It was for a long time, but it's gotten... you know, stronger recently. Plus, everyone's got a camera in their pocket now, so it got impossible to keep hiding, you know?
Um... Pretty much the same, mostly. Where I'm from we're kind of like... dependent on the magic around us, you know? It's not like we generate it or something, we draw it from the environment and then transform it. Most people can only naturally transform it into one thing. Does that make sense? So if we want to do something else with it, or something really permanent, we have to use a ritual or make a deal with a familiar.
So, like a specialty then. You can perform one type of magic, but if you want to branch out, then you need to draw more energy through a ritual or, like you mentioned, a familiar and it requires more concentration.

Do you want to practice together? I really think all of us should get a handle on our powers, you know? Actually have some control instead of letting people fuck with us all the time.
