Lore Masters! Is There A Possible Garlean Special Forces Op?

[Anonymoose]

The lorebook does say that they can cast spells. It's just very very rare.

This still bothers me so much, lol.

What have they planned that necessitates dropping years of "Do not pass go. Do not collect 200MP." for "They're just super ultra special, guys!"

Well, we might learn soon enough. Maybe tomorrow. Regula might be able to cast magic. If not him, Zenos. You do not put loopholes in, unless you plan to abuse it.
The question is: Why is is rare at all? They are the only muggle race we know of.

I would not be surprised at all if Garleans were the result of Allagan experimentation. We know that they experimented on the spoken races and such experiments resulted in fairly "intelligent" chimerical creations.

Their 3rd eye is capable of advance spacial awareness, which gives them an advantage when it comes to operating machinery and guns? Perhaps it was their plan on controlling the masses that were revolting since they won't able able to use aether to augment their abilities and use magic?

I even like the idea that proto-Garleans were the base to create the Gigas.

maybe it'll relate to the possible theory of a garlean possessing the echo? maybe those who have the echo can just naturally learn to cast spells.

Not sure if it's still the policy, but I do remember reading that Echo users are not liked by the Garleans and are considered the same "level" as the beast tribes.

Back on the subject of Garleans having special op, I think they did make use of Ninjas. But after Gekai's defeat and failure the Garleans no longer needed them.

I think goblins are a 'muggle' race too.

Hmmmm. Yeah you are probably right. We didn't see much spellcasting from gobbies.
