>Superior in what senses? What sorts of effects could it achieve that Terran magic could not? Certainly putting people to sleep does not seem to be out of the range of various Terran techniques, no?
>Very well - we will be there shortly.
>Go on and change back
>To Rin and Lily: Slight change of plans. Kiku is here at the school now and has discovered a woman in the parking lot who seems to have been put to sleep by Lunarian magic. I think we should take a look.
>Let's go take a look!
>You're not entirely certain, given your somewhat limited knowledge of magical matters. From what you've read, however, you believe a Lunarian magician could perform spells five times as powerful as a Terran mage could with half the effort. One Lunarian mage was said to be the equal to nearly fifty Terran spellcasters. During the Second war the level of magic was a bit closer, more like ten to one, but the edge was still on their side.
>And certainly, both Terrans and Lunarians would have that kind of spell. It seems a rather simple one- in fact, Kiku told you such spells were not hard to learn. Harder to defend against, but not hard to employ. The strangeness of this circumstance would be the fact that it was Lunarian in origin, rather than the type of magic used.
>
Moon magic? Lily blurts as you resume your mundane form.
>
As if we don't have enough ta worry about. Rin mutters.
>Lily blinks in surprise as the three of you set off. "What makes you say that?"
>"The moonfolk came across space twice to attack this whole planet." answers your Rin.
>Lily flutters her wings. "So? That was a long time ago."
>"Not that long, Lily."
>In this time, the trio of you emerge into the parking lot. Immediately you find the hakama-clad Kiku standing by a somewhat familiar looking car. She holds her arm up slightly to draw your attention.
