> Very rarely in fanfic, or even in original manga, do we see characters with any sort of magical abilities talking about their uses. Tokyo Babylon itself contained some explanatory content, but it was usually Seishirou and Subaru explaining things to Hokuto, who had no formal training. This certainly was a new viewpoint on it.
I think it's because authors and fanfic writers alike don't like to limit their options by installing rules for magic, but in my eyes, things have a lot more spice if there are defined boundaries instead of suggested omnipotency.
> I read the .PDF btw, nice idea!
Actually, this sprouted as a spur of the moment, when I had to prepare the slides for one of my own presentations, before I knew it, I already had half of Seishiro's slides designed (hence the pdf). ;)
