Given Name: Not applicable to this situation.

Names I Answer to: Zarius Corten; Scruffy

Origins: American (currently New Mexico state. More than that, not needed), genetic heritage from a large portion of European countries

Magical inclinations: I use magic on an instinctive level, and have never been trained in any way, shape or form. I can duplicate nearly any type of energy, though a specific person's energy signature is beyond my current skills. So far as specific talents are concerned, I am the magical equivalent of either a nuclear power plant or a nuclear bomb, depending on your view of the skill. I can draw on enormous amounts of raw power, and, given time, can produce large stores of raw power with no source other than myself.

Magical specialties: In order from greatest talent to least talent: Shield creation, curse breaking, shield breaking, and curse making.

Magical generalities: If it requires an amount of skill, I can probable compensate with raw power and determination, much like filling a glass by spraying a fire hose against the wall above the glass. If it requires nothing more than enormous amounts of power, you've nailed something I can do.

Current projects: Accruing more in the way of magical finesse. Also, attempting to find a way to harness the solar eclipse as a power source for more than just the duration of the solar eclipse.

Other skills: If I set my mind to it, and I have anything resembling 'the right tools', or even 'close enough to the right tools', I can make just about anything.

Other
Currently, I am 26 years of age. I have been 'practicing' magic (meaning intentionally performing it) since I was about 12, and been actually performing (unintentionally) for as long as I can remember. As mention, I perform it on an instinctive level, rather than a practiced one. When I intentionally perform a working of magic, I modify based off my mood, the mood of my target (whether victim or beneficiary), ambient feelings, and simply what the spell feels like I should do to it. I have had precisely zero spells go wrong thus far, though I have had a few simply fail to work on any level. Better than unintended results, I believe.When working with magic, I do nothing more or less than my best to cause what either I or my client (on the rare occasions I use my talents on behalf of others) desire, rather than trying to cause a specific effect. This has seemed to be a pass-fail system, and thus extremely effective, as I have a habit of not causing unintended results. I also find muse and occasional inspiration in a bottle. Usually vodka.

Sorry Zarius, this isn't a forum for that kind of magic, but welcome anyway!

The spirits agree with Alfred!

And this is why you have power but no control, harnessing magic requires all 23 senses to be razor sharp, there are forces out there both in your government and outside this universe that will mess with you. It's lucky you're not in the U.K. After making that nuclear bomb claim, if you were in Britain, the Smiling Brothers would have already arrived and stolen your penal gland and your penis (They know one is important but they're not sure which).

I recommend you start reading: Cosmic Trigger and the Principia Discordia, both can be found at the Robert Anton Wilson website. From Hell by Alan Moore which can be found at any good comic shop and the complete works of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. (While From Hell and Discworld are works of fiction the magic they talk about is very real.)

Beware the armies of Greyface are everywhere, they will try and stop you.

That was just excellent! What a great response!

I wish I could have drunken mind adventures like this instead of not being able to walk straight and always saying something offensive I didn't mean.
