strattistician

Hi my name is Eva Stratt and I have long strawberry blonde hair that’s mostly straight (that’s how I got my name) and icy blue eyes like Ryland Grace’s tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Sandra Huller (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!) I’m not related to the concept of strategizing but I wish I was because it’s a major fucking hottie. I’m European but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a politician, and I’m trying to save the world on board a ship called the Gansu which everyone else calls Stratt’s Vat (I’m the dictator.) I’m autistic (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love apocalypse Hot Topic and I get all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a long black coat with oversized black pants, a black button down, a black sweater, white sneakers, and an oversized black coat. I was wearing light makeup. I was walking around Baikonur. The sun was dying so it was snowing and raining, which I was very unhappy about. A lot of copyright lawyers stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

“Hey Stratt!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Ryland Grace!

“Vhat’s up Ryland?” I asked.

“Nothing.” he said shyly.

But then, my other two scientists exploded so I had to send him to Tau Ceti.

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

the-punforgiven

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

the-punforgiven

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

the-punforgiven

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

the-punforgiven

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.
