[center] I have to look at these on closer detail, but a response to greenhorn's questions:

Yes, there are humans that originate from Lucis. They actually hold about 15% of the world's population (not including animals). The same thing stands for "other races" being found on Earth (about 7%, up until twenty years ago, they were hidden and only existed by myth or legend). There are humans on Earth that can use magic, though they are much more rare and have less capability than any other race. Essentially, magic does equal magic, while Earth is generally technology, though there will always be exceptions. [/center]
