Why do most fans believe that humans can’t do magic in Undertale when the intro and history stated that seven wizards seal monster underground. Maybe it’s from the fact that we don’t you magic ourselves in game, humans and monster are different species or what the book said in the librarby. But what’s to say human magic is different from monsters.

Now if you look at the intro of game, it’s sepia color and the style is reminiscent of the medieval times(dark ages). In most media that set there, there is bonded to be wizards which we we saw.

People become wizard by practice/making spells and brewing potions. The barrier is made of soul power, a main source in undertale, but it also used a spell to perform it.

In game we only fight, act or spare, but during development toby wanted to add an option where you can do spells on monsters but was starch out of draft. Which shows the he intended for the child to do magic, giving more evident that humans CAN use magic.

Now we the fans though we can use magic because of a misreading of what the blue book in the library(oh i’m sorry, librarby) said: (Blue Book) ''While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water. Humans, with their physical forms, are far stronger than us. But they will never know the joy of expressing themselves through magic. They’ll never get a bullet-pattern birthday card…'' But its most of the sense that while monsters are made of magic and express themselves. Humans had to practice it and only used it if necessary. But they did had the strength to make up for it, since they won the war and murder countless monsters.

All and all i do believe the magic between humans and monsters where different. I just that it’s an old art that has been lost long time ago. It would be nice for the game to have spells thou.
