canisters

[A less presumptuous name.]

All magic is is the manipulation of energies not yet identified by our sciences.

[Hypnotic]

I don't think all magic is just Physics magic. Shaping for instances is more like Biology Magic whilst Alchemy is more like Chemestry Magic.

[Alorael at Large]

But biology is a subset of chemistry, which is a subset of physics.

Not if one of the students has a gun. Take lead for lunch!

Anyway, I was wandering if the essence inside the canisters was there to participate in the total reconstruction of the body; this would determine weather or not the whole body would be changed or not and therefore, if it is, would be a genetic characteristic; so surely a transmittable phenotype.

And one thing:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Ahh, physics. I can't wait to study you.

Manipulating energies to bring together particles and give them the inertia we call life is surely physics.

But is Biology is a subset of psychology and physics?

 

In others words Master you meant that change is life?

[A less presumptuous name.]

No, I meant that manipulating energies to create life would be physics.

[Shaper Tristan]

-suspend your logic here-

 

i can think of only a couple of things of how shaping works, when a shaper makes a creation he pushes certain energys into it to manipulate its genetic code and therefore produce a different creature.

 

perhaps it works by forcing energy into the atoms and forcing them to go to a higher level, thereby influencing creation.

 

-remember to pick up your logic before you leave, shaper tristan is not responsible for lost and/or damaged logics.-

If we had to describe it, I would do it as follows: Shapers channel a type of energy known as essence into matter, either from the air or some other source, and cause it to fall into order. The energy then "jump starts" the new body, giving it life.

[Drakon Sssharxx]

As I understand it the shapers release essence which is the basic building blocks (tiny quarks or something like that) and provides them with the right energies to combine and lock together with each other to create the protines that cells are made of. From here they combine cells to build organs and organs to create a body. From this point they jump start the body so that it supports itself and there I believe it would develop like a normal baby's conciousness in a more adult body. To counter this I presume the shapers also infuse certain inteligences and expiriences and share them with the creation in order to speed up brain development and instill the basic subservance that creations display in the solidity that it is like they have known nothing else other than serving. At that point the shapers order the creation to do their bidding.

[A less presumptuous name.]

That's really similar to what I said. The only difference is the source of the matter, which isn't really a big deal unless you really want to go into minutia.
