Re: Albus Dumbledore | Harry Potter (1920s-Fantastic Beasts era)

Bending is basically using your will to affect reality; because of Nautilus is a bit closer to chaos than most worlds, reality is a lot more flexible here. Bending has a lot of uses, but the most common one is to create things you want or need.

[Clu demonstrates by Bending up a cup of tea and offering it to Dumbledore.]

You're right about it affecting things here, in good ways and in bad. On one hand it's helpful, for obvious reasons. But on the other it makes dealing with serious threats a lot more difficult. And there are serious threats, not just to Nautilus, but to other worlds too.

See, Nautilus is something of a nexus, where a lot of different worlds intersect. So what happens here can spread to affect those other worlds, for good or bad. Under normal circumstances, certain people from here travel to other worlds to help fix flaws in that reality. But if a powerful and dangerous enough entity got control of things, a lot of serious harm could be done, and very few people from those worlds would be able to really do anything about it.

[Dumbledore takes the tea, his eyes alight with curiosity. This is all so fascinating, and its all things he's never heard of before. Oh, the studying he could do!]

I don't even know where to start asking questions. Do you know how bending is possible? And what serious threats are there? And what flaws in reality?

Like I said, Bending is possible because Nautilus is closer to chaos than most worlds. Reality isn't as rigidly structured here as it is most everywhere else. But it's a delicate balance. Too much chaos, and everything falls apart, which is actually the reason reality storms happen; chaos builds up over time, then gets released with unpredictable effects to restore the balance. Conversely, too much order and nothing can grow or change or really do anything at all.

Which is what one of those threats I mentioned wanted. Her name was Isis, and she wanted to freeze all of reality into her own idea of perfect order. The citizens of Nautilus who were there then managed to defeat her, but it was very close.

And flaws in reality are...

[Clu paused for a moment, realizing he needed to think a bit about this answer.]

Well, they're when something happens to a world that makes some aspect of that world's physical laws start to break down. It's usually centered in one spot, at least at first, but if not stopped and repaired, it can spread out until that entire world is at risk.
