It just seems that Mandor does not > think so *grin*. This is the thing why iv been arguing with you, it seems that you totally dont understand how magic works and what it is. So i try to give an example so you would get it. First comes a story of gods and past events in majik : The gods in the void, then they create the universe. They do the creation and design everything in it. They design how reality works and they enstablish the fundamentals of magick -that is the act of changing reality. After that comes new gods, species of man, cataclysm etc..etc.. and so on and so on and so forth. Now an example from real life : A group of people stands in an empty room. They decide to enstablish an ant farm. They buy the glass aquarium to store ants inside. They design the whole ant nest, how it works and where the ants are alloved to run. Then they fill it with ants and they live there. And life if beautiful. The gods have similar very firm grip over reality and the way how things work in majik. They are the ant-masters looking down at mortals from behind the walls of the aquarium. And mortals are only small ants running in tunnels which any of the gods could crush in seconds. Not only do the gods control the aquarium but they control the things like "where do the ants get food?" "water?" "light?" "sleep?" "how they manage to live?" etc..etc.. Gods dominate and control just about every aspect of reality. And they dont even keep the reality static. They change the place where from the ants get light, sometimes someone might turn the lamp off, or light a few extra candles. Or they might turn the water off. or maybe someone accidentally bashes against the aquarium and causes havoc. Maybe someone spills beer on it :).. This is one of the resons why humans can never reverse engineer the world of majik. It is so very very very much beoynd anything they can understand, and its IS NOT static, the gods change the ways how it works all the time. Now how can you reverse engineer unknown and alien things that dont even remain the same long enough to be measured? And the fundamentals of true magic, how to really really change reality are totally unknown to men. You see all others execpt the gods manipulate reality (this is magic) by changing the patterns that form reality. The gods do it in entirely different level, they manipulate the rules which patterns are manipulated BY and they can even DIRECTLY manipulate any structures of reality without the need to mess with patterns. No mortal is ever going to reach that level in magical skills. Simply because THE ANTS CAN NOT KNOCK OVER THEIR OWN AQUARIUM FROM THE INSIDE. and the ants can never see the aquarium as do their masters who build it. The ants can never cut of their light source which is a lamp above the aquarium. etc.. etc.. they are only ants not men. only mortals not gods. And besides everything that makes up the universe, everything in the creation is a design by the gods. They con exactly how things work, and they can remove or add things from existence with ease. Humans around the aquiarium can flush it with gasoline and burn it if they like, or they can throw objects inside.. pour more ants into it, squeeze some old ones to death.. etc.. etc.. Was this clear enough example for you? The elder gods who cerated the universe dont even exist in their real foms inside it. They always use avatars. Even their "true form" the same form that is true form for new gods, is just another avatar for elder gods. This is one reason why new gods hopelessly lost the war against their elders. They never had a change to win actually, they just didnt know that. > > Why would the gods protect physical things. why would they care if > > massive amounts of people die or don't.

As yorkaturr pointed out - our cataclysm story supports this idea fully. -mandor
