Hey!! My friend sent me your arts (both on Maleficent/Aurora and Cruella/Anitta ones (sorry, I can’t remember the ship names)) and I love them so much!!
I was thinking about why/how Aurora can perform magic in your AU and maybe it’s a bit more than just exposure to it? It feels to me that a mixture of “radiation” (exposure to magic makes you prone to “radiate” magic too) with “vampirism” (maybe being hit with magic to change colors of your dress or eating cakes that were made with magic makes your body get magical abilities too) and “wizardry” (she can perform magic by studying it and using magical artifacts to power bust her own magic) can be an answer to it
That’s just an idea but the main thing is that I love your art and I’m so excited to see more of this universe!!
Glad You're enjoying the work, thank you!
I actually have it as more like virus/immune system, depends on your own biology, your environment. humans naturally with a very high resistance to magic, normally doesn't go well leads to very unpredictable results when trying to use magic (and in my au, fairies are very reluctant/often refuse to talk about how to use magic with humans as it so often ends in disaster, hence aurora cant just ask her godmothers when she wants to learn about magic) but if you're exposed at a young age/over a long enough period you have less unpredictable results with magic.
(subplot of actually many of the kingdom's people being less affected by magic leading to a reputation of the kingdom of being quite otherworldly ONTOP of the 100 year sleeping curse)
therefore Aurora's kingdom being on the edge of the fairy realm primed her own immune system (and the immune system of her mother) to have the potential to use magic.
still sort of ironing out all the "facts" of this au but this one helped me put some logic into the magic
