Oooooo, That Design For The Core Is Super Cool, I Love Them Being A Fucked Up Olm Thing. I Wonder, Were

Oooooo, that design for the core is super cool, I love them being a fucked up olm thing. I wonder, were they “created” already being an olm, or was some olm used as the body for them to inhabit when the core was created? I just noticed the note about their current host being an olm kicked out of proteus lol nvm …Do they still have a reason to use Marcy as a host like in canon, if they already have a host in that olm? Also, do they have a “true” form, or are they simply formless without a host?

Other questions, can all humans use magic if they know how in this au, or did the calamity stones unlock the ability in the girls when they absorbed their power? What kind of magic do you think Anne’s parents would learn, if they could?

So you mention Marbles the moth was made as a way to communicate with the core… does it have a mind of its own, or was Marcy unknowingly always communicating with the core when she uses Marbles? …Actually wait, I might be making an assumption there that Marbles would work like a Palisman from the Owl House. Is Marbles animate? Or is it just a staff shaped like a moth?

Thank you! I got inspired by a design for the Core I saw online that was olm shaped so I used that idea haha. This olm essentially sacrificed themself to become the body for this artificial god, its mind being absorbed into the core like all the rest. So the olm is pretty much their “True Form.” The Core uses Marcy’s body to begin its plans, as it can possess beings while still being asleep. Marcy falls victim to this because she finds Marbles and has the wit gem’s power embedded into her which ends up awakening Marbles.

As for humans using magic, if they had access to the ingredients in Amphibia they could, but the magic is unique to Amphibia and its resources. It’s like Luz in the Boiling Isles: she herself has no magic but she can use the magical resources around her. The stones are what gave the trio their powers, as the box was unused for a long enough time that a bit of their power will always be embedded in them until the box gets destroyed. If Anne’s parents could learn magic I think Mrs. Boonchuy would learn fire magic and Mr. Boonchuy would learn electric magic (I’ve actually been considering if they decide to go with her to Amphibia in this au cuz I always thought that’d be cool.)

Marbles does work similarly to how a Palisman does in the owl house, but it can’t detach from the staff. It gains its own personality when the wit gem’s power is infused into it, but this is also what gets the Core’s attention. I wrote some stuff down about Marbles here:

As always, you are welcome to ask more questions! They are very fun to answer :D
