“Just magic? Magic’s the most important part of a witches’ life. It is mine at least. Magic regulates your emotions. Allows you to connect with nature and the world in ways you probably can't even imagine. Changes your entire world view. Changes you. Having it taken away from you it's like taking your eyes away. And to have it taken in such a manner, to become something that your very nature despises so… I can't even imagine.” He didn't have to. He knew perfectly well what it was like – he spent a thousand years living it. “Being turned from witch to vampire is the perfect way to make someone resent both themselves and the world around them. Having to live with that for hundreds of years would make anyone mad.”

oh how I love reading a good fic exploring Kol's centuries pain and struggles of losing his magic to vampirism.

#kol referred it as his 'dark period'#'it's worse than i remember' as he was cursed by the ancestors #or when freya said 'magic is overrated anyways' to comfort herself about sacrificing her magic to become a vampire #'easy for you to say you haven't had to live without it'#kol's very determined to protect his loved ones (freya and davina) from suffering the same fate that was imposed on him #btw is there any tvdu characters who was a witch before being turned living more than a hundred years besides kol?#i love the description of vampirism doing to witches to not simply just 'losing magic'#(there're witches in the show losing the ability to do magic in some periods of time - but they could practice it again one way or another)#(being vampires was closing that door forever. unless you're heretics or a tribid or having the cure)#but also 'becoming something that your very nature despises'#because vampires were rejected by nature and witches are the worshippers (slaves) of nature #and it's very accurate to compare 'taking magic away from witches' with 'taking eyes away'#magic was a part of them as much as eyes were to normal human beings - they don't need it to live #but taking the ability of being access to magic - they can never be whole again without it. especially with the one having it since a child #kol mikaelson #the vampire diaries #tvdu #the originals
