Yes, its true that Lavos did not "create" magic. However he did create "applied magic" i.e. Ice 2, Dark Bomb, Dreamless, Lightning, Flare, ShiningBit, Hallation, ProtectiveSeal, etc. That is what I meant when I said "magic". I meant the abilities, not magic in itself. sorry for the confusion. In the intended timeline that the planet wanted, the balance of the four elements was kept easily by not having creatures with the ability to gather energy of a specific element and unleash it in destructive ways. Yes, I bet the Entity is a big fan of the Black Hole attack, or Flare. That kind of applied magic is very very destructive, I doubt the planet wanted that kind of magic to exist. Oh and I just thought of something. Spekkio says that he CANNOT give Ayla magic because she was born before it EXISTED. Now of course, Spekkio is using the word 'magic' the way I am using it, not the 'nature' way of using it. Magic of course existed as the elements existed but applied magic did not, that was an ability the humans (and mystics) evolved over time due to Lavos's actions with DNA. The Earthbound ones are the 'control group' of humans, with no magical power (as was stated in another forum) and the Enlightened Ones were the experiment. As you can see, the experiment was too dangerous for Lavos's well being, so It destroyed Zeal, and when the survivors intermixed with the powerless Earthbound Ones, magic ability eventually became recessive. < that is why Spekkio can bring out those powers, they are there, just dormant.
