>>5662640Hahahahahahahaha.
>>5662658You're on the right track.
Okay, sorry about the delay. Had to rewrite things a few times because of changes in votes and didn't want to stifle any discussion, but we are back now.
>>5662625“Two major things, then. You’re saying your people had some innate skill with Magic, right? But from my own experiences, Magic can be learned by just about anyone if they put their mind to it. My mom’s a normal human, my dad’s a Tuffle, and my grandpa on my mom’s side is a martial artist trained by Master Roshi. None of them started off with any significant Magical abilities, yet look at me.” You stand, splaying your arms out a bit. “I’ve learned how to access Magical skills that impress some of the most powerful Demons. I’ve developed my own Mahou transformation. Heck, so has my aunt. So the first thing is, is this supposed innate Magical skill really all you’re going off of?”
Jaki raises an eyebrow at you. “I did not mean to downplay your own abilities, Izumi Mahogany. If anything, what you have accomplished in your rather short time here on Earth makes some of the most adept Magic users of my time seem lacking. And… to answer your question, no. While the capacity to develop Magical abilities quicker than most other humans is common among our people, that was not the only factor in this.”
“You wanna tell us what the other, or others, were?” Hado inquires, mimicking Jaki’s eyebrow raise.
“When you’re ready.” he states flatly.
Not… sure what to take from that remark, but okay. “So, second question: are you willing to share any pointers on with the Mahou of Earth? I’m always looking to improve what I can do in that capacity, and from the sound of things it did seem like it wasn’t JUST their innate skills that got them to such advanced Magical abilities. You training them was probably a big factor.”
“With what you are capable of already, there is little I can share in regards to training methods that will provide significant improvement.” Jaki responds, a bit of a smile on his face. “But I do know one that is most relevant to what your current goal is. If you want to experiment with developing portals, I highly recommend starting small, and to places you know, rather than rush into bringing back those that are lost.”
You raise a finger and open your mouth to say something, but then sit back down. “...Yeah that tracks. Okay, start small.”
