Re: Diversity of Magical Tradition
Note ITL34 "A Word of Command may be spoken in the Sorcerer’s Tongue, in which case it will affect any being with a mind (IQ over 2) that hears it"
So there is an underlying "logic" to magic that isn't of human origin.
I'm writing up the how does one become a wizard for my online story that has wizards as young children who are broken so that they are half in the physical world and half in magic. Ergo it takes them twice as long to learn most talents.
I'm tempted to put in a line about two types of failures. The half of all students who flunk out and are ordinary heroes and the one in a generation oracles who flunk in and have zero awareness of the physical world around them. And of the wizards who are taken off oracle transcription duty when they start to see the things that aren't there.
