So, so far we know that each real life entity has a corresponding information body in the information dimension, and that information body can be affected by magic to alter its state in reality. Only Tatsuya can actually "see" in the information dimension and therefore bypass physical barriers at will. While all magicians by definition can access the information dimension to cast their spells, this doesn't mean they can use it as a medium for finding targets. As such, magicians are still restricted by the limits of the human body, and so are bound in distance, and nearly always by need of visual confirmation. Having said this, it’s a rare case that magic can be cast through a physical barrier - while magic is cast through the information dimension, a target still has to be identified in the physical plane. While magic is intrinsically different (radio waves travel through the physical plane, and so have range), some of the concepts are similar.Īdditionally, as magic affects the Eidos of a target directly, physical barriers are not barriers to magic - if the coordinates of an information body are known to the magician, he can target them through the information dimension. Think of something like a walkie-talkie - even though the broadcaster isn't directly next to the recipient, they can still be heard, as the emitted radio signal is referencing a specific point in the distance (the other radio). Hence, magic isn't confined by physical distance. As long as the coordinates of an information body are known, a magician can influence it with magic. Magic doesn't travel through the physical plane, but instead acts directly on the Eidos itself in the information dimension. If you imagine the markdown box as the information dimension, and the post as reality, it’s fairly straightforward to see how magic works - if you edit the text in the markdown box (the target’s Eidos in the information dimension), the post itself (the target in reality) changes to suit the edit you made. When you begin typing a question or answer, you see two boxes - the markdown box, which is where you edit the text, and a post box which shows what everyone else sees. Stack Exchange itself does a good job of representing this. By overwriting the information of an Eidos in the information dimension, those changes are passed through to the physical plane, and affect the target in reality. This is, at the most basic level, how magic works. Anything that occurs in the physical plane will affect the corresponding Eidos in the information dimension, and vice-versa. The two, while different, are inherently linked. Each entity in the physical plane (brick, desk, chair, person) is an information body (or Eidos) that is represented in the information dimension as, funnily enough, information. This is a representation of the aforementioned reality, but not as we know it. This is technically no different to the real-life world you and me are both in right now. This is the world as you can perceive it, reality. All this will now be explained in more detail.įirst of all, magic is an easier concept to consider if you think of things in two separate planes or dimensions: This is a subconscious region of the mind that allows the manipulation of Psions and subsequent construction of magic sequences to alter a target's corresponding Eidos in a certain way. A magician (or magic technician, or magic practitioner) is someone with a ‘magic calculation area’ in their brain.
