How magic works in witch woods, In addition to spells, enchantments have more days of attacks or runes

(Similar to darkwoodtale au or anime isekai)

Okey-dokey

Let’s start with the basics and then breakdown from there.

There are 8 schools of magic:

Conjuration - the manifestation of Creatures, Energy or Objects

Divination - the revelation of information

Enchantment - affecting or influencing the mind or behaviors

Evocation - the creation of matter or energy from nothing

Illusion - the changing of the appearance of something or someone

Transmutation - the change of matter, objects or persons

Abjuration - the suppression or protection of and from magic

Necromancy - the manipulation of the dead and their spirits

Each one of these schools has a corresponding High Mage (sans Necromancy and Abjuration)

Now the principals of practice

‘One shall not Transform Another’

‘One shall not Bind any Being Against it Will’

‘One shall not Break the Passage of Time’

‘One shall not Reach into Another’s Mind’

‘One shall not Open the Gates Between Realms’

‘One shall not Bend the Borders of Life and Death’

These aren’t rules, more just guidelines in the common witches opinion.

Onto the fun stuff

Witches have a reservoir of magic inside of them, like a pool and every time they use their magic it empties a bit. If the pool is emptied completely but they continue to use magic they tap into corrupted magic, which is like poison to the body.

And finally, how does magic work.

A typical witch has 2 types of magic, primal magic and then either Passive or Caster magic

Primal Magic

Primal magic the simplest form of magic, every witch has access to this magic. This magic consists of weak healing, fire and light magic. When a witch turns 11 these are the first few things they can do. Sometime witches can make small bits of lighting but it’s very uncommon.

Passive Magic

Passive magic works almost entirely off of emotional intent. It doesn’t require casting circles or rituals, though passive witches still take part in these activities.

Passive witches are often quick to bond to familiars, allowing them to siphon off a small amount of magic from their summoner.

Passive magic has a will of its own, leading to it being volatile if emotions run high. Passive magic that goes too far out of control can create destructive storms and devastation.

Passive magic doesn’t take much to use, but a large amount of practice and control is needed when wielding it.

Caster Magic

Caster magic is wielded through caster circles and rituals. Witches who use caster magic often spend time writing and planning out rituals. These witches have a Grimoire (a book of spells)

Caster witches will often be found to tattoo, carve or burn casting circles and runes onto their person so they can use their magic without using words or drawing their circles much like passive witches. Some witches have been found to draw runes on cards to use as throwable spells.

Caster magic, if not used properly, can backfire to devastating consequences for the caster.

Caster magic is easier to control due to its very nature, but it can take a lot of knowledge and experience to be used effectively.

An example of caster and passive witches working together would be passive witches acting as a ‘battery’ to help large scale casting circles.

Binding and Contract Magic

These a pacts and agreements made with familiars and companions respectively. Companions are typically other witches or fae folk who wish to serve a witch in return for shelter, food or magic. Familiars are usually summoned and bound to their summoner until either one meets their doom. Familiars syphon off excess magic in amounts depending on their type. Like a common sparrow wouldn’t take as much as say a demon or firebird would

Okey-dokey now some questions ^^

How is magic learned?

All witches have access to primal magic. They develop into either Passive or Caster class witches.

Magic is typically taught by parental figures or coven elders. For higher learning, often young witches will travel to seek out larger covens or high mages.

What is the cost of magic?

Magic cost energy, much like exercise. Witches are born with a limited reserve of magic, but these reserves can be increased but the witch practicing healthy lifestyle choices, like eating good food, sleeping well and resting.

Witches will often sleep over entire seasons to build up large reserves, often in winter. A hibernation of sorts.

I probably forgot some things, so if I did I will add to this, not to worry. I didn’t realize how scattered all this information I had was until I had to sort through notebooks, notes and my word document for Witch Woods info just to find everything.

These are the basics of magic for Witch Woods, and by extension Ivory as well.

[Video description: a rough animatic using ROTTMNT characters. A toddlerish version of Raph wearing an oversized tee shirt walks for a few seconds. The camera angle switches to him looking up and he asks "Daddy?" He wags his tail as he asks. The camera pans out to show that he is standing next to Draxum, who is holding a box and looking down at Raph with annoyance. It switches to a bust shot of Draxum, who says "Do I look like-" End description.]

Basically how part one of Not Quite Hidden goes lmao

I like drawing Kuro. He's just a little guy :)

+ another one I like a little less under read more

And I'll use this read more to also remind everyone here that reblogs are better than likes. Support artists! Reblog their art! This doesn't just apply to me! Go through your likes and reblog the art you liked!

As always, image description is in ALT.

#dungeon meshi #kuro #traditional art #furry #kobold #anthro #I had a lot of fun with these. I hope it shines through :) #the original painting is actually quite large and is high resolution #but the website I use to host images doesn't allow files over 7Mo aha #fun fact: I drew these in front of a mirror. An alternative to live drawing with a model LOL #I recommend it. It's quite fun (and because the positions aren't always comfortable it forces you to be quick!)

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories #are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox #anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun #to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people #the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying #it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell? #but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks #and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower #because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism #(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here #in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top #of those themes instead of through it) #ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting #SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT #unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable #thief the dark project #i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP #sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know #garrett thief #basso thief

forgot to mention it before but hi I finally started reading Dungeon Meshi like a week ago and now I decided to color in one of my favorite pages so far

#dungeon meshi spoilers #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi fanart #falin touden #manga panel coloring #Bennett's Drawings #Chimera Falin's design is so fucking cool. I really wanted to do something to give it some appreciation #the wings were quite fun to shade #took a while for Dunmeshi to really grow on me- I actually started reading it months ago but forgot to continue reading. As I usually do #I think it was somewhere around the point where falin gets resurrected that it really clicked for me #I'm like at chapter 77 now btw #it was very difficult to put the manga down last time I was reading it but I really want to spread out my reading experience #so I actually like. Remember what happens in the story. Instead of binging it and immediately forgetting everything
