There's no magic in my world but it could be seen as magical or mystical.
[ sabo laughs and is definitely more than welcomed to tell g'raha all about the devil fruits. at least, everything that he knows??? which. looks at canon point. is something. ]
The origins of the fruit and how they came to be is a mystery to vast majority of my world's population. However, there's a theory that they are the result of some advance technology.

'Tis true that we are all well aware that he can put on an act.
[ Hmmmm. ]
I wonder if our memories could increase the potency of a spell.
[ It would make sense, that's for certain. ]

[ Oh? Advanced technology, huh? That piques G'raha's interest, his ears twitching slightly. ]
Advanced technology, you say? Is it of the ancient sort, by any chance?

[ oh? sabo doesn't want to play into it too much but— ]
Very.
[ this is where i, naru, wish sabo didn't know as much as he does but...he does. ]
If the theory is to be believed, the technology comes from a time in my world's history that is referred to as the "Void Century" as everything about it has been destroyed.

[ can't believe you have to talk about one piece technology right now i'm so sorry i did this to you ]
The Void Century?
[ He's living for Sabo playing into it, interest practically sparkling in his eyes. ]
I wonder... was the technology exceedingly dangerous?

[ every day i suffer in talking about technology in one piece but now it's more like "would sabo know this". seeing g'raha so excited about the technology has sabo chuckling. ]
Incredibly.
[ as much as he would love to keep it light-hearted, he does sober up when it comes to this. ]
Though the documentation of the Void Century has been lost, it doesn't mean that all of what remained of it disappeared as well. One such technology from that time were these "ancient weapons" that were said to be as powerful as gods. [ frowns. ] ...and I've had the unpleasant experience of seeing one of them in action.

The sort of weaponry that could rend the world in two, I presume?
[ It's not unlike the tower, after all, and he finds himself growing a little more serious. His curiosity is still there in spades, but he'd like to commit this knowledge of another star to memory. ]

Different properties of a spell can be adjusted even by the tenuous threads of memories. I think it could certainly be possible, especially if Ish is utilizing a type of magic that could make real use of it.
[ Hmmmm. ]
'Tis something for us to think about.
[ Hmmmm. ]
'Tis something for us to think about.
Yes, perhaps even easily.
[ what a change in the mood but sabo nods. it's unsurprising but also sad. ]
I'm not certain of what I witnessed but I watched it completely wipe out an entire country—an island—from existence in a single moment. The only thing left behind was a giant hole in the planet.

It very well could. Though, speaking to technicalities, nearly anything could interfere with spell work.
[ Crossing his arms. ]
Do you have an object in mind?

[ sabo will nod at that. so it seems like spells aren't too different from what he's familiar with which is somehow kind of disappointing in its own way. but to his point, he'll fish out a golden tarot card from his pocket and hold it out to g'raha to see. g'raha will notice that the card will hum with a bit of magic. ]
I received this card last week; it seemed to be an additional reward, of sorts, after the others that were handed out by Ish.

Awe-inspiring power, I see.
[ He lets out a sigh. ]
There is power similar to that where I hail from. I studied ancient arcane magicks, and naturally, ancient technology followed.

[ Magic... he misses the familiarity of it, and it almost feels like home in his hands. ]
The moon... Do you have an inkling of what its meaning might be?

[ glad that g'raha will appreciate it more than sabo will. he'll have no problems if g'raha wants to keep it either. ]
The way that the moons are positioned remind me a scale but, unfortunately, I haven't had time to ask Ish about what it could mean or if it was intentional.
[ ... ]
However, when I first received it, it gave off the feeling that it could reveal a truth to me.

[ the fact that g'raha has studied one thing that led him to something far more sinister than promising. it honestly gets a sigh out of him as well. ]
A shame that our worlds couldn't differ in ancient technology that could end up destroying itself, huh?

[ honestly he'll definitely keep it if sabo lets him— ]
A truth...? And you've pondered on that truth being related to us learning of our circumstances.

'Tis a shame that our stars cannot be similar in more uplifting ways. I suppose some aspects of mankind will remain the same regardless of circumstance.
[ Such as destructiveness. ]
[ Such as destructiveness. ]
[ only one way to find out if sabo will allow g'raha to keep it or not! ]
Not so much pondered but... [ how does sabo explain this. ] After I "activated" the card a memory overtook me where I felt as though I was being interviewed.
Or watching people be interviewed.
[ no one mentioned it being a group experience so sabo here is thinking that he was the only one who experienced it. ]

[ Thankfully, G'raha can make that connection for him. ]
Your activation of the card... I believe all of us must have had that memory. I felt the same as you.

I believe it very well could be. I can feel magic in this card. Whatever you may have done with it could have either activated or broken a spell.
[ Hm. ]
I wonder… Mayhap these cards are the method in which he casts larger spells.

It would make sense if it did. I can't imagine that something that allowed us to remember something from who knows how long ago amounting to nothing.
[ IMAGINE. like it's not impossible but sabo really doesn't think it'd be entirely meaningless. after all, there's still magic lingering from the card even after he has triggered it. ]
Perhaps we should be on a look out to see if anyone else gets one in the coming week and compare what we find. ...if they're willing to cooperate.

I agree.
[ A nod. ]
How shall we inquire? Ideally, we could hold a meeting... however, I fear that Ish may catch wind if we do. [ He's in the walls. ] I imagine he has no clue that you've received that.
