Touched by Vorlons: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', Immortals can imbue a person with subtle magical abilities and start them down the road to more magic if they have a strong yearning for something or if they have an affinity for something specific. They can also unlock a person's natural latent magical abilities to be able to start getting access to and using explicit spells. Mainly by giving [[Power Tattoo]] that grants one spell to someone who had any sort of affinity to it, even if normally the user could never acquire it. Actually having power to ''use'' a given spell is another matter, but straightforward channeling of raw power into a magic user also falls within "[[Alien Non-Interference Clause|empower and advise]]" limitations; in the continuity it was only used once, to boost a "summon [tiny familiar]" spell into "summon [small army]" (which also dazed the newly baked magic user enough to think using it this way was a good idea, but since no actual harm to him was done, it's still considered "fair game").
