Cain shivered when Emily took hold of her magic. He got goosebumps all down his arms. It was... odd that their magics would be so fundamentally different. Even though the redhead had an odd sensation while Emily used her power, he didn't see or sense her spells at all. It was a distinctly uncomfortable feeling to see the effects of the spell without feeling the mechanisms behind it. Cain had some sympathy for non-magic-users and how overwhelming it must be for them.
Still, why would magic be so fundamentally different between men and women? He vaguely recalled that the Sickness effected people at different ages based on their genders. But what about trans people? Or gender queer people? Did it depend on biological sex entirely? And if so, what happened with intersex folks or Klinefelter's man or a Turner's woman? Huffing, Cain decided to leave those questions to the scientists. He'd try to surf the web later on Nox's wallet (or on his own if Sage came through) to see if anyone had investigated that yet.
Huh, he'd assumed that there was a 'water' element, but it hadn't been confirmed. Air, Water, Earth, Fire... "Spirit,"
he mumbled. The others turned to him, and Cain coughed, blushing a bit. "Ah, well... there's this old cartoon. Er, came out before we were born; the details aren't important. It's just... those four groupings of elements are actually pretty rare. The traditional elements were fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. The show, uh, had those four elements spirit."
Spirit-bending to be specific, but Cain didn't feel the need to reveal just how nerdy he was.
