Comments on: Manageable Modern Magic #04 — I Dream of Jini http://tenka.seiha.org/2009/08/manageable-modern-magic-04-i-dream-of-jini/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:07:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steven Den Beste http://tenka.seiha.org/2009/08/manageable-modern-magic-04-i-dream-of-jini/comment-page-1/#comment-25433 Steven Den Beste Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:55:24 +0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=4292#comment-25433 This episode confirms something they'd obliquely hinted at earlier: Kaho has no native sensitivity to magic at all. In the pump room, all of Misa, Yumiko, and Koyomi could clearly see the jini, and Kaho could not and didn't know it was there. Kaho has been shown doing magic, in the sense that she writes computer programs along the lines of what Misa tells her to, and they yield results that can't be explained technologically. But she isn't really a mage at all. It's cookbook to her, all theoretical. On the other hand, Koyomi seems even more sensitive to it than Misa or Yumiko. Out in the pool Koyomi could hear the jini, even though Yumiko and Misa could not. This episode confirms something they’d obliquely hinted at earlier: Kaho has no native sensitivity to magic at all.

Maybe that and the Donna Fargo ref just stay clear to me. Either that or I'm old. I’ve gotta ask, how is ‘I dream of Genie’ an obscure reference?
