For some reason, I'm liking how Radic's hands are folded in the third-last panel.
Oh, and Dusk Eclipse, I fixed the TVtropes entry you wrote - it was pointing back at the main page.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Aww, Symmys!
EDIT: Ugh, Iris (Saphrin's hawk familiar) doesn't have the correct hawk plumage. Most of them have barred belly feathers of a different color than their back and wing feathers. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to do some research and see which bird of prey she shares the most similarity with.
EDIT (again): Iris is either a Nankeen Kestrel or an American Kestrel. She's probably an American Kestrel, though unfortunately I don't think I can draw the barring in her model. This also means that she's technically a falcon, not a hawk.
I promise to draw my birds of prey and other animals with more accuracy from now on. I'm really kicking myself for the flub. (And even if you didn't notice, I want to be accurate for my own sake).Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2011-09-24 at 07:30 PM.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Well, then, one thing that'll show up from now on on the TV Tropes page will be "Shown Their Work". (Murphy's Law: what happens when two dozen Tropers get together.)

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Yep! I'm really trying to show my work here, incorporating science wherever I can, even in a world with functional magic (and even that follows a slightly modified form of the scientific method). It's annoying though, since I'm only a freshman in college, and I only know enough to know how much I don't know. Which makes me want to learn even more. Also, I'm a biology major, not a physics or chemistry major. Really, I know I should stop spending so much time teasing out every little detail in Aequar, but...

Don't worry, Coffee. You're not the only one with these urges. It's common among the sciencey people who have a creative side.
Great. Now I sound dirty.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
I have that problem....except I also have this problem where I keep coming up with more magic systems and want to think out all of them, which means I had to come up with a universe to contain all of them, meaning there are like thousands of worlds with many different magic systems in my universe, all of which is explained by an even greater magic system to explain all the others existence.....

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
I get around the 'plan out several conflicting magic systems' by designing ones that are possible to loophole. Thus, if I need a plot device that doesn't fit perfectly into my magic system, I pick a loophole and exploit the heck out of it. Also, it allows me to fit several different magic styles inside each other under the premise of different interpretations of where the loopholes are and in what ways they are exploited.
Case: One magic system uses strings of magic to manipulate objects. Another uses fire. Nothing says they aren't both just using flaming strings.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
I just stress that magical theory is just that: theory. In addition, it only talks about classification of practice. For instance, "divine magic comes from an outside source and is strengthened by willpower. The outside force is generally thought to be a deity" and "sorcery draws power from within the caster and a link has been drawn between spell power and force of personality."
Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
The madwand series (zelazney, i believe) had similar, only it was that each magician "saw" magic in a different way.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
Meh, I mostly bullcrap my way round it by just saying that magic is a form of energy than's used to power stuff, and that it works like most forms of energy.
Although I still get to the nitty-gritty of biology and FTL attempts s, and I can understand having several conflicting settings.

Re: Murphy's Law 7: ...Maybe?
The magic system in Aequar contains some pretty important plot points for both Murphy's Law and the sequel, and that's all I'm going to say about it.
On another note, I've got two prelims on Tuesday, an essay due Monday, and Rosh Hashana starts tomorrow, so no comic this week. Sorry.My webcomic!
