What do you call that robot crap?
-to Ruby- You doing okay?
It's not just energy flow, is the thing. The energy currents interact with and are drawn from the Lifestream. Even machines that do use magic usually have an organic adapter somewhere in them. It's why they're so easy to short out — the circuits are fine, but the living bits snuff it if you run a current through them.

You don't have to tap into anything for it to work. There's no, er, Lifestream or something like that. There's no technique to it, either. There's no incantation, no ritual, no finesse.
It's hard to the explain, but the whole thing's just kind of fundamental. It's the way things are. You can only do it if you've been allowed to by someone else like a god or something. It's kind of- it's not very helpful, but it's just kind of axiomatic. Something like that.

Well, we don't have any back home. And everyone's here works a little bit differently.
Hard to keep it all straight, y'know?
