Editing Contract magic (section)

==Sentience==
The sentience of the contract magic is certainly debatable, with plenty of evidence on both sides. 

According to one argument, the magic is magic, which on its own has never been recorded to have been sentient. It can often provide convincing facsimiles of sentience, especially if the magic is as old and as divorced from its creation as this magic is. It has grown extensively since the early days, and is able to essentially take over anyone who has signed a contract. However, this takeover is used only to further the contracts and the magic's survival, much in the way a non-sentient parasitic mushroom might take over an insect's body for its own use. 

According to the other argument, the magic's use of signees goes beyond the contracts and shows intent and planning. It also [[Modified animals|modified many species]] to serve its goals, and has altered many things about the world over the time it has existed. Besides that, it created Ever After High and still controls it, through the contracts created for the Headmaster and the Administrators.
