News and magic

Long time no see, as they say.

We have nothing to say at once, and we have something, even a lot. Firstly, the manuscripts are finally being returned to us (due on Monday, in theory), so we can continue translating, hurray. But there is one hitch, and more about it.

Yesterday Acherus came to us again and talked for a long time about various things, including this one. It turns out that the examination was carried out because they found (sort of) references there to people who use Dragar magic. Neither he himself nor we can say anything for sure until we again receive the manuscripts with the necessary notes. And then we'll figure it out.

Secondly, we decided to ask Acherus in more detail about this very Dragar magic, which he did quite willingly. Much of the information can be found online with a little effort, but he further confirmed and clarified some of it.

1. Dragars use magic as naturally as breathing. This ability has no exceptions - or at least he is not aware of any.
2. Her main problem is control. Sporadic bursts of magic are possible even in adulthood, not to mention childhood, so the main responsibility of parents is to teach the child to cope with it.
3. The main way to control is to accustom yourself to create all sorts of magic using verbal formulas, and not intuitively and at random.
4. The structure of these verbal formulas, although artificial, very well specifies the action that the magician wants to perform, and nevertheless does not go too far with concretization. We won’t cite it, because it’s a lot and complicated.
5. Breathing fire is a lot of fun. Acherus can do this even in human form, which he demonstrated (with a little disregard for local rules, but we’ll skip that).

Something like this, in the end. Looks like we're back to normal!
