Skelly rambling about the rewrite au Sun and his magic. wow fork found in kitchen guys should I actually explain rewrite aus magic system or what (I say system like theres any order to whats going on with magic)
So rewrite sun, for all magical standards, is a really fast learner, but hes absolute garbage with actually DOING magic. That uh also not his fault. Magic wasnt made for robots, it exists as a natural force that doesnt vibe with robots at all.
He cannot normally use what we're gonna call "hidden magic" aka no words or hand movements. Because in order to do that you need to think really really hard, and sun CAN think really really hard, but he thinks in code and magic can't normally interpret those like with brain signals or whatever the aliens are doing unless he REALLY messes with the magic a lot snd uses it amd lets it soak into his brain like a really bad sponge. Really let it massage itself in there. Learn all his secrets then blackmail him or something idk. Magic can eventually adjust, but man does it take a while (thank goodness for mana pools amiright??? Imagine having to take new magic everytime you gotta do a spell- oh yeah thats exactly what sun has to do because his blew up). Sun HAS to at least move his hands around to get stuff done, which means a lot of forms of magic are almost completely blocked off for him (same with anything that requires breathing or specific mouth movements, so a lot of matter manipulation is impossible for him). So this is why he uses fire aligned magic (cant just say "fire magic" bcause thats not really a thing). He can't do anything else unless he uses runes
Runes are the most awful thing to use for regular magic, because they're SUPPOSED to be used for long term magic like barriers and whatever so that magic users dont have to constantly keep them up, but using them for traditional magic means you gotta have one on hand, which means getting your hands on all the fossils, herbs and very specific carving tools to make em, and if you screw up once, thats like two thousand dollars (if you purchased the equipment, anyway) and five hours down the drain unless you're REALLY GOOD at making runes and can fix it. And even then after you made it you have to hold onto the thing, losing a hand or some storage capacity, and then you have to not break it even heavily scratch it while you're doing whatever. So Sun has to use one of those everytime he hits a wall with his magic, because runes can help bridge the gap and sort of help "think" or "breathe" for sun when he cant or is just dealing with untamed magic. Is it worth it? Probably not, actually.
Despite not being able to control magic very well, magic has pretty good control of him, and it sucks. Being a robot, any curse that manipulates his body is gonna ruin him, because its just that much easier to get a grip on something much less complex than flesh. NSP usually isnt very useful when it comes to forceful commands and whatever, it just works so well on Sun (and the whole family) because theyre robots and its 50 times easier (not accurate but you get it) to control one.
One time Atlas brought sun to some ruined and abandoned religious site to test suns mind against the curses of the area because they tend to just drag people in and leave them stuck in the building unable to leave and unable to figure out what it wants until they die. Atlas underestimated just how strong the magic was against sun and it just attacked him. Now, sun in his endless desire to clean instantly decided that if he was gonna be stuck with a curse so strong that Atlas had to leave him there, than he'd at least clean the place because holy crap thats so much mold and debris everywhere and theres weeds outside and cracks in the walls i have to fix this now.
That is what the curse wanted him to do. He is now friends with a magically living abandoned church its so awesome. Atlas is (was) worried.
Oh also, so you know how sun is a daycare attendant?? And how uh. Hes supposed to make sure environments are safe and FREAKS OUT if they arent?? You probably sidnt because i just now said it, but he HAS TO BE BLIND while he performs magic. He has to do it with his eyes closed or he will freak himself out because of the fire hazard and stop and then. Suddenly stopping a spell is really not good for the body so sometimes he just shuts down for a while and nobody ends up happy.
All thse reasons are why moon quit magic. Being a magical robot is just. Its too much work. Besides, the average lifespan of electronics is like...what 20 years?? And the animatronics dont have it much better, only averaging at about 35 years.
Magic takes a lifetime to learn, and thats if you only worry about one specific skillset. REAL advanced magic takes thousands of years. Sure, being an AI, Sun is very good for his age when it comes to magic, but. Still. Its gonna take longer than jis lifespan to learn anything REALLY neat. Thats why hes sticking to fireball. Yyeaaahhh the outlook on magic for anybody that hasn't achieved immortality is pretty bleak.
Anyway got everything off my chest see you next week
