User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail 526: My Name Is..., Review/@comment-125.212.122.68-20170313123716

Maybe at this point to comfort myself I'll just play around with hypothetical scenarios (that Mashima won't bother depicting or mentioning anyway)... If there's such a thing as a caster magic that allows one to replicate or simulate various holder magic items, can August copy that and thereby overcome his limitations? If August happens to have a velvet glove, can he sync his magic to copy magic mediated by velvet gloves but not magic mediated by plastic gloves? Can August copy other forms of caster copy magic?

Funny and frustrating how all this talk of the technicalities makes us ignore the other characteristic of the 'king of magic', that he is supposedly born with great magic that's neither light nor dark. How do we make sense of it, and might that have anything (even just a little) to do with Fairy Heart or the One Magic?
