This episode, we'll be focusing on where animus magic came from, a request from @cwkrubi59328: - Where animus magic came from is a huge mystery, as the books never really talked about it. I believe it started with the IceWings and SandWings, because the NightWings and SeaWings only had animus dragons when Prince Arctic made Darkstalker and Albatross's mom\grandmother or dad\grandfather made Albatross. Jerboa and Jerboa the second showed no sign of being hybrids, so SandWings naturally had the magic, as well as IceWings. Where did animus magic come from before that, though? Did it ever occur to you that SandWings and IceWings live in the same area? When cold and hot tempuratures clash, it makes lightning. The heat of the Sand kingdom and the cold of the Ice kingdom could've clashed together, creating lightning, and something could have contained that lighting, making it animus magic. The magic was split between the two tribes. The wiki says absoloutly nothing. Just "In an interview at the Rochester Children's Book Festival, when Tui was asked for the inspiration for animus magic, she replied: "So with animus magic, it started with thinking, I needed some kind of magic in this world, but I didn't want it to be like anyone can have any magic at any time." Do you believe this theory, or is it just an Eye of Onyx?
