective?

    Tedd may enjoy having just won the argument, and she's passionate about magic being available to everyone, but what she doesn't seem to realize yet is that she just became arguably the most important human being who has ever lived.

    Just think about it. Empires, religions, and political ideologies have all changed the course of human history in unimaginable ways, but Tedd isn't just some empire-builder, prophet, general, or political thinker.

    He's essentially the equivalent of someone who convinced God to change the laws of the universe, or if one prefers a secular example, arguing with "Physics" and being pretty much the sole reason it was "convinced" to change the rules and now everyone is a superhero.

    Imagine someone won an argument with the concept of gravity. That's basically what Tedd did right now.

     

    Found an interesting quote on facebook, and thought I'd share it.

    Also, it's not like it would be logistically POSSIBLE to teach everyone magic even if someone would decide so: not enough teachers.

     

    That's what the Seers are for, though I concede that's only after a severe change.

    I'm calling it now: Magic is an advanced AI running on a computer system on an upper level of reality. It has a pre-programmed set of parameters for the task it was built to perform: give humans "supernatural" abilities based on their personality and desires, monitor the results, and trigger the "change procedure" when magic reaches a worldwide exposure level above X. It's been programmed to read these qualities from humans, and this is in fact the only way it can perceive the world and how humans (and Immortals, and other magic-users like the Griffins and maybe the Uryuoms) interact with it.

    Instant percentage-based calculations (seemingly on-demand with zero latency), talk of spells being given to humans as part of an "automated flow".... just little bits and pieces of how Magic has been speaking.

    I'm pretty sure that's been brought up before.
