Alice Grove MCDLT - MAY 2017
KevxD:
No update this week?
BenRG:
Nope; Jeph was at a convention in Vancouver.
brasca:
I thought as much, but usually we get a note informing us of this.
Method of Madness:
I dunno if I'd consider her a witch, but (and I know I've said this several times), I still don't think she was created.
derech:

Yes but there is a difference between innately and inherently being able to harness natural forces via paranormal manipulation, and using tech to accomplish something like it or that works the same. Others may not be able to tell tech from magic or the opposite, and perhaps even the user wouldn't know. If somebody knew or could find out the mechanism, they'd know though. Short of absolute indistinguishable where the difference couldn't be told, or where the method was some blend or mix, it's one or the other. (Blend/mix, imagine perhaps something like being able to collect and create power and effects from high frequency sound waves by a normal natural ability they'd evolved into, or somebody building a tool that draws upon nodes of tri-folded inter-dimensional magitrons to power it.)
With Alice IIRC she's not done anything that has appeared to be magical, it's been physical. Not very witchy. Age and wisdom and control-wise, perhaps the term fits. Maybe her demeanor. She's not really claimed to be one, but maybe she is. Gavia's tech has appeared to be tech, biometric, created, limited, removable and addable. What Ardent is doing seems more like magic. Whatever it is, as far as anyone knows, it's tech. Yet why not tech created by magic. Or the opposite, magic created by tech that looks more like tech so far. Perhaps it's both Although content-wise not many could well argue this story has been fantasy and not sci-fi.
