Family Charms

In the city of New Capenna on the plane of the same name (though it wasn’t always named that way), five crime families run every operation. Each of these families was run by a part-demon head and has a symbol that functions as a taglock.

The Obscura (WUB) are the detectives...that use the information they gain to extort people. Their leader is the sphinx demon Raffine. The Obscura symbol is a hand, keyhole, and dagger.

The Maestros (UBR) are the art aficionados and museum keepers...who also think murder is art. Their leader was the vampire demon Xander, who has since been murdered and passed leadership to Anhelo, his vampire second-in-command. The Maestros symbol is a chalice and two crossed knives.

The Riveteers (BRG) are the construction and maintenance crews...who may have “accidents” on the job. Their leader is the dragon demon Ziatora. The Riveteers symbol is a hammer and an anvil.

The Cabaretti (RGW) are the entertainment, the druids, and the celebrities...who aren’t above extortion and keeping politicians in their pockets. Their leader is the leonin demon Jetmir, whose second-in-command is his adopted elf daughter Jinnie Fay. It’s unclear if Jetmir survived in canon as of writing this. The Cabaretti symbol is a leonin mask.

The Brokers (GWU) are a law firm...that make demonic contracts. Their leader is the aven demon Falco Spara. The Brokers symbol is a quill in an inkwell mixed with a bird's head/wings and a shield.

For these charm spells, you will need the following:

Three (3) energy sources, each aligning to one of the three colors of each family.

A symbol of the family: a picture of their symbols, pictures of their founders/heads, or imagery of the charm cards.

A chant written for the family in question (some examples included here).

In order to cast any of these, hold the first energy source for the family and say the first line of the chant. Then hold the second one and say the second line. Finally, hold the third one and say the third line. Close out the spell as you normally would.

Obscura Charm

This spell is to reclaim your energy from a spell cast for someone else, counter a spell sent against you, and then return someone’s bane to them.

Selenite, sodalite, and obsidian will be the White, Blue, and Black sources for this spell (respectively).

By the Obscura, I recall my old energy. By Raffine’s guidance, I protect myself from your influence. By the power of the sphinx, I return your harm.

Maestros Charm

This spell is to determine what’s coming at you, drain an enemy’s energy, and burn them for trying to hurt you.

Amethyst, obsidian, and jasper will be the Blue, Black, and Red sources for this spell (respectively).

By the Maestros, I will see what’s coming. By Xander’s gifts, I will drain the energy of what tries to hurt me. By the power of the vampire, I burn those in my way.

Riveteers Charm

This spell is to fuck someone up, get ahead of them, and keep them from getting ahead of you.

Obsidian, bloodstone, and malachite will be the Black, Red, and Green sources for this spell (respectively).

By the Riveteers, fuck you and what’s yours. By Ziatora’s flames, I will get ahead. By the power of the dragon, you will be blocked.

Cabaretti Charm

This spell is to strengthen your allies, be they other magical practitioners, servitors, thoughtforms, spirits, or whatever, as well as gathering more aid to your side.

Jasper, bloodstone, and selenite will be the Red, Green, and White sources for this spell (respectively).

By the Cabaretti, my allies and I burn you. By Jetmir’s influence, I strengthen my allies. By the power of the leonin, I summon aid to my side.

Brokers Charm

This spell is to empower yourself, break someone’s influence over you, and figure out your next step.

Bloodstone, white onyx, and amethyst will be the Green, White, and Blue sources for this spell (respectively).

By the Brokers, I strengthen myself. By Falco Spara’s rulings, I destroy your enchantment. By the power of the aven, I find guidance and resources.

Post Notes

Other variations of this spell can be crafted through what the charms can do. You can even narrow down the spell to each single effect that the charms are capable of in-game.

Jinnie Fay or Anhelo could be invoked in place of Jetmir or Xander (respectively). If invoking Jinnie Fay in place of Jetmir, replace the third line with “By the power of the elf, I summon aid to my side.”

When doing one of the charms to see what’s coming at you, make sure to follow up the casting with a divination session using a method of your choice.

