[quote=@GreivousKhan] On a unrelated note, odd you feel magic would not need preparation. The most popular form of magic settings, low magic (and even higher magic settings) often require long rituals and at the very least arcane incantations. Which is what I always felt the idea of preps originated from. It can easily translate to non-magic, as the language is loose enough that loading a shot into a chamber of a gun and knocking the hammer would technically count as a prep. [/quote] Here is where you state that the 'most popular form of magic settings' whatever that means, requires long arcane incantations. You then suggest it translates to non magic, suggesting that you believe all abilities should work under the same system, which might as well mean you're saying all abilities are magic, in this argument. Also, from a cursory glance at the -original T1 Eden Era ruleset- no mention of higher level magic at all, so argument still stands, as you insist on having a formal argument apparently, rather than a chat. Jeez. Also, something I missed the first time, did you know T1 also insists you should write in present tense? That's depressing, it also feels illogical to me as you're reporting attempts, rather than saying it as it is, but hey ho writing fo-sho.
