Magic on Chia isn't nearly as cut-and-dried as it seems. More than any other choice, the choice of 'magic' or 'no magic' in chargen shapes and drives a character, tapping into the fundamental underpinnings of the game's moral backdrop. This page is an attempt to help players get a feel for roleplaying past the dice, for getting a sense of a part of theme that is at once utterly the core of the grand conflict hiding behind all of the history and yet conceptually slippery. It is by no means the definitive answer to the deeper questions - that's left up to the player - but it's a Good Start.

  • Magic on Chia isn't nearly as cut-and-dried as it seems. More than any other choice, the choice of 'magic' or 'no magic' in chargen shapes and drives a character, tapping into the fundamental underpinnings of the game's moral backdrop. This page is an attempt to help players get a feel for roleplaying past the dice, for getting a sense of a part of theme that is at once utterly the core of the grand conflict hiding behind all of the history and yet conceptually slippery. It is by no means the definitive answer to the deeper questions - that's left up to the player - but it's a Good Start. A lot of what's here doesn't really apply if your character isn't 'in tune' with Chia's magic at all, but if you're intent on building a Shadow Touched or Sunkissed alt down the way, or in OOCly understanding the deeper conflict, you might find all of this of interest. For most 'untouched' characters, however, one of the most rewarding bits of roleplay on the grid is discovering the conflict waiting in the wings. Please, read this with that in mind. There are spoilers.
