"That's the hard part to explain or figure out for that matter. Perhaps its just some sort of difference in the brain that allows us to see them."

[Xantalos]

Perhaps. If you wish, there is adequate census data to test your hypothesis.

[Projeck37]

Isaac looks through said census data.

[RangerCado]

Selina looks through some history books, trying to find out how many notable figures actually possessed, or were suspected of possessing magical abilities.

The census data reveals that there is indeed a slight brain abnormality in magic users, though the data and position in the brain seem to suggest a different function than the seeing of faults ... (78) it almost looks like a channel of some sort.

Selina looks through some history books, trying to find out how many notable figures actually possessed, or were suspected of possessing magical abilities.

(96)(you guys get very lucky rolls, it seems)

It isn't necessarily all historical figures that possessed magic, she discovers, but a significant number of successful reformists and such seem to be made up of them. More interesting is the fact that all but one figure in the category of hugely influential had magic of some sort. A pattern of some sort there? Very influential people in fate tend to be magic?

[RangerCado]

Selina looks into future sight books, and prediction. Was everyone with Magic fated to do something influencial?

[Projeck37]

"Hmm..."
Isaac looks into the 'channel'.

[Xantalos]

Selina: (100!) (Huh. Well, haven't had one of those in a while.)
Isaac: (100!) (...nicely done, Random.org. Nicely done.)

Selina discovers that indeed, magic users are far more influential in the skein of fate than others, though not towards one specific goal; instead, they seem simply more likely to have important event occur to them. She also notices something ... odd. Multiple individuals were noted to have done completely nothing of note in their lives before they received magic, and then gone on to run whole continents. Is it possible that its the magic that influences fate and not the person?

Isaac, reading about this channel, discovers some very curious things. Firstly, it develops spontaneously upon the person obtaining magic. Second, it appears that magic users recieve the energy necessary for their impossible deeds from this channel, though no one knows where from. Thirdly, examination of the brains of magic users after death reveals a lack of this structure even though live examination reveals it in the same individual before they died. Odd, that.

[Projeck37]

"How peculiar..."

[Xantalos]

What have you uncovered?

[Projeck37]

Isaac reports his findings.

[RangerCado]

Selina goes up to THE, hoping she was right here.

"M-m-magic i-i-is f-fate... u-used to manipulate e-e-e-events...? And is i-i-its way of doing s-so...?"

[Empiricist]

Victoria listens attentively.

[Xantalos]

You both are close to the answer. Answer me this: what in your findings is similar? What might Selina's findings mean for Isaac's discovery? What could have the means to manipulate the fate of certain individuals and let them do things that are, by the very nature of the universe, impossible?

[Projeck37]

Isaac taps his finger on his chin, trying to piece it all together.
