So recently, I've been playing a lot of Shadowrun Returns. The game's damn awesome, and fulfills all my cyberpunk and magical needs. It also got me thinking about the place of magic in SS13, and particularly our lore. Magic exists in game- cultists, wizards, and some others use it. So why shouldn't it get some more explanation, exposure, or integration?
This is just a thread for ideas pertaining to magic. These could be either lore or game-based. I'll start off with a couple.
Some more "background" lore on magic. When did magic emerge at-large in the universe? Was there real magic on Earth before humanity reached the stars? Do magical creatures exist in some form? These are questions that should be answered.
Perhaps some sort of magic researcher job in R&D.
Throw in some ideas!

I believe I wrote a thing and posted it, but never got a sodding response.
My theory and suggested wizard/magic lore was that it has existed for some time, and is based around the manipulation of some sort of material that is everywhere.
As well, that the wizards WE see, who requires catalysts for most of their spells, are just brain washed gits, implying that someone or someones is so adept at spells that they created their books, which allow wizards to suddenly know spells.
As well, cultists use blood, and the blessing of Nar'sie as a catalyst, allowing for their magic to work only by it's whim, and that anything else that has occurred suddenly, miracles and the like, were the work of other near-omnipotent beings, who had randomly taken favor with someone.
I've still got the file somewhere, and it's lurking on the forums somewhere...It was being done as a report by someone who was testing after gaining a spellbook with charges left, and had a security officer testing, who blew off his own hand in the process.
