I'm surprised that Hope did not make more of White's admission that there really is no such thing as magic.

Ok, suddenly the idea of a terrorist group moving large numbers of people in by land and sea, taking and using government vehicles, using military-grade weaponry, and hitting numerous targets in the same city at the same time to overwhelm the security apparatus no longer feels as fictional....

Haha.
Seems sort of weird coming from her though, especially considering her previous interactions with Viridian.
Where was that? I honestly missed it, been working from my parents computer today.
Visiting for thanksgiving y'know. Probably with everything else, she's kinda distracted anyway, what with Stratos and Medea being so near and the attacks on the city....

When she said that magic was just using dead people souls as a battery for super powers (and then when you die, your soul recharges the battery).
Ah. That's just Viridian's type of magic, not hers or Ms. White's. Hope's magic is directly connected with nature, she's more of a druidish type mage than anything else. At least that's how I read it.
There is a difference. I just can't exactly express it. Hope's powers are inborn, she doesn't have to make deals for power or worship anything or make rituals etc or anything like that. She's like a conduit for the natural magic running through her. That's what I meant by druidish.
With neopagan witch-craft it's more 'magick' than druid-like magic, you know?
I guess a good analogy would be:
It's the difference between someone who can pick up a musical instrument and play well without any formal training or someone who can draw or paint really well vs. someone who learns a tune by rote. What Hope does/has, you can't learn. You can only practice to improve it if you got it.

White did explain the soul thing as part of how Viridian wored, but she also said that "magic" and "spells" are just shortcuts to manipulate existing powers into related actions, but its generally just self-deception. White is good enough at using her abilities that she can repurpose them directly now. No one can use "magic" if they don't have powers of their own.
