Maeve had the training of Dim Dim so maybe she has some sort of 'headstart' among the non-magical.

So you mean the difference between those who can learn magic and those who can't is the ability of accepting it within oneself? I am asking because there has to be a difference not only between poeple like Bryn/Serendib and poeple like Maeve, but also between them and normal mortals like the guys.  And well, real life is a totally different matter anyways. I'm not even sure if I shall believe in magic at all - even though it for sure would depend on how you define magic. |

maybe maeve had some magical ancestor who was magical? The magic probably remained dormant for generations. It wasn't until maeve sought revenge on rumina until, with Dim Dim's help, that she was able to tap into the magic that lay within her. This unlikely though since we don't know anything about her. I'm just mulling around ideas... And maybe since sinbad tapped into a bit of magic, maybe it was because of his mother. we never knew much about his mother and she came back from the afterlife for him. Or maybe it was the rainbow bracelet storyline thing... Sorry. Just letting my imagination getting away with me..  |

In the show, Magic was taught to Maeve. And she inside herself has the ability to accept it. That what makes her different from Bryn and the others. Bryn already has it, she just has to control what she already has. Bryn at the same time is limited with the ability she has. If she wanted to widen it. Then she has to learn and in this case she will be like Maeve. I think that even Firouze can learn magic ;D. Because I see it in the show as a learning matter. About real life, well I believe that magic exist. But I don't believe in its benefits. There were too many historical facts that refer to practicing magic since the dawn of history. Even ancient Egyptian depend more on Magic. But sorceress began to use it in the wrong way and abuse its abilities. So it became forbidden, even in heaven books. |

Just letting my imagination getting away with me.. @thea: I think that nothing was mentioned in the show about the origin of Maeve's magic but it was learnt be Dim dim. so it's open to imagination. and your assumptions are are very good. You even can make a plot like that.  I think that electra11/rumina mentioned something like that in her story. When she made Maeve from a family that had a magical history |

@thea: Aw, don't be sorry. In fact I like your ideas and have in some points been thinking the same already. Maeve could have had an ancestor with magical abilities, aya. And that would explain why she holds it. As for Sinbad: yup, I was thinking about Mala, too. But according to my bio (which still isn't up completed  ) she's been a normal woman, a mortal with no special abilities so I'd not go for that version. But the rainbow bracelet might be a good explanation. Given by a sorcerer and connecting poeple through magic, it might be that they enable those who wear them to use a little magic themself (if they do not already hold it like Bryn that is). alex: Hum, so maybe we - as in: the whole board - should really discuss on it then. Because I personally do not think that magic can be learned by everyone (and am talking of the show now  ). I instead would think that you have to have the magic within you already - like Bryn and Serendib - or at least have something *cannot find a good name/description for it* that enables those poeple to learn and use it - like Maeve did. That's what I personally think / what impression the show gave me. And about RL: Aya, true indeed. Magic has been part of stories and legends and history for centuries. Still I personally do not dare and judge on that one.
Hum, Rumi's story? *recalls* Right. In her version Maeve was born to a family of druids. Or at least her uncle was one. Which was quite interesting because that one made Maeve's magic be of a natural kind, too. And it was the druidal magic she held within, while she had to start and learn the other kind of magic that DimDim taught her. Which is quite interesting because it divides magic into different kinds. |

And ancestor might be the best way to think of Maeve's ability. As Druids were a big part of that areas past before the Romans, Saxons, Normans, ect came and conquered it.

So we should maybe ask Maeve and Derm what they think 'bout it. |

I think that electra11/rumina mentioned something like that in her story. When she made Maeve from a family that had a magical history Yes, from the druids family if I remember correctly... I think that Maeve and Dermott should have some magic pedigree. Even though because they both can talk by telepathy with each other. Serendib has natural skills cause she could use her power even if she has never learn how to do it. Maeve doesn't have natural abilities, that's why she had to learn how she can use her power. Moreover, If Dim-Dim thought simple girl (Maeve) the magic, why Doubar and Sinbad would not be thought? I think that master would teach them as well... |

So aya, Maeve must be different to the guys. She has to hold some magic inside her of already that DimDim can train. And aya, the ancestor thing sounds to be the most logical explanation for that one. |

Exactly  In my story Maeve has magic celitc-aristocratic pedigree ;D In chapter 4 she will relate to Sinbad how Bryn, Rumina and Turok murdered her family... By the way I wanna ask you if there is something in show what make us sure that Dermott is Maeve's younger brother?? |

@kriss: No, this has never been said in the show. But an interview that Jacqueline and/or Ed Naha (dunno: either it was one of them who said it, or even both of them in their respective interviews) gave told us so. And, hehe, I personally always thought Dermott was the elder one, but then I had to learn that he in fact was the younger sibling. xD |

So, since it was not said in the show, Dermott in my fic can be older  ;D ;D |
