Essential Material: Pseudo Magic Circuits
🕑 Added 2018-12-25 19:42:48 +0000 UTCPseudo Magic Circuits [Term]
The apparatus utilized by Taylor Hebert as a means of enacting her powers are what might be called Pseudo Magic Circuits. They are the artificial organ through which magical energy is channeled in her body, and thereby also the means by which she fuels her Installs.
Unlike the true Magic Circuits of a magus, the nature of Taylor’s Pseudo Magic Circuits is closer to a muscle, which can increase its functionality through damage and self-repair, than a nerve, which can become more efficient through repetitive use but is unable to repair itself when damaged. Rather than having a set load capacity that cannot be increased, these may increase their load capacity after reaching a certain level of stress and then being allowed to recover.
However, contrarily, because Taylor herself has little control over them, throttling the amount of magical energy which is passed through is difficult. Furthermore, unlike true Magic Circuits, they are unable to connect to magical foundations engraved upon the World.
This is because these Pseudo Magic Circuits are only imitations of the real thing and are more like extensions of Taylor’s Corona Gemma and Pollentia, therefore what Taylor is connecting to are her passenger and the magical formulae stored within her passenger every time she calls upon the power of a Heroic Spirit. Even were she to activate traditional magecraft without the use of an Install or Include, the actual act of injecting magical energy into a magical foundation would be performed by her passenger.
Taylor herself possesses no inborn Magic Circuits.
