Im A Mess

More incoherent ramblings as I try to justify my character’s backstory, here we go! ~~~~~~~~~

As we know from the introduction we all play through, the spiral is a collection of magical worlds. Well, mostly magical worlds at least. See, while the myriad of diverse worlds that make up the spiral all have magic, the one we are most familiar with is completely lacking in it. I’m talking, of course, about Earth. But why is our home sweet home so devoid of magic? Why are we the single world that is absolutely, completely without it except in extremely rare circumstances? I have something of a theory, though I haven’t played through the entire story so it may fall apart a bit in later stages of the game. But bear with me! 

Balance wizards have always been more understanding than wizards who have trained in different magic. They can see connections and truths where others cannot. It is most obvious in the feuds the schools tend to embrace far too wholeheartedly. 

Storm against Myth. Both are inventive, curious. One focuses on the present, on surviving and making a mark and hitting the most, on being the best they can be in any given moment. The other focuses on the past and future, their visions and studies guiding them. Both summon the most creatures of legend, neither knowing just how similar they are. 

Ice against Fire. Both are passionate, as well as in tune with their own emotions. One focuses on struggling to restrain themselves, on channeling their feelings into energy to keep moving, to take as much damage as they can before they give out. The other focuses on expression, on making sure to never bottle anything up, and using it to hit as hard as they can when the need arises. Both are ruled by their emotions, neither knowing just how similar they are.

Death against Life. Both are constant, unwavering. One focuses on closure, on continuing to exist without fear and making the most of their short time. The other focuses on their existence in the moment, rather than taking in the picture as a whole, on being able to take pleasure from the little things. Both aware of their own mortality and what they can learn from it, neither knowing just how similar they are. 

Sorcerers have, time and time again, reasoned with their fellow wizards, causing them to see their similarities, enabling them to be at peace with one another.
