ppl grew up and forgot about magic. it is v disney.

I'm pretty sure that convention isn't limited to Disney films

Didn't Luwin say he'd studied magic?
― poxen, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 14:35 (eleven years ago) link
careful max this is nonspoiler thread, not that that's written as a big deal in the books or anything
and yeah a small handful of maesters study magic and have a special valyrian steel link in their chain to signify it

i don't recall if the show mentions it, but the warlocks have some blue plant that they chew, some shamanistic hallucinogen thing, and they might not be any more magical than that, since they most they achieve is dany's altered perception in the House.
seemed pretty clear from the assassination of the city council that warlock dude did have the ability to work some pretty substantial magic, that his powers weren't limited to just messin' with people's minds or w/e. hard to say, though. (i'm speaking only of the show's reality. shit in the books that isn't made clear in the show does not exist in the show afaic.)

i don't remember the scene well enough. what did he do?
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 15:54 (eleven years ago) link
multiple versions of him appeared behind every council member and slit all of their throats at the same time
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 6 June 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link
well it was the dragons that allowed that, right?
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 15:59 (eleven years ago) link
no reason to think so
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:11 (eleven years ago) link
(no reason in-show i mean)
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:13 (eleven years ago) link
well the warlocks said so m/l
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:13 (eleven years ago) link
did they? if so, i missed or forgot about it. what did he/they say?
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
they said their power was increased w/dragons around

"when your dragons were born, our magic was born again. it is strongest in their presence, and theirs is strongest in yours."

are we sure there is just one dude and not multiple identical looking dudes? they do talk about warlocks plural
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
but it decreased our intelligence and we forgot they can shoot fire :(
xp
― Jibe, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
xp: I like the ambiguity tbh; usually Dani is all "omg MAGIC" and everyone else in the scene is practically rolling their eyes going "argh jeez, just ignore him and he'll go away"
― WHEY AHR MAH DREGUNS? (DJP), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think the warlocks figured that the dragons were that powerful that little (even Dany could just barely get them to shoot a little bit of fire earlier in the season). That said, their "y'all gonna be here for eternity lolz" plan did seem pretty flawed as one imagines the dragons would grow.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
oop, i stand corrected. now that you mention it, i remember that line very clearly. anyway, point is that the warlock dude does have real magical abilities, though yeah, they may have seemed trivial w/out dani and her dragons around to amp the magic up.

they had a GoT exhibit at the Tiff building by my office. you could sit in the iron throne and they'd take a few pics and send you on your way with a contact sheet and a DVD of the first episode. not bad for a free dealy!
