True, the second story has it as a mutation, the people in chapter 1 are the first generation to be BORN with the mutation hard wired in, so all humans born afterward are that way, so I felt I could fudge it a little.
I should stick to non-science-y stories considering how badly I did in those subjects, but magic just ticks me off as a plot device outside of deep fantasy elements.
The only time I ever felt magic was awesome was in Gargoyles. Magic wasn't invincible, "Magic or Science energy is energy."

For the second comment: So they aren't "good?"
I'm not gonna get pissy, I haven't written anything in years, and I have some rust to get off. That's why I'm sticking to conceptual stuff and rough outlines.
