A jackalope broke it down for me once: “It’s like—we’re all technically magicians, right? We’ve all got magic. But they took it for their name. Imagine acting like you’re the only species who drinks water! Or breathes air! ‘Look at us! We’re the air-breathers!’”
At this point in the writing process, I was realizing how much fun I could have with Shepard and how useful he would be as a character – because he can provide all of this context about the magickal world beyond the World of Mages. And he can also give us an outsider’s view of Simon, Baz, and Penny. And because he’s a magickal adventurer, I can make up absolutely ridiculous stories about his past. Jackalopes! Giants! River spirits!
