Heyo, random ask, is the magic in Bloodborne Magic actually magic magic or pseudo-science magic? Was there pre-existing magic that was further experimented with, or something sci-fi in basis that adopted the nature of magic?

Hello, my anonymous friend! Thanks so much for the ask!

Bloodborne Magic’s “magic” is more along the lines of pseudo-science than supernatural powers. Characters gain powers by becoming infected with various strains of…basically steampunk nanobots. Depending on the strain you get infected by, you’ll get a different power, and a different negative impact on your health. For example, Saminai can talk to animals, but the infection also attacks their respiratory system.

The steampunk nanobots were originally intended to be used in medicine. Some people who were treated with them started developing strange abilities, like precognition and remote viewing. Once that happened, scientists started developing strains specifically to give people powers.

You reminded me that I should make a Bloodborne Magic magitech powers post sometime soon. Thank you!

Re: Bloodborne Magic, the title "King" for the Fleet's ruler is a little too gender-specific. Many folks of many genders have been in charge. So I'm going to be changing the title to "Sovereign" until further notice.
