Infodump panel! Gonna be more and more of these as the story goes on...
This strip is about my understanding of "magic" in the larger sense, but even from a purely functional, story perspective, I'm trying to make magic something specific and unique that won't act as a convenient deus ex machina whenever I get trapped by the plot. It's not Harry Potter, you can't just wave a magic wand and do anything.
So what CAN magic do in the world of Starforce Pentacle? Well, pay attention and you should be able to suss out the rules yourself. One thing it can obviously do is open portals...
Yeah, there's sound in outer space in that last panel, shut up.
