#Febchantment Mastery of magic really depends on the individual, because everyone interacts uniquely with their own magic. If you can use your magic with perfect control and flawlessly achieve all that's possible within your power range, you could say you've truly mastered your Gift.

#Febchantment There is a hard physical limitation on how much magic one can draw from the ether at once, based on the strength of the Mage-Gift. Magic also takes a physical toll, especially when drawing a lot of it. Powerful magic-users will find that it's incredibly easy to "overstretch" ... 1/

#Febchantment There are known gestures and stances of power that assist with drawing magic from the ether, especially if it's going to be a powerful spell (a large amount of magic). Generally, specific incantations are not necessary - but that depends on the type of magic. 1/

#Febchantment 10. Why, yes, how did you know martial arts movements are involved?! There are, indeed, movements that accompany the manipulation of the Breath, more "elaborate" the more complex a spell is. Words are more commonly heard from arcanists. Do you know when (1/4) #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#Febchantment Literally nothing except yourself and maybe some space to work with (so the power doesn't spill over into someone else). And make sure there's NO silver too close by because it will affect the flow of the magic. Unless you're doing blood magic (dark sorcery). (1/2)

#SundaySnips Putting Nico & Fish and their mutual yearnings to one side... I quite like this passage of Albryan and Velda's stated wants... there's yearnings which may or may not quite match up 👀 Fresh from the latest chapter of Goddess of the Dark!

#SundaySnips | yearn That I don't have words-wise, but the feeling's definitely there - in this specific snippet, Archer's just carried Sabbat through into the bathroom so he can have a bath while his legs're still not working. ( saranadosfiction.com/2023/12/29/s... )

Happy Sunday, #SundaySnips! I've chosen the instance of "yearn" in the Stardance sequence which is giving me so much trouble! From my #JaneAusten style #Regency #Romance X #Fantasy crossover WIP #Ellamir

#Febchantment All magic flows from the source, which is an existential plane of its own. Beyond that, not much is understood since even magic-users can't communicate directly with this plane. The Morgei call it their mother goddess, and it sometimes seems like magic has a will of its own... 1/2

#Febchantment Day 7 Fox lays claim to her flames for the first time, much to the annoyance of the demon that was previously defeating her easily.

#AwesomeCharacters Nico and Fish get pretty restless if they aren't constantly doing each other tbh 😁 But in all seriousness... Most of my characters are lazy bums because I have strong religious trauma from being brought up protestant and I need to tell myself it's okay to just exist. 1/2

#Febchantment 6 For my #Atlantis trilogy, the magic is crystal-based because that's part of old Atlantis lore, thanks to some goofy Victorian mystics 😅 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't also inspired by Disney's take on Atlantis. The system itself is also hugely influenced by alchemy in FMA:B.🧵1/4

#Febchantment #⚔️🌿🌼 I'll stick to just talking about The Witch of Eden Hollow for today's prompt. 🌿As I said the other day, for Elias' magic I was inspired by the nature themes in D&D druids. But I also wanted dive into spirituality and have him follow a goddess that he dedicates his life to. 🧵1/6

#Febchantment My biggest inspirations for this magic system in particular are Mercedes Lackey's books, especially the Tarma & Kethry stories and The Last Herald-Mage. (If anyone notices some parallels between Vanyel and certain of my own characters, I'm not gonna deny them. 👀) 1/

#Febchantment Magic flows through everyone and everything (like the Force tbh 😁) but only those with the Gift can wield it to their own ends. For whatever reason, the only race of people who possess the ability to wield magic are the Morgei, who believe that it was a gift from their goddess... 1/

Happy #Febchantment Day 4 The Dark is more than just simple darkness in the Woods. It is something ancient, powerful and reaching. It enshrouds the Woods and obscures any natural light from above from breaking through its canopy. It can also be drawn upon by any foolish enough to try.

#Febchantment Most of my terms & definitions are fairly loose, but there are two concepts that crop up a lot: "ether" or "the ethereal plane," and "focus." The ether is where magic resides, and the Mage-Gifted are attuned to it at all times. "Focus" refers to the control or willpower needed... 1/

#Febchantment Magic is a force that flows through all living beings, part of the natural order. Central to this is the concept of other worlds, or "planes" of energy. Magic naturally flows from the source into the ether, and magic-users can pull it from the ether into the "mundane" world. (cont)

#Febchantment My magic systems are definitely always on the soft side. There are some basic ground rules, but I want to maintain that sense of wonder & have the flexibility to introduce new concepts whenever I like. The magic system in Forest of the Morning...

Weird Pride is a celebration, but also, always, an act of defiance - perhaps now more than ever.

Hello #Febchantment! I'm going to be talking about the magic system from the Forest of the Morning trilogy. It's a secondary-world fantasy in which there is a race of people (the Morgei) who are naturally "blessed" with the gift of magic. It's an intrinsic part of their culture and identity. ✨
