[OOC: do you think that you could edit that one slightly? the thing is, Rett is convinced that things like magic and gods do not exist. it's almost an obsession with him. i think that Rett's attitude after this incident would be that he would believe that the power came from Kugal. I'm sort of building towards a sort of subplot here, in a way. Rett believes that all power comes form within, and that spells and rituals are just a way for the weak-willed to learn to believe in themselves, whereas Kugal believes in magic; he thinks that magic comes from outside, from gods and things.

what i had in mind was that the contestants at the GT could all have their abilities swung one way - either Psychic, like Rett, or Magical, like Kugal - and that, by working as a team, Rett and Kugal can defeat them by using their weaknesses. but then they would discover that the prize can't be shared, so they would have to compete against each other. this would basically become a battle between the different views of their abilities [even though the truth is a combination of the two, rather like that taught by Keris]. i had a few ideas for things that could happen in and after the battle, but i think i'll keep that to myself.

what do you think? i know you probably had this sorted out in your mind, but do you think we could work that into it? it would become quite important to Rett's mental development.

anyway, just edit the post, so that Rett still doesn't believe that it came from some kind of god. ta.]
