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.

Would anyone be interested in testing a posepack?

I'm making a Posepack for you guys, and I'd like to have a few people test it before I release it.

Would anyone be interested?

(It's about Waving Royals)

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

#pokemon #pkmn #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd #tag games #someone might've done this concept already but i had a worm in my brain you know. #i thought itd be fun to list all the unevolved pokemon... now i know there's only around 400 evolution lines total! #.. not counting mythicals legendaries ultra beasts or paradoxes #by the way! alongside the shiny result there are two other bonus results: an obligatory pikachu and... a surprise!!! #finally feel free to let me know if i misspelled something or accidentally included an evolved mon (other than pikachu) #sorry long tags ha 😅 i'm done now

[theshadowrealmitself]

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

#star trek #Vulcans #Humans #not based on a specific thing #but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’ #who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field? #like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq #and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first #would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate #and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for #and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance #the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times #they were just dicks #and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it. #it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible #you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier #but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks. #that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on #and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post #but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks #and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be #replaced #hated that couple #if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us #(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀) #liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people #that no one else wanted to be friends with #I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone #this got long sorry 😭
