<small>[Eddward steadies his hat. Several more gadgets are on his person--some sort of magnifying monocle, some rings on his fingers, and he appears to have a belt with various tools in them. Several books are scattered throughout his personal space.]<big>

Greetings again, fellow Otherworlders! This is Eddward speaking, your astute local paperboy!

At first I was rather off-put <small>[Putting it mildly, are we Eddward?]<big> by our sanctioned migration to Darstone, but I was perhaps mildly hasty in my initial assumptions...

"Magic", as you would have it, functions far more closer to the sciences than I originally thought! I'm no "magus" by any means, but from what I've gleaned from these books--as well as a certain fellow boarder, you know who you are!--the very process in which "magic" is utilized has a very scientific approach! You see, much like the theoretical science of "alchemy", "magic" essentially boils down to equivalent exchange: firstly, the user has an amount of "mana", if you will. Secondly, the desired spell is recited in a specific manner. Lastly, assuming the body has sufficient amount of magical resource and the spell recited perfectly, the desired effects are sprung forth!

This is of course just a generalization, but isn't that exciting!? <small>[Eddward begins to speak in a much quicker, far happier tone than the one he normally carries.]<big>

The magic from my home is...well, it's nonexistent. Maybe. This crossing of the dimensional latitudes has certainly shared knowledge the likes of which we would never have ever fathomed! <i>Isn't that exhilarating!?!?</i>

<small>[Deep breath...]<big>

Hwhew...sorry, I went off on a tangent there.

I believe I may have found a very interesting piece of information. A field test may be in order very soon, so keep your ears and eyes open, ladies and gentlemen!

 

<small>[He still sweats like he usually does.]<big>

[Summoner is just going to sit here and stare at you. Nodding his head and mouth gaped open somewhat.]

Uh-huh. Riiiight.

Now. Why don'cha repeat that for all those of us who do speak whatever it was you were babbling in kiddo.

[Sorry Edd. Summoner is just as good in magic as he is in science. Which really isn't much. And the big words weren't helping. Maybe if the subject were about battle techniques or animals?]

[little_miss_snarker]

You didn't read a lot of fantasy books as a ki--('Wait, he still is a kid.')--when you were home, did you?

[wanderstheskies]

Huh? Magic is like Science? B-but I'm awful at science and really like magic! Am I reading this wrong?

Erm, what are you gather all this information on magic for anyway?

I wouldn't stick too closely to studyin' how magecraft and alchemy boil down, kid.

In my day, magic was a lot less sensible and disorderly than this new stuff.

[No real response. Justin is just smiling lightly at what he perceives as Edd's naivety.]
