magic

[Frank Clydth]

Lets not forget that the Marlfoxes are renowned for their stealth,quick disappearances and magic.

[Jetthebinturong]

Yes but that's a myth built around them based on trickery and illusion. They don't have actual magical powers.

[The Skarzs]

In some cases they do have the ability to foresee some things, but it is nothing more than that.
If anything the badgers would be more magical.

[The Grey Coincidence]

This has lead me to thinking...
How come Martin can come back as a ghost? In the three books that show him alive he doesn't go around possessing people (I mean I haven't read legend of Luke, but I don't think he goes around possessing people). I mean, do we know about any other characters that come back as ghosts? (I have encountered none so far in my reading of the books, but there are still many I haven not yet touched.)
This is also kind of strange seeing as Badgers are (arguably) the most 'magical' of the creatures (wisdom=magic?) and Lord Brocktree or Lady Cregga or Sunflash never went around giving advice to all the goodbeasts.
Anyone got any ideas about this thing I found?

[Ashleg]

Martin is the "spirit" of the Abbey.

And I do not recall other characters coming back as ghosts or being reborn like Martin (Matthias) was, but I am not against the idea of it. In fact, I have used it myself for RolePlays. Seeing as Martin did not have magic during his lifetime, perhaps it's just something spirits can do, and most choose not to do it because they want to rest but Martin wants to be Redwall's defender even after death.

Well I think that Raga Bol's seer was real magicc but hey who knows.
