"In his essay 'Magic, Science and Religion,' Bronislaw Malinowski contends that every person, no matter how primitive, uses both magic and science. To make this distinction he breaks up this category into the 'sacred' and the 'profane' or rather 'magic along with religion' and science. He theorizes that feelings of reverence and awe rely on observation of nature and a dependence on its regularity. This observation and reasoning about nature is a type of science. Magic and science both have definite aims to help 'human instincts, needs and pursuits.' Both magic and science develop procedures that must be followed to accomplish specific goals. Magic and science are both based on knowledge; magic is knowledge of the self and of emotion, while science is knowledge of nature." ... so with this man's ideal, anyone is capable of performing magic abilities no matter how primitive they are whether it be mentally or physically obvious. Although it does also explain how Mecs are incapable of learning the gifts of Magic yet they are considered to be at the same level as magic, as they are a product of science. So with this can, a product of both science and possibly magic, one must wonder what sort of effects it can bestow upon the world once released of it's container. I suppose there will be no harm done if I could apply this to myself if there won't be any other volunteers. I should keep this book to the side somewhere. I still need to learn more about this island's origins... there should be a tome or grimore somewhere that would explain things further. I suppose a test around the area would suffice for now. ... hm. How odd. Nothing noticeable yet. ((Reading a book with one hand and spraying the can around himself and everything else. For the pursuit of knowledge, really.))Tags: [saga frontier] blue

What a beautiful day! Surely, today is going to be a magnificent, no, a stupendous day! Aside from the fact that that little gift of perfume, or was it cologne?, that I was given wasn't as good as what I normally use, I can't say I could complain about anything! -- Mm? Nana, stop sniffing at me like that. I know that I must smell odd today, but that's no reason to act like that. We can't waste a day like this after all. ... Really, I'll put you back in your ball or give you to Yellow or Diamond for a while if you don't cut it out. Now then, where was I? Oh yes! Today is surely going to be a wonderful day!
