Yeah, there isnt really any magic in that universe. However, if they dressed it up and gave it all kinds of flavor text around it being alchemical or something, I could see the same mechanics being used.

Still dont see the point, though.

The Monster Hunter Universe is generally "Magic Free".

So I don't think that would fly to introduce it after 10+ game iterations.

If you want to call it "Magic" like Ancient Fire Sticks (Gun Powder in a barrel launching a ball of lead). Then sure, that would work "In Universe".

The bowguns already have variants that do exactly this tho.

Isn't that closer to how Snake Charmers use music to control the snakes movement in a dance like rhythm?

There's magic / magical shit in Monster Hunter but there's no wizards or anything like that.

The kinsect is more like a drone. It's not a living thing.

It's not the part about monsters effectively (but not literally in the rules of the fictional world) using magic I had an issue with. It's the "might as well apply it to the human players despite that never having been the case, for obvious design reasons." that was a bad take.

my dudes the lore in monster hunter is about as fucking dull as can be.

theres some STRANGE creature MAKING TRACKS go investigate that shit boi!?!?

turns out its a monster

oh dope kill it

As if adding form of magic is going to disrupt this exceptionally deep, tightly woven narrative.

So what's your explanation for how my Hunting Horns non-magically buff and heal people through sound?

What narative, that looks like the text on the back of the box.

Ah, I see. Well, transforming weapons, hunter arts, and other anime bullshit was never the case for obvious design reasons, either...until it was. Capcom made the same game about 20 times before Generations came along and made it interesting again and if they decide that magic staves are the next thing they're gonna try out then I say bring on the MAGIC MISSILE

What? What makes you think the kinsect isn't a living thing? In the opening cinematic for MH4U, it moves its claws around ambiently while on the Hunter's arm, it seeks pheromones shot from the glaive, and rather than "upgrading kinsect" you "nurture" it.
