Is Ornn magical?

Grinning Idiot··3 votes·4,611 views

It is stated both in his VO and in his bio that Ornn does not think much of magic. Magic weakens his craft, it is what is blamed for making the prison of the howling abyss flawed, allowing the void to slowly escape it. For all his disapproval of magic it is pretty obvious that Ornn is tied to elemental magic, just like his siblings Anivia and Volibear.

Maybe it could be argued that he is a non-magical embodiment of an element. But I am not sure that is possible in runeterra where all elemental powers seem to be inherently magical; Taliyah, Iceborn, even Zyra (possibly) etc.

It was mentioned in a discussion about the new Ashe comic that there may be other elementally empowered freljordian's; like stormborn or hearthborn. This increases the tie between the freljordian demigods and elemental MAGIC.

I wonder how Ornn would view a hearthborn? He liked the hearthblood because they also eschewed magic.

Considering he's a demigod, he's probably magical in nature

He is magical in nature (at least half)-- and he makes magical things. But as the freljodian god of the forge --he's also about people of making things-- i.e. craftsmanship, civilization, self-reliance. -So he's not a fan of people using pure magic-- that's kinda cheating-- and implies a connection to something beyond yourself.

Does he believe that friendship is magic?

All ponys believe that.

And yes 100% canon. Ornn is a brony.

This is undeniable because only his beard hides his “Twilghtsparkle” tattoo.

Ornn's is himself magical, being a demigod and all, but he seems to prefer to make things without using magic (aside from his fire breath I guess, which I suppose other than him breathing it could be nonmagical)

I feel like demigods are connected to the land in spirit and not necessarily magically... They seem to be more of spirits that connect to their elements but idk about magic, Ornn definitely doesnt like using it so yeah not sure