The Fixer, The Idea, The Planet, The Protector, The Seer

If you're familiar with my MTG excursions on my main blog (@jasper-the-menace) or spells on my primary occult blog (@jasper-pagan-witch), then you know that I am New Capenna trash. Hell, even my profile picture is the full artwork of Diviner of Fates, an online-only card from a New Capenna set.

New Capenna is based on 1920s art deco America, with streets run by five demonic crime families. The only demons there are the five family heads - Jetmir of the Cabaretti, Xander of the Maestros (whose family keeps consistently failing), Ziatora of the Riveteers, Falco Spara of the Brokers, and Raffine of the Obscura.

Considering I adore the set so much (demons in suits, come on, what's not to love?), I wanted to include the five heads in the Forty Servants deck.

The first I picked was Falco Spara, Pactweaver as the Protector. The Brokers (the family that Spara leads) are demonic lawyers. They handle things both mundane (such as property disputes) and stranger (soliciting magical pacts that you don't remember signing afterwards). Since the Brokers often serve as hired bodyguards, it makes sense to connect them to the Protector.

The second of this batch to get an archetype was Raffine, Scheming Seer as, well, the Seer. I feel like I could end this explanation here. But let's talk about her Obscura: wizards and illusionists, both legitimate and fraudulent psychics. They use their power to deceive and blackmail anyone - sometimes even each other.

Jetmir, Nexus of Revels is the Fixer. He's the head of the Cabaretti, an organization of party monsters descended from the bards and druids of Old Capenna. This organization also notably tried to turn a teenage girl into the angel-derived party drug/magic enhancer known as Halo. So...the Fixer, who will do literally anything to reach their goals, makes perfect sense as Jetmir himself. Also, there's literally a card called "Jetmir's Fixer". Pretty on-the-nose.

The Idea became Lord Xander, the Collector, who is an artist from a long-dead aristocratic house and proprietor of the Museum of Old Capenna. His Maestros are both artists and assassins - usually pulling double duty. He's also canonically dead and his organization keeps getting its shit rocked or ruined by extraplanar threats. Sucks to suck.

It was hard to find the right spot for Ziatora, the Incinerator. Eventually I went with the Planet, because Ziatora is a freaking dragon and is canonically the largest of the five family heads, emphasizing the awe, scale, and size of the Planet Servant. And her Riveteers are the reason that New Capenna is what it is now; the worker's union is able to build and break pretty much every part of New Capenna, which - as far as people left in the city know or care for - is the world.

These five are so connected that it didn't make sense for me to only select a handful, even if some were more of a stretch than others.

Re: “humanoid” as a batch

A big problem with this idea is that many creature types are used to depict both humanoid AND non-humanoid creatures. Displacer Kitten and Jetmir are both cats, but one of them is humanoid and the other one isn’t.

One of the big problems, yes.

[vorthosjay]

Genuinely curious, if Gravebreaker Lamia and Thoughtrender Lamia can coexist, why not pop culture Rakshasa and traditional Rakshasa (or was Thoughtrender Lamia also a mistake)? Why not keep the five cat demons that exist as they are and just make non-cat demon Rakshasa going forward? Also, biblically accurate angels when? :p

I don't really know that much about Lamia, but if they added the snake stuff the second time around it's probably cause they were trying to fix it. Probably for similar reasons to the Naga change.

Why did they fix Hyalopterous Lemure in Dominaria Remastered? They had the opportunity.

There's a Khans of Tarkir Arena Release coming at the same time they're getting reading for Return to Tarkir. The timing was just good for making a change. Frankly, I don't know if those cards are even getting new art.

In any case, Rakshasa are already a demon variant, confusing the name between the 'I spent five seconds thinking about this' DND version and the real, cool thing seems pointless. Especially when you can... just have other cat demons. And we do, with Jetmir, and I'm sure will again.

Biblically accurate angels are a fun meme. I wouldn't mind Ophanim labelled as angels, but that would sure set off a scripture debate as to whether or not they're really angels or just... literally the wheels of god's throne.
