So, as you all should by now know, I made the Second Origin Activation spell on the wiki.

This was initially to explain some stuff happening in canon.

Along the line, it became a very common thing for people to add onto, well, every character.

I realized that it appeared as a power-up to many people and so changed its fundamentals so it wasn't viewed as something so cheap.

It never stopped. In fact, people sometimes continued to use my old description of the spell even though I changed it for that very purpose.

I'd like to point out the redundancy of Second Origin Activation today in this short thing. Do note, it's not even 7am and I've also been kept awake by the rain for like three hours.

The Second Origin Activation is, in itself, extremely redundant to possess on any character. It is a form of magic control in which, when you are at the bridge of being able to use your Second Origin, you can choose to seal it until the absolute necessary moment.

What happens? You get an amazing boost of power for a short while. After that? Your Second Origin is awake and it is part of your Magic Origin, so your overall Magic Power capacity has increased.

Then why is it that people have taken something that is simply a process of, let's say, being "recognized as a powerful Mage" and made it into something as cheap as a power-up that is stacked on virtually every character with a decent power level?

When did we, as a fanon, become so blind that we can't see the Second Origin Activation is little more than a circumstantial "power boost" that only leads to the permanent accessibility of your Second Origin's container?

I'm not going to ask you to remove Second Origin Activation from your characters. For some, it's simply to fill the article out and increase their byte count.

But I ask you, is increasing your byte count so necessary that you need to add something as redundant as Second Origin Activation?

If you can, through some miracle, justify why the Second Origin Activation spell is on your page, and it is something beyond what I have written for it, then I applaud you.

Otherwise it's just kind of sitting there, alone and useless.

That's all.
