#of magic

Jayce and Viktor are paralels to Orpheus and Eurydice and I will not elaborate any more than that

holding up the stone which conceals the bruised half of Adam’s face + half of Blue’s face… something about them not being honest with each other because they don’t want to shatter the feeling of escape

i like to imagine that most sorcerers have to take from the earth or from the aether in the world to cast their magic, via incantations or conductors like staffs etc. but since merlin is a constant source of pure aether, he's able to cast powerful spells or elements without the need of another catalyst. he's just that good tbh
