The Arcane Universe is... pretty bleak ngl

prometheus taught humans how to use magic (or very effective way to use it, i havent read ao lore doc for a while)

What if i’m just built different?

bro is NOT saitama :sob:

uhh… buddy.

aura came from chaos too.

for the 69th skibidillionth time, they are literally the same thing

you know that saitama was literally a normal guy who just trained really hard and became incredible right?

like there’s absolutely no universe where Vetex got inspiration from this because clearly you can’t pull a Saitama in the AU since there’s always gonna be that lucky bastard who found the penis explosion curse or something

dawg the amount (i.e. TRACE AMOUNTS) makes all the difference. they’re both magic energy but aura uses much less magic energy than actual MAGIC. trace amounts of radiation won’t kill you but standing next to a open nuclear reactor will

i am aware, i am the n1 one punch man fan
saitama isnt supposed to make sense though

imagine finding a curse that was created to defeat cursebeard and it just… this one. . . . . . . . . .

wait so you’re telling me that “magic” is a completely separate force from aura

what

what are you yapping about

also, counterpoint: sailorfist users absorb seawater magic energy (which is definitely extremely concentrated there’s absolutely no way this isn’t as pure as the fake water magic mages can create) and they can do insanely strong things so erm clearly berserkers can use this “magic” energy too

basically
aura is just magic but is used in a cool way to beat/slice up your enemies rather than shoot balls at them?

Let’s just honestly pause for a second to realize how unbelievably fraud mages are

their abilities literally are all imitations of the real elements they use like wtf how is that better than strength

“oh it’s because they have more attunement with this almost nonexistent force in the AU called chaos oh yea it’s really scary and strong guys trust me”

“ok but berserkers can utilize chaos too they just do it differentl-”

“NUH UH BRO THEY’RE JUST NOT DOING IT AS CONCENTRATED BRO EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IS STOPPING THEM FROM BECOMING MORE CHAOS ATTUNED THEY’RE JUST NOT IT BRO NUH UH”

so is it the same thing or not

how does a berserker have less aura than a mage when both of them basically accomplish the same tasks in different ways

this is like fucking videogame archetype racism or something istg

oh my fuck

IF I CAN’T HAVE KIDS NO ONE CAN! -Some poor infertile sap

WELL???

IS IT???

these magic glazers can’t even give me a clear answer

this entire argument is rotting my braincells

ok let’s think about it this way:

what makes a magic blast, supposedly stronger than, say, an axe slash?

let’s compare them

-they’re both long range projectiles.

-they damage the opponent the exact same way.

-they both have their stats altered by what the mage/zerker is using

-the only advantage that blast has over axe slash is the fact that they can change shapes, but zerkers can do this with their crash skill, and ability that mages don’t have at all.

Blame Vetex for writing the lore like this

the argument is

“magic is stronger than aura (also magic) because yes”

i just want to punch a sky dweller stronger than they could
but vetex is on their side :pensive:
