Born to a poor magical family, who passed on the scarse general knowledge each of them had gathered during their lives from generation to generation, Charles grew up to be resourceful with his magic. Other than being financially poor his family also consisted only of unpracticed mages as they had no means to buy advanced books for witchcraft and had no access to the high-standing magical world due to their economical status. As they did not affiliate themselves with aristocratic magical families, they had no available tutors with superior abilities to teach them and develop their magic. They dabbled in basic Witchcraft and dark magic, basically gypsy-type magical methods - curses, readings, tarot cards (readings that tended to be eerily accurate due to those with precognitive abilities in the family). They employed their resourcefulness to innovate the traditional magic they'd learned from their ancestors - The Eppsteins were the anonymous inventors of many methods in charmwork and potionsmaking. They were also a family in which the development of rare supernatural gifts wasn't uncommon (precognition, retrocognition, teleportation, control over light and anti-light, blood manipulation, etc.)

The two worlds have no way of becoming one as the coin has two sides for a reason - one cannot view both of them simultaneously. You cannot make a perception physical and, normally, you cannot affect the world with your mind directly. But we can... Now spin the coin Observe as the two sides blurr together imperceptably. That is magic... According to that there three types of magic: |
