Please vote. Taze had requested magical powers.

Perhaps Taze could specify an ability she wished to have that she believes she needs magic to do and I can explain a logical scientific way to carry out that same ability. There is only a few magical abilities that cannot be scientifically explained through either already existing cases or futuristic science and even scifi is aloud but simply explain it. It does not matter if it is possible or ever can be obtainable or possible for us in real life because scifi can theoretically happen. So my vote for this reason is no. If someone diagree's feel free to list abilities of magic that you think you need and I will give you those same abilities through a scientific explanation and here is a neat deal you can copy and past my explanations and use them in your profile and on the rare occasion I cannot come up with a scientific explanation for a specific ability then I will make that one exception.

Was it me that requested this? Well, I had on my old account that Taze could see the future. Like premonisions. Did I spell that right? Anyways, that's all that I thought that would be cool to have. But in the movie Selene was seeing the past. Not the future. I just thought that would be cool to have. That's my opinion. Or even some thing like being able to see ghosts. That would be intresting.

I voted no, and the reason is that Taze stated to see the future. That's more of an NPC job, because if a real character (PC) does this, then it could be used to God-mode. Say they're in a battle, they could say that they had a premonition about seeing the attack before-hand and knowing exactly where it came from. For the person who attacked, that's completely unfair.
Then again, I can't really see why, beyond battle, you'd want that skill. In my opinion, it would just get annoying if you were running around to the other characters yelling "OH YOU'RE GONNA DIE IN 3 YEARS, 2 HOURS, AND 7 SECONDS!" You know? [/center][/size] |

Okay. I love magic and everything like that as well, so I hate to say this.... but no!
Okay, once you start introducing magic, people think that they are strongest because of the fact they have magic. Plus it gets messy with the posting and stuff.
And as well, this is based off an Underworld site, so I think this time it would be better to keep it just straight to the underworld history.
The reason people could 'see' the past in Underworld is because memories are ment to be able to be stored in your blood and thats why.
Being able to explain things scientifically, doesn't make them any less magical, just more boring!
As far as I am concerned, anything that is something which the entire race cannot do as a whole... such as the entire race being able to summon water and use it at willl, instead of a single being, just makes things messy.
(I so can't believe I am saying this! What was I thinking)

I guess everyone has their own saying of what they think should be good or not. But yeah. It would probably screw every one up to have magical powers. But I only let Taze see the future on my old account. Cause I had asked Selene & she said that it was ok. But I hardly ever used her ability. Unless it was a thread that I thought it was needed. And I was role plying with some one that didn't mind to see the future for them. But if you guys say no. Then it's ok with me^^

Well, you know, I used to have Shiryu kinda control the wing before, but I used that against NPC stuff, you know. I prolly didn't even get into much battles. And I prolly won't now, considering that I play the son of one of the strongest vampires and one of the strongest dhampirs to have existed  |

Being able to explain things scientifically makes all the difference. Magic means doing something out of thin air. Science means you can at least explain it thus given it reason to exist. If you can explain how your shooting me with fire from your hand in a rp then well ok what ever. If you cannot and can automatically engulf me in flames just....well because you said you could its god modding. So regardless of your beliefs in the world of non god modding rp forums where rps are not rped personally so everything has to be written out and explained.....explanations are kind of important, thus scientifics makes all the difference even if it is scifi which can be considered magic to some only you are able as I said to explain it with some reasoning.

The one that prolly have the "magical ability" is prolly Dranconlurs because they can shoot fire, and fly. you know? but personally, I agree with Nos because its like godmodish. It caused a lot of problems before. And regeneration.... idk if I want to take that away too. And This is a new beginning of UR so like I changed a lot of stuff basically. OMG I GOT A NEW PHONE WOO. okay random xD
