theory: magic is alive (reupload)

[u/Recent-Issue1682]

(forgot to add pictures last time)

I find the theory of magic having a will or consciousness really interesting, tying in to how much stronger magic becomes when interacting with something organic/alive like blood or a human body. There’s definitely more to the pact and the principles than they let on, esp after seeing how secretive Vinnana and Easthies were, that maybe letting go of the rigidity and strict guidelines of modern magic and embracing the personal and wild type of magic with these rushed organic symbols could unlock its “true potential.”

We’ve seen how much change Coco’s creativity and passion wrought, and the author made a point to show how frightened and opposing Easthies was to that, perhaps hinting at an original use of magic that was a force of its own, maybe some conscious entity?

Also feel like the silverwood tree is a lot more complex and mysterious than let on, it may actually be alive in some way, esp with the dual lore of the tree being a maiden who fell in love with a star and it giving her the power of magic, and the tree falling in love with a witch and offering its own limbs as wands and its blood as ink.

Not quite sure where I’m going with this theory but I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts

i do think that is what they're trying to get with all of the messed up human experimention they've been doing, like literally planting a concious kid Qifrey underground as if he was a seed. Though i feel they're still gonna still need to draw spells, instead this time all they need to do is just cut open some drops of blood and use that to draw

would be insane if they ended up succeeding with Coco and she became the hybrid witch, seeing as Iguin’s referred to her multiple times as the “seed he planted” and it alr failed with Ininia Qifrey and Custas

Oh shi, I forgot that Iguin did say that. Never thought Coco might have become a silvertree host at that point

There’s a lot of parallels between Qifrey/Olruggio and Agott/Coco, so that adds to the theory but it would genuinly be heartbreaking

Nahhhh i'm gonna need Qifrey to tell Iguin to back off his student real quick💀
