[ Gathering information will help him in the long run. Especially knowing what sort of darkness or magic is swirling about in this place. Eudio was vastly different. No tolerance for certain things. This place seems to be a bit different. Still the same consequences if one were to step out of line, but a different sort of reaction you could say. Easier to hide in the nooks and the crannies about. ]

I've a question for the wonderful citizens of this cuddly city? What sort of familiarity do you have with magic? Light and dark. Good or bad. I'm curious as to what you lot know?

[ If they know about the Dark One and his weakness. He'd prefer to keep that bit under wraps. Excalibur isn't here and he'd rather it stay away. He's here to cut himself away from the bloody sword. ]

We don't call it 'magic,' but I'm familiar with something called the Force. It has both light and dark sides.

[assailed]

Sounds like magic.

What's it capable of accomplishing?

[ He knows a certain little boy who knows way too much about Star Wars so don't mention Wookie Prisoner Gags or anything. Not that he'll realize. He's still just as clueless. ]

[neutronium]

Mind reading, object manipulation, thought manipulation, some say that stronger dark force users can create lightning from their fingertips.

There is more, I'm sure. But it is not something that is widely used. Only four people are known to possess the power still, to date.

[assailed]

[ Object manipulation sounds familiar. He can do that. So can Regina and Gold. Most magic users can. He hasn't heard of one that can manipulate thought that much. Potions could erase memories. ]

Lightning? Not fireballs?

[ Those he can do. Not lightning. ]

[neutronium]

I've never heard of fire; perhaps it could be done. Though I'd...prefer they not try it.

The one I know has destroyed enough of my ship with his little force-fits.

I guess that depends on what you would consider magic. I'm familiar with a lot of things that most normal people would consider magic, but aren't actually magic. Does that count?

[assailed]

I suppose so. What would you call it then? If not magic.

[duelo]

We mostly call it supernatural...because it is. Magic implies an unexplained or mystical sort of element, I feel like.

[assailed]

Not completely unexplained. Not in my realm. Magic is something that always comes with a price. Light or dark. There's a toll.

Though I suppose we also have an element of what you might call supernatural.

[duelo]

Where I come from, power comes with a price, whether you use your power for good or evil. I imagine it's not quite the same, from the sounds of things, but the general concept makes sense to me. I honestly don't know a lot about the 'magic' in my world; the Druids don't exactly show and tell.

Yeah? Like what kind?

i probably deal with it more than most. were you asking about something specific?

[assailed]

Not really. Asking for people's opinions of it from their world. Run ins. What it's like. Whatever they'd care to share really. I'm not picky.

[huffnpuffs]

an opinion on magic is the same as an opinion on science. it comes down to who's using it, and how.

you read any fairy tales?

[assailed]

[ He's not wrong there. ]

I'm afraid technically I am one. Know a few as well.

[ Please don't be from the Enchanted Forest. ]

[huffnpuffs]

[ ................. ]

no shit.

[ well this just got interesting. ]

sounds like we've got something in common.

The only magic I know about is featured in fiction.

[assailed]

What sort have you been reading?

[fightlikehell]

The Chronicles of Narnia comes to mind. I don't really read that much fantasy anymore.

[assailed]

Never heard of it.

Fairytales? What about those?

[fightlikehell]

Oh? Well, I don't suppose it's near as popular as it once was. And it's a little more allegorical now.

When I was a boy, of course. Those always had magic.

Well, this preacher I know could make people do what he said by just saying things...

He sent me to hell...

I don't know if it's magic. He thought it was God but it wasn't God.

[assailed]

Sounds familiar.

[ Sounds like something the Dark One would do. Now technically something he would do. ]

I'm afraid I don't know what a preacher is though.

[ Enchanted Forest doesn't really have one basic religion. ]

[pureed]

A preacher... it's like a religious leader?

[assailed]

Ah. And he simply sent you to the Underworld on his command?

[pureed]

Yeah... I mean, it wasn't on purpose. He lost his temper because I was telling him that using his power to make people believe in God was a sin.

So, I was kind of stuck there until I came here.
