>>7523118You ever read Invisibles? Do you remember the part where jack frost is being attacked by agents and in desperation he reads the signs of the city, pulls a hidden message from a broadcast on the TV, channels emotion from the couple having sex up stairs, and temperature from the snow outside and somehow manages to bullshit an Ice spell out of that that freezes everyone in the room then he breaks down crying? That's sorta what mage is like.
