This piece of text about the War always made me curious. It obviously shows humans are capable of using magic, but it never says how.
We know monsters are magical, they are capable of using magic due to the fact their physical bodies are made of magic and composed wholly of their SOULS, whereas Human’s bodies and SOULS are separate. And Monster’s magic changes depending on their form and their SOUL (thoughts, feelings, etc.)
So how do certain Humans learn magic? How is it different from Monster magic? Is it really all that different, or is it of a similar nature? Is composed of Human SOUL power? The Barrier reacts to SOUL power, so does that mean it was created with SOUL power?
It’s one of the big mysteries in Undertale lore I desperately want to know more about.
This has always fascinated me as well. I would have loved to have more insight on how different (if at all) human magic is from monster magic.
One of my headcanons is that after monsters were banished, magic in the human world diminished greatly because monsters were gone. Their interactions with the world at large was one of the greatest sources for magic and nobody realized that. Naturally occurring magical things stopped existing or are extremely rare in the human floor like echo flowers, enchanted forests, fairy lights, etc. Maybe the only kind of magic still existing in the human world is the practical kind, like potions or enchantments. Or maybe it only exists in some small capacity where a few monsters still roam, like around the Loch Ness Lake. Nessie being one of few monsters that weren’t captured by the barrier.
Which could also mean another situation. If monsters are a big source of magic, that means that THEY are the ones keeping the barrier up. Its their belief that they are trapped that keeps them Underground and that’s why it takes a human element to convince them otherwise.
If you think about it, each of the seven soul colours have their own magic, but it probably lays dormant. It could probably be unlocked somehow.
If you think about it, the red souls ability to return after death is a magic in itself. As well as the yellow souls ability to fire projecties and the green souls ability to create shields. Blue probably has some sort of gravity manipulation. Orange is strength. Not sure what purple or light blue are. But yeah, many humans are probably able to use magic, it’s just dormant.
