Remilia the >Elder always believed that was why her turning went so wrong (well, >that and you're not supposed to turn relatives in the first place, >though there's little real evidence that that part isn't just >superstition). > >The vampires of the Scarlet line have their own innate magical >potential (hence, for instance, why Remilia the Younger can fly even >though her wings are not, strictly speaking, aerodynamically useful), >and their mother's theory was that this conflicted somehow with >Flandre's own magic and broke the process. None of this was very >well-understood in 1520, of course, and even less so now that vampires >are nearly extinct, so we'll probably never know for sure. >For some reason, I had parsed earlier mentions of Flandre's magical potential as, well, just potential. It seems like magic is something witches grow into (as the parent of 2 small children I can't imagine how civilization could survive toddlers with supernatural destructive powers, their normal destructive powers are more than a handful already) so I guess I misread whether she had 'come of age' in that respect. >... although as Talar Kem, the Jedi Master who contributed to the >founding of Katsujinkenryƫ, once put it, "The Force gets >funny ideas sometimes." :) > Does anyone else feel like a very ominous sort of box has just been opened somewhere? Though I suppose that shouldn't be surprising, G has existed under a permanent Chinese curse since a fateful encounter with a nigh omnipotent computer program.
