i do think cyberwizard drugs is a funny trait for victor. ostensibly this is for his magic and to maintain his connection to his cybernetics but its kind of like a guy who gets a medical card for back pain and then makes weed his primary personality trait.

#his concoctions.#🌟#the idea is essentially that all living things in big league are either considered magical or mundane #and while all living creatures naturally produce #and channel magical energy/mana; mundane beings dont have enough to meaningfully express it in any major way #while magical creatures naturally excrete enough of it to have effects ie: kaseys powers #this is a spectrum its not like a hard binary but humans are the most mundane of the sapient creatures #and as such for a human to do magic requires external mana sources and often something to channel it through ie a staff #because it would otherwise be too much for the body to handle and either your effect wouldnt work or in some cases it would backfire #victor is human (mostly) and uses his tech to augment his natural abilities (which are impressive for a human). but a lot of what he dabbles #in these days is pretty extreme and outside the realm of typical magic tools #ie: dimension splitting; summoning and dealing with demons; time travel; the light necromancy required to keep his body functioning #and all his personal cybernetics are magitech and built in such a way that they channel more mana without an external focus (so no wand)#so the idea is that hes made himself some sort of substance of high-mana shit (minerals and some animal products mostly) that helps him #handle the strain of the kind of work hes doing. with the upside-downside of occassionally tripping balls.
