Blue Magic is the strangest idea for a magic system I've come across, and at the same time one of the most intriguing. For those of you unaware of the concept, the idea behind it can be summed up as "Experience = Knowledge." If you are a practitioner of the Azure Art, you learn new magical powers by being exposed to them; in most cases, this means a lot of pain as you get blasted time and time again with Fire 3 just to learn it.

As you might imagine, the Turquoise Thaumaturgists are a hardy bunch. And if they aren't when the pick up the practice, well, they better be by the time they're done there training. But a Blue Mage's training is never really over, is it? You're always out there, looking for new powers to learn and experience.

I think that the Cerulean Casters must be the dare-devils among wizards, the thrill seekers. Always seeking anything new to try, whether it is magic or mundane. I think you'd need to be, y'know? Why else would you choose to seek magic through getting hit with it, rather than learning it in a (relatively) safe manner in an academy or something?

No, I suppose there really wasn't a point to this. If you pay attention to Chocolate-Panacea, or TwilightUnicorn, they occasionally mention some kind of game or something that we're working on. I happen to be the afore-mentioned Blue Magic user in the game, so I was just musing on what it would actually be like to be that profession.

Good thing I'm not THAT much of a whiner.

... So are you going to post art? Because that would be cool. On an art site, you know.

Art isn't just visual, you know. Perhaps my lack of art updates on an art website IS the art.

Or maybe I'm just lazy. But I like the first option.
