My name is Sparrow Duchesne, and I have some magic.
It's not as exciting as it sounds - a lot of people do. Most of the time it's something like a random little skill, or a sense or a feeling. I knew a girl in college who could make a tiny flame dance on her palm. It was a pretty party trick, but a pretty useless one. She couldn't even light a cigarette off it. You can learn magic, like you can learn anything, and because magic is a language, learning it is no different from learning any other language. But to be really good, you need a natural aptitude.
Binary code, because it's essentially a language of ones and zeros, is particularly susceptible to magical fluctuations and tampering. I've been told it's hard enough to write good, stable code in the first place, never mind good, stable code that will resist magical manipulation. Technomancy is a big field.
