#chamrcaster

So I've been wanting to make a post about this for some time now, and after seeing this post by @bringmechilifriez, I've decided to finally write it down.

I totally agree with the post above, and wanted to add my over 4 month old draft. .

So in " where the magic happens", Gwen explains to Charmcaster what Mana is.

On the wiki page it's stated as an error in the episode but,

I don't think Charmcaster actually knew what Mana really was. Like she knows the name, but to her it's magic.

If I remember correctly Gwen also had to explain to her what an anodite is ( could be wrong, it's been a while since I've properly seen the episode)

If you still don't believe me when I say charmcaster doesn't really know about mana, here me out.

In " in charms way", when Kevin says Gwen's made of Magic she questions it with an attitude, as though she couldn't believe it.

It's like she genuinely has no idea what anodites are, even though they both use the same energy source.

Which is pretty weird if you think about it.

Further going back to the classic series, yes I know the anodite theory didn't exist then buuuut if we headcanon some Canon, Gwen could utilise the staff at the age of 10 while hex said only a master magician could use it.

And if anything it was a shocking moment for him when she could.

I headcanon it was because she was an anodite so she already had the power to use the staff whereas someone like hex who isn't a true anodite needs years and years to master the weapon.

My point is, it's a little weird to me how hex and charmcaster don't know much about anodites but their whole lives revolve around mana.

Also if charmcaster knew about anodites, she would've guessed that draining Gwen's magic wouldn't really do anything to her. Maybe temporarily rid her of her mana, sure, but it would've eventually come back. Gwen's an anodite, like Kevin said she's made of Magic. If charmcaster really took away all the mana in Gwen, she'd be dead.

Going off on @bringmechilifriez 's headcanon, i agree that anodites originated from ledgerdomain, but I headcanon not everyone inherited the spark.

Those who didn't use loopholes like spells and such to manipulate mana, create rock monsters and such whereas it just comes naturally to anodites.

I mean Verdona and Sunny just stood in place and snapped their fingers and things were happening. Charmcaster and hex cast spells, plus not once did they shed their skin for some sort of reveal.

Those who did inherit the spark , eventually left to live in a new place called anodyne. Why? Classism.

The " rich and powerful" chose to live away, the don't need to stay in ledgerdomain to be powerful, they already are.

Those who didn't remained back in ledgerdomain because their human bodies can't handle living in space.

Now why don't the people back in ledgerdomain not know about anodites? Could've been an erasure in history.

Maybe adwaiytta didn't want them to know about it, maybe they posed a threat to his rule so he decided to keep them away from anodites, less powerful beings for him to fight?

So over time , he either removed their memories about anodites or it had been so many centuries since they that people just naturally forgot or considered anodites a Myth.
