My Earth's got a lot of conspiracy theories that aren't wrong.
I get your analogy, but I'm having trouble applying it. Say a werewolf comes here. There's a genetic and spiritual component to that. But here, they can't shift, they can't step sideways, they can't do anything a normal human can do. That doesn't feel like 'translation'. It's a change of identity. And my magick-with-a-k is literal reality changing, not energy, so...
What it sounds like is less like we're being 'translated' and more like we're being... filtered? Like our true natures are inside black boxes, translating input and output in ways we can't see. I'm struggling to describe this, but what's the difference between 'we've been fundamentally changed' and 'we haven't been fundamentally changed but we might as well have been for all intents and purposes'?
how about this: it's like if I try to move my arm, nothing happens, but if I think about the color blue and the letter 2, a robot limb on my back starts waving? That feels WAY different.
