[ It’s a good enough comparison, and it does make the whole thing seem a bit less daunting. ]

Aye, I suppose we can at least do that much. Where I come from, magic comes from the ability to manipulate aether, which is… well, it’s in everything. It’s where life comes from, it’s in the very air, it’s in people.

Magic is still pretty varied. Alphinaud uses it with his book, it’s all channeled through numbers and shapes with him, but Alisaie has a crystal and a sword. Since we weren’t given anything like tools, I’d guess our own bodies are the focus, yeah?
