Questions being asked:
- Could someone who couldn’t use magic circles gain the ability to use magic through hecate essence
- Are Hecate shards canon?(Asked this cause I was confused by a message Vetex made calling them a game mechanic)
Good news for non-magic users in lore. If you’re not strong enough to take on a kingdom with a curse you want, but are strong enough to survive the far reaches(or can just run really good) you can still get magic to help you even the odds! Still probably a nightmare to even attempt to get though you honestly might be better off trying to steal a curse. The cloud curse is an easy target rn.
Personally I didn’t really see an issue with the mc being one of the unlucky mages who didn’t have an ancestor 2 thousand years ago get hecate shards. Cause then it just meant they’d have to get a hecate shard or 2 themselves. Though I guess it makes sense both with the mc already being a descendent of Zeus and the fact that at this point even if the MC wasn’t descended from Zeus being part of an almost 2 thousand year old lineage is probably more common than finding a leftover hecate shard.
