Arcane Affinity Genesis (AAG) gene, known colloquially as the 'Magic gene', encodes the Arcane Affinity Ribonucleic Kinesis (AARK) protein which enables biological and chemical interaction with compounds and elements composed of or contains Magic.

Origin


It is speculated the Arcane Affinity Genesis (AAG) gene first evolved in a primeval cell which became the LUCA of all living organisms capable of utlizing magic on Faerrum.

Hypothetical explanations for the AAG gene


The cause of such an exotic adaptation is heavily disputed and many theories have been proposed to explain such an adaptation.

In response to the abundance of magic on Faerrum

Those who think that in response to the abundance of an available resource (in this case magic), organisms evolved the magic gene as a way of exploiting its abundance.

This explanation argues that since magic is a resource in abundance, natural selection would favor organisms that managed to access this resource as well as utilize its unique properties would gain an advantage and naturally pass on this gene to future generations.

However; the genetic sequencing of multiple species of plants and animals on Faerrum reveal the notable absence of the magic gene, suggesting that it could be the result of convergent evolution.
