Reviews for Magic Makes Fools
Sitara chapter 78 . 10/29/2019
Hello. I have been a huge fan of this story for years. I wonder if it will ever be finished. I'd really really love to know what you planned to happen, of course, but either way, thank you for the wonderful story and the incredible thought you put into this. It's one of the best things I've ever read on this website. I hope you're well and thanks again!

You really are taking quite the creative freedom with how programmable Elsa's ice is :p

Hey,
College started so I really didn't get time to read up, that's why this long gap after my previous review. I don't know if you're still here :p If you are, here's my review;:

As before you are quite creative with what can be done given the possibilities. The explosion suppression seems like a very wonderful idea. On the border posts, the region in which suppression is applied can be as large as the maximum range of a gun.

One thing though - When you are going to light a candle, you use a match. The lighting of a match is also an explosion. Similarly, you would use something or the other to light a fire, that will be treated as explosive by the suppression magic. Basically, you can't start a fire in a suppressed region. So this would be a huge problem right? The only way to light a fire in a suppressed area would be to go out of the magic region, light a fire, and then carry back. Winters, windy days/nights will cause huge problems for Arendelle's own staff right?

Oh and, as before, you have also creatively managed the characters, loved the read.

Maybe I'll curse you again for igniting a chain of thoughts, maybe not, but either way Happy Holidays.

Now I'm curious; Could Elsa give a creation of hers the ability to use ice magic completely on it's own, just in case she loses her own again? So even if she doesn't know about a particular application of her ability, the immortal golem could learn about it long into the future? Suppose she created her own Court Mage, a humanoid golem specifically tasked with studying magic and able to perform the experiments as Elsa's replacement, freeing up the Queen's time. If Elsa deliberately gave a creation of hers the ability to wield magic on it's own as opposed to a simulacrum of what she knows she can do, would that creation be able to maintain itself even if Elsa tried to take back the magic that held it together, not that she ever would? This being would be immortal and may even have the potential to learn other forms of magic independent of Elsa. Elsa wouldn't even have to worry about the being going rogue because she could create it with the intent to be compassionate of all life and a desire to primarily study magic... I'm going have to write my own 'fic about this now, but please let me know what you think.
Also, will events in Corona eventually lead to Happily Ever After, where Rapunzel regains her magical hair?

Hey! I love your story! Can't wait for the next chapter!

I'm really loving how much care went into the background research of this fic rn. Makes the whole story feel real, especially with the physics protion that don't just throw reason to the wind in explainations except in times where "it's magic" was treated as a unsatisfactory answer, in universe too. The "inter reflction" problem and subsequent dismission got to me the most lol. Been doing that a lot a few years back myself.

I take that back. I misread the paragraph :p You said that too.

Wait wait wait! For a hollow shell to float, the thickness is NOT fixed. It is proportional to the radius of the ball, if density of the shell and atmospheric density is fixed.
Trapdere chapter 9 . 11/23/2017
The improbable deduction from an act that can very well be just a reward for saving a princess, such wow.
Trapdere chapter 41 . 11/24/2017
If only the benefits outweigh being poor BEFORE lamps being handed out...oh wait, they do. Once you get a lamp, it's probably some free income to mitigate the poor factor, you get a priceless AND practical artifact. I mean, this isn't just economy backlash you're going to worry about. This is basic equality shit that will get the population angry. It's not even just given out to a few people with personal connection to the crown, but thousands, which is enough to let the others feel like being discriminated against.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought etching glass you'd use base?

Let's just have the Morris' move to Arendelle! Good time to head hunt them!
Prometheus-42 chapter 78 . 11/3/2017
Okay finally caught up with this story after several days of reading. I have to say the last few chapters were an enormous let down that made me struggle to finish the story.

I just don't understand why you decided to de-power Elsa. Everything else seems to have been an extrapolation on movie feats but the conflict between the two magics really doesn't seem to match. Pabbie's magic had no problem working around Elsa's without some bizarre neutralization issue and that's the only example of two magics going against each other in the movie.

Honestly it makes it incredibly frustrating that she sat on all the things she could have been doing to generate wealth for her kingdom and only implemented a tiny fraction and now can't ever do them. This is the same problem as if she died only a few decades earlier than expected.

The curse she implemented is also pretty terrible. I mean you do realize that *every* human being on the planet is related if you go back enough generations don't you? She set no generational limit on it. It should have plunged the entire planet into a permanent stone age level society with no way out.

This story was so good for 74 chapters, but now I'm not even sure I want to continue reading it.
Prometheus-42 chapter 53 . 11/2/2017
I feel like this is the first time Elsa won a chess match in dozens of chapters. They don't seem that evenly matched.

Also seems like this medicine is going to be more valuable for Corona than Elsa is for Arendelle. They are much more effectively leveraging a unique resource.
