Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2465 It's so obvious kid can see it ... well, Arthur would also realize it if given time, he was just shocked by it. Also, "guilt's a waste of time" ... sounds too philosophical for him, did his mother told him that? Perhaps related to some guilt she feels but likes to pretend she doesn't? Also, Arthur offered work to Tedd. Took him much longer than I expected. Seriously, thousand seers is more that they expected, but it's still rare enough to employ any seer before someone else does. Not speaking about the fact that if he would be reading Edward's reports, he should've already realized Tedd's potential. Note: It's not just ticking clocks. If there are some issues in current magic system, DGB is already aware of them and can handle them. Unknown magic system would have flaws which would get longer to notice than just learning how to cast the spells.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2461 Arthur: "Isn't that just what we've been saying"? ... yes, it is. It's just translation. (As we were already talking about in forum for previous comic.) Arthur's "What" on end is also good, although I predicted facepalm. (Commentary:) Shark's sensing magnetism is relatively normal kind of sense. Let's look at something harder: Imagine AI which only perceives world through the changes of frequency of specific words in news. (Unless you work in Google, then you don't need to imagine.) Magic might be more similar to this, having most information about world from what spells will people desire and how are they using them ... like, if there is epidemic, it doesn't see lot of sick people. It senses lot of people suddenly wanting healing spells.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2450 Ok. The second purpose of seer is no big surprise: seers are supposed to help with planning the magic change and we still don't know how exactly. Little surprise is how wordy the will of magic suddenly is. Also, new info - only seers who have used magic are eligible ; this may further reduce number of seers who will be asked, in extreme case to one - because while Tedd is not only seer currently alive, he MIGHT be only seer who is using magic. ... not sure how it should prevent exploitation, however the "caught off guard and unprepared" definitely happened so it certainly reduces it ; and it might prevent OTHERS trying to influence the results directly (didn't stopped Voltaire trying to do it indirectly). Also, still looking forward if Tedd will remember this or if he just would be aware of the new system without knowing how. ... wait; If the change is not severe, seers are NOT made aware? BTW, Will of magic, one idea: seers would definitely be less confused if you try something else than disembodied voice - oh wait that might be deliberate. (Do you also think this is like prerecorded and will of magic totally ignores what Tedd is saying until the recording gets to the point of asking question?)
