[Henry had been reflecting on things that had happened back home. Things that had happened with Peter Pan, his special heart, all of what happened in Neverland. He was sitting in his bedroom looking over the sword he once believed into existence on Neverland.

If he could just believe a stick into a sword, he wondered what else he could do. He looks into his comics because he's pretty sure he's read about belief powers before. And to his credit he does manage to find something similar to it. Reality warping. Just believing in doing something and making it happen.

He mulls it over in his head for a moment. He's pretty sure he's not able to mess with reality at all. Magic had a price where he came from but the rules seemed to change wherever he went.

So, he goes on the network. If only to ask if anyone knows more about this kind of stuff.]

Do you guys think magic changes depending on what world you're in? The rules I mean. Where I'm from magic always comes with a price, but, is it possible that in other places that it doesn't? Like just believing in something and you can do it?

Magic works very differently where I come from than what I've seen here. Different races of people--humans, elves, and halfbloods, who are a mix of the two--all have different types of magic. Here, there are humans with all sorts of different skills and none of them are at all like what humans can do in my home world.

As for magic coming with a price, I've only seen it happen once in my home world, and that was under a very specific set of circumstances.

See, where I'm from anyone could learn magic if someone taught them how to do it. Didn't seem to matter what you were. Sometimes you didn't even need to be taught it, you could just use other things that did magic. Like wands or fairy dust.

That's very interesting. The idea that one can just pick up an object and use magic is very foreign to me.

Where I come from, having magic means having power. Those born with weak magic are ruled over, and bullied, by those with more powerful magic. And certain kinds of magic are considered so dangerous that the they actively try to eliminate users. Like humans. Many humans have magic of the mind--the ability to read thoughts, for instance--and so the elves, the rulers, have enslaved them and force them to wear special collars that cancel out any magic they may have.

...I don't come from a very nice place.

I can show you sometime if you don't believe me.

[After all, he still has a lot of pixie dust on hand.

Listening to this guy's world, however? Henry feels a bit bad for him.]

I read that a lot in a book of mine. Magic being power. It sounds like it does suck where you live. I'm sorry.
