Greetings.

While I've been getting wizard training at the wizard school - which, wow, I never expected to say that - I've been thinking about something lately. Really, it's kind of been on my mind since I got here and talked to some people.

I'm curious. How many of your worlds have magic? What's magic like there? Is it the same here in any way?

How are people who use magic treated where you're from?

Only monsters use magic where I'm from, though monsters where I'm from aren't like the monsters here.

Basically this is scientific curiosity. Or magic curiosity, I guess.

My world has magic though it seems to be quite different from how magic works here. It's rather limited, where I come from, who can and cannot use magic whereas here it's simply a matter of learning to use it.

[It's rather fascinating. Oh and then there was the whale's world which was just as fascinating to hear about--]

The magic and non-magic worlds were kept separate back home. Those of us with the ability to use magic kept it to ourselves and had a world that existed parallel to the non-magic world, I suppose you could say. It..was unfortunate but wizards and witches, and other magical beings, have faced persecution through the years.

[A wizard. They're another wizard. A wizard from another WORLD, sure. Not one who knew what Chara knew, had to go through what they went. But then again, by the sounds of it...it sounds like no matter what world they were on, the wizards and their descendants ended up facing some kind of persecution themselves.

It takes them a moment to respond to Newt's message. When they do, they don't give a video message, but they do switch, at least, to voice.]

...There are wizards where I'm from too. They're very rare, but humans with some magical powers did exist. It was the wizards who helped the humans end their war with monsters in my world by using their magic to seal the monsters away underground.

But then, since the wizards had magic like the monsters, people began to consider that they were only a step away from monsters. And because of that, they and their families should be treated like the monsters had, less the wizards decide to eventually strike against them.

...Humans are....kind of unique in how awful they are.

[Newt can't help but frown as he listens to the story, a thoughtful one but a frown nonetheless. It's..not surprising to hear that beings of any magical nature were seen as something to be feared. Sad, but not surprising.]

Fear of what one does not understands seems to be a common occurrence across universes unfortunately.

[People hunt beasts here just as they do back in his world, for example.]

Humans are a species that build their society on fear, at least from what I've observed. Not all of them. There are those that stand out and are just as open minded as those of us aware of the magical aspects of the world. [Like Jacob.] But fear of the unknown drives them to be very harsh in their judgement unfortunately.

Sure. Not all. But it's enough.

[Chara is quiet for a moment. They need to think, because the only thing they can think to say is undeniably cruel.]

...I can't blame them. Sometimes...fear is something that we need.

But being feared is the worst thing in the world.
