As someone who enjoys playing supernatural and magical characters, even though I love other types... and who has done so fora long time... I have to say I am interested.

I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes. However, in the words of Isaac Newton... "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." I believe this applies. Some things to consider with magic, and what makes it good, vs crappy. Magic that simply solves all problems with the wave of a wand, especially without any rhyme, reason, or explanation is bad. However, something that does make sense, has it's own issues, and takes some kind of effort and understanding makes it worthwhile as a storytelling and RP tool.
I have two main systems that I use for magic, with minor variations, most often. I'd love to compare systems, compare notes, and see if there's something I like better, or put down what I use, and see if anybody else wants to work with it. And of course, how these systems interact.
As @Hound55 said, this is one big sandbox, and anything is possible. It's possible for us to use all systems as well. It could be in a form of a type of technology we don't fully understand, but was understood and known by the Ancients (generic term) and passed down to Earth at some point. For them, their texts and the like are a comprehensive manual base don fundamental knowledge of the universe, and is outside our knowledge right now. Some wizards study to learn those fundamental secrets their entire lives. That's why they got into it. - For others it could simply be a force of nature, or a field that we have yet to fully tap or map out. You could even explore magic from a quantum mechanics aspect. Or it could simply be an unknowable Kool-Aid of some kind, but here's what works, and why. It could be an energy from an alternate dimension, or a dimension we haven't discovered yet. It could be all of them at once? - We can spin them well.
But I think that a collection, a tome.. a grimoire... would be useful for us. So to speak. XD
Long story made short - Hells yeah I'm interested. Sorry for the rambling. It's early and my mind is just .. buzzing I guess.
