Rate yourself on a scale of arbitary internal value, set minimum at 0 maximum at 100.
How high do you rate yourself in "ability to alter reality as perceived by what you perceive to be other selves in ways that they would consider magical. Take total human population throughout history of roughly 300 to 900 billions and have them as theoretical total audience, how many amongst them would think what you can do is magic, if they only saw you do it from the moment they ask you to perform something to the moment that you perform it succesfully.
Get maximum amount of food "ok, i'll put out mortages and sell out the interior of my house and take out all possible loans and purchase highest quantity of food available at bulk. *shows up at random tribes door with thousands of tons of preservable plus fresh food*"
Stuff of that nature.
How high up in the theoretical 0-100 scale would you place yourself.
If I fully explain what I can "do" in terms of my beliefs in the LOO and science and their application to the actual, you know, day to day life and its obervation through the lense of "what if LOO is "right"". We'll need several books, and a very patient team of writers, and thats just sounds egoistical but thats what it is.
I think about 90+% of people alive today would consider it at least mildly magical and about 95-99% of people having lived throughout the history would consider it magical BUT only within the context of abilities, not what has been done, in itself.
So. On such a theoretical, were I to apply myself with absolute dedication to the task, how many of "dem homies" to borrow coffeeshop talk, would consider it magical.
I'm thinking of the people "alive" right now, officially, maybe 95% would consider it semi magical or scoff at it.
Which brings me to the point of my random post.
If you rate yourself on a totally subjective entirely user report based magic system as described above.
What grade do you give yourself in pure theoretical that you know you could vouch your, like, general "content" (heart,soul, mind, whatever) for being able to do.
I'm thinking 95.
What about the rest of you? Is this taboo or in bad taste? If so please remove, if not then please if possible, turn into poll with possible well selected options as poll option seems to be missing.
TL;DR:
I rate my magic at 95 out of 0-100 on all humans in history thinking what I could do is magic. What do you rate yourself as.
