Simple Tips for Magic Systems

Typically splitting the writing/explanation of the magic helps me to convey my point.

What is it?

just a general explanation of what the magic actually is, maybe a vague explanation of how it works. Who can wield it? Is it genetic or learnt? What does it look like? Stuff like that.

Purpose

The narrative purpose of the magic is it used for flashy fights that hold more emotional weight through the outcome of the battle, or is it the enchantment of an item and the giving of such an item, means something?

Origins/history

This is self-explanatory and I personally believe this is important, although really only works with medium-hard magic systems, soft systems can have it but may cause issues in world-building.

Techniques/methods/Casting

Obviously, it must be explained to some capacity how magic is done and what happens. eg. if 𝑥 is added to y then 𝓏 will occur. Of course, this is respective to what the magic is itself. It’s mainly the place to further expand on the ‘what is it?’ section.

Limitations

THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE. Please, cripple your magic to hell, and bring those who wield it down to a level only slightly above the normal person. OR create a cost that is great enough to be debatably not worth it in certain situations. of course this really depends on the hardness of your system. This is also where you put something like the cost and price of your magic.

Progression

how does the magic evolve over the course of a wielder’s life? whether they learn or have it genetically handed down how does one get better at magic?

I’ll be posting an example of how this looks when paired with an actual example soon, so you’re welcome to follow for that, otherwise, I hope this helped! Have a great day :)

Coming out to the bestie

Based on this picture! I remembered it last night and thought it suited allium duo so I did a speed run to draw this akjsddkfe

things jon missed while stalking his colleagues:

the fact that sasha had been half lined up for gertrude's job and how that would be a pretty good murder motive

the discrepancy between elias's hiring in 1991 and how he said he was working as a filing clerk in 1972

tim's brother's mysterious disappearance/death directly preceding his change in careers

martin's real age and literally any of his academic or employment history

conclusion: he's bad at this <3

Some folks were asking whether the frames in the new trailer were hand-drawn: yah!

I tape them to my desk and just draw little crosshairs on each so I can line them up post-scanning. I tried to get a pegboard but they were too small ToT Paper for ants...
