magic info-gathering

[warpandweft]

So! Alucard's special skill is that he is able, roughly speaking, to see magic even when it's not actively being performed. He can see whether or not someone has magical abilities, he can see the after effects of spells even if there isn't actually any visible evidence of them, he can see spellwork and curses and natural sources of magic. They all show up as different colors to him (for example, his world's version of inherent magic in people shows up as auras of green and blue) depending on what the context is.

Because of that, this is a small information gathering poll to determine what Alucard might see when he looks at characters who have something to do with magic (in an ongoing way).

<b>character name</b> <b>what sort of interaction do they have with magic?</b> i.e., are they a mage/wizard/magical being themselves? are they affected by magic in some way? do they carry magical items on them regularly? <b>if they've got magical talent themselves, please describe their abilities in as little or as much detail as you'd like:</b> (this helps me determine what colors Alucard might see their aura as <b>if they're affected by a spell or carry objects affected by spells, describe those too:</b> also, please let me know how comfortable you are with Alucard being able to figure out what those spells/curses/what-have-you do. Given that it's not his native magic, I'm fine with him being unable to decipher any of it, having him be able to vaguely guess, or being able to completely figure out what's going on as necessary.

thanks!

character name Katie
what sort of interaction do they have with magic? She is a magical being! She's one of the fae and glamour is her lifeblood. She'd register as startlingly magical. She also uses magic and has one (1) magic item, though that usually stays in her quarters.
if they've got magical talent themselves, please describe their abilities in as little or as much detail as you'd like: Katie's magic is playful and largely based in exploration-- a lot of it is travelling, whether by long/high jumps, passing through walls, or outright teleporting. She can also heal people, hurt people by reversing the healing magic, trick someone's senses for a few seconds, and track people down. If it helps at all, I can tell you that in her own natural habitat, magic/glamour is often viewed as a golden light kind of deal by those who can actually perceive it. Her ability to see echoes is inherent to the fact she sort of exists on two planes at once, so I don't know how/if that would register.

if they're affected by a spell or carry objects affected by spells, describe those too: Katie is under a geas which affects all pooka, in which they can never tell the outright truth without a price. Which is usually pain. It's a geas that's been around for hundreds of years, so... IDK if he can sense that or not? I don't mind if he can.

My other character(s) are completely normal. \o/
