She's still an intermediate at best. Master wizards use command line.

double-clicking an icon is a lot easier than typing in the command line when someone is also trying to cut off your noggin

Only noobs leave their heads in removable state.

it's a lot easier to mod your software than your hardware in this world tho

she does have a cute suit of armor tho

Mod hardware? You just remove write/modify permissions to your body to anyone other than owner. It's trickier to leave the ability for others to teach you stuff, while not leaving your mind vulnerable to being turned to mush, but there are daemons for that. Sure there are attacks against the daemons and hijacking ownership / rights escalation attacks, but that's advanced stuff,

Or is it one of these horrific free-for-all transient universes with no privilege enforcement where anyone with a bit of knowledge of the internals can totally erase literally everything, and they continue to exist due to the fluke that no one chose to erase them, yet?

Maybe prevented by cuteness of the armor...

oh are we talking technologically still

because no matter how customized your soul, someone with a sharp enough weapon can still just literally behead you

If magic is altering the universe, and you are made out of that universe, then magic can alter you as well. And the sword. And the attacker.

Fireballs and lightning bolts are flashy, but turning a milligram of cranial fluid into potassium kills more surely. Flashy shields and magic-augmented dodges look impressive, but sidestepping a smidge ana or kata of your opponent renders the attack only operating on 'lower/higher, left-right, closer-farther' range of directions completely futile. Augmented sight still depends on reflected photons behaving predictably, augmented hearing still requires flexibility of air particle collisions, but perception of gravity can't be fooled this easily, and even though the blaze of the planet you're standing on submerges everything in such intense glare of gravitational waves even untrained feel their burden of their bodies sure as day, no wall or shield can hide a body that posesses mass.

And time? Why should progressing forward at one second per second be anything but a free choice?

That is beautiful

i have lived in tight, clustered surburbia most of my entire life, and it's incredible difficult for my mind's eye to even IMAGINE anything like a horizon, or distance

it's very upsetting

I always love the way you do outfits. And all the details on that sword and her focal holograph. That's super neat. Are there different types of GUI, and do people argue as fervently over them as I imagine they must?

most souls in the area run on a kernal created by a famous philosopher-wizard-programmer-monk a few hundred years ago, but the fox's soul runs a deviant kernal fork created by a subversive witch predecessor

it eschews the fancy, symbolism-laden GUI of the main branch for a simplistic, easy-to-use spellcasting interface on the assumption that you care more about casting the spell and its effects, rather than how impressive it looks

Oohh I love the idea of mixing computers and magic together.

So I'm assuming this setting is somewhere embedded into another as just a program of some sort?

souls are programmable, everyone knows that

that does bring up the good question of should you do so. Its a good thing most beings who create souls probably don't care.

I like this one, what happened to the whole I can't draw thing?

this is hardly coherent and struggled

Sorry you're feeling uninspired buddy! You'll get trough it, happens to the best of us.
