I would first like to thank all who contributed to this thread with informations showing different as well as common historic traditions on the different worlds. And I agree that we have to find common grounds especially where either informations or their interpretations are different. We should do this without polemics and with due respect for any of the different traditions.

And I think that we should forget about past conflicts, but in the future strictly tell off fools blaming homins from other worlds that they had not read or known the Lore. This should be especially the case when it deals with buddies from the own old world.

About the Kamis, I know that some homins, e.g. Taliar Luth McFay, even contradict the notion that the Kami brought to the homins the ability to use magic, he considers that as kamist propaganda and believes that magic is an inborn property of all homins. This may sound shocking or even blasphemous to Zorai, anyway it is a perception based on the Lore, too.

Undeniably the Kamis are a powerful force, yet they have susceptibilities homins lack, at least to a wide amount, especially against Goo and fire. So I do not see a contradiction in the notion that Kamis are able to teach homins things they cannot do themselves, even those they will never be able to do. As an example: I may train a monkey to climb up a steep wall to a partially opened window, stick his tail through the opening and switch off the light or something else there, even though I would never be able to climb such a wall and lack a tail to reach through a narrow opening. In the same sense Kamis may train homins things they cannot perform themselves. This is a difference compared to an old athlete training younger ones.
