AHHH YOU HOPPED ON THE TREND TOOOOO
I LOVE IT
You can still share those, since I would classify fantastical powers/abilities as magic on this topic. Basically we’re here to talk about any fantastical abilities, technically magic in-story or not. XD
Okay perfect!
I’m still fleshing those out a little as to why and how their powers work, but I’ll share some in a bit!
Heeyy, you’ve got it really fleshed out!! A lie-based magic system is a great idea. I would ask you more questions, but I can’t think of any right now because you fleshed it out so well.
Thank you so muchhh <33 Aw girl I was worried I was going on a rant nobody would be able to follow…so I’m glad you could follow it!!!!!

Okay everyone, I’m gonna share some of the races in my world!
Aquinos:
Aquinos have blue skin, hair, and eyes. They have the power to pull moisture out of the air and manipulate it. If there is no moisture in the air, they are helpless. They also tend to be easily dehydrated if they’ve used their power too much, but most of the time they can simply pull moisture from the air and rehydrate.
Azers:
Azers have red/orange skin, hair and eyes.
Azers have a special gland on their palm that releases extremely flammable oils. The oils are indetectable and feel like sweat or water.
Azers kind of are like reverse-Aquinos, because instead of pulling moisture from the air and leaving the air dry, Azers pull the dry air part out of the air and leave moisture in the air. When they rub the oil on any object, they do this and somehow it creates flames. They have extremely tough, thick skin and flames don’t burn them (and their hair isn’t flammable and doesn’t burn) They have the ability to produce a large amount of the oil and become flames themselves, covered in head to toe in fire.
If the air is too humid, they are helpless.
If the air is dry, they are practically unstoppable. This is why Aquinos and Azers are natural enemies because one can easily overpower the other depending on strength and environment.
Pitts:
Pitts have varieties of characteristics. Some have green skin, hair and eyes, others have olive complexions with green hair and eyes, some have green skin eyes and brown hair. But all of them have earthy undertones of green, olive, or brown.
Pitts have the power to sing and manipulate nature through their amazing voices *insert jazz hands and sparkles and unicorns*.
Their beautiful voices can coax the most stubborn plants to dance around them and do their bidding. They cannot manipulate people this way (though some Pitts that have become Pythonos are able to do this because being Pythonos corrupts your already existing powers).
If a Pitt can’t sing, they can’t control the plants as they do not have telepathic powers. As long as they are unbound and can sing, they can control the plants.
They are very skilled at defending themselves, so Pitts are hard to subdue.
Estrellos:
Estrellos can bend light. They have the power to pull light to themselves, and some view this as the power to manipulate darkness. In reality, darkness is simply the absence of light and so they are really just light benders.
They can allow light to pass through them, making them invisible.
At a glance, Estrellos don’t appear very powerful, but they are extremely hard to find when one doesn’t want to be found, and they can easily blind people by directing light from the sun straight into a person’s eyes as a defense tactic.
Estrellos typically have hazel eyes, tan skin and blonde hair.
Estrellos have a special organ at their core (located mid abdomen, near the base of their ribs) that allows them to do this. If they are unconscious or this organ is either surgically removed or held stagnant with a drug, they are helpless. Also, if they are stabbed or bruised enough, the organ will not function properly, so that’s an easy way to defeat one as well.
The only way to capture an Estrello would be to either kill them or knock them unconscious, or they can easily overpower you.
Erstonians:
Erstonians live across the Nordvick from Andromeda (the main continent). They were banished from Andromeda due to their dangerous powers to shapeshift and perform mind illusions on people (banished long before the Pythonos took over).
They have their own government and are essentially an entirely different race of people, though they once lived with the other races and are technically Andromedans.
They can shapeshift at will and can “hypnotize” people. They are a rough people, constantly partaking in bloody tournaments.
However, the Pythonos haven’t succeeded in overtaking Erstonia, because of their natural barriers and fearsome military.
Paynes:
Paynes are the result of a genetic mutation that occurs when one parent is full Andromedan and the other is human.
Some are horribly disfigured, some resemble humans or their Andromedan parent, and some even have part of their parents’ powers.
The reason the Pythonos made the Paynes a scapegoat was because they wanted to unite the Andromedans against a common enemy. If they could succeed in lying to the entire population and convince them that Paynes were worthless, they could bind almost everyone to their lies, becoming stronger all the while.
Also, Paynes are the one race of people who do not physically have the ability to transform into Pythonos. However they are more vulnerable to the Pythonos’s lies, which is why several Paynes are sold as slaves to the Pythonos, just as a source to feed Pythonos power (this is what happens to Sef later on in my book)
More little things I came up with:
- If, for example, an Azer and Pitt have children together, the child will NOT be a mix of both. The child will either be Azer or Pitt. But in some rare cases, genetic mutations occur and the child is a mix. An example from my book would be Ottoline, who is half Azer and half Aquino. this is a rare and interesting case, because fire and water are constantly battling, trying to overpower each other. The effects of being a half breed are agonizing and drive most to madness. Most half breeds die before the age of five. Ottoline has a split personality, as it is the only way she can cope with the agony of being half fire, half water. She calls her Aquino side Naami and her Azer side Ottoline. She’s very unstable and can’t control when she switches between her two selves, or her own powers.
- Before the Pythonos, Paynes were looked down on, but not hated. They were kind of ostrasized, but they weren’t outcasts.
- Naturally, each race seems to gravitate towards each other, because they are familiar. Azers tend to live with Azers, and Aquinos tend to live with Aquinos, and so on, but they don’t hate each other and they welcome other races, for the most part. Azers and Aquinos do have a violent history and they just don’t like each other (which is why Ottoline being half of each is so interesting and unique to write)
- The Pythonos first moved in and took over all the Payne cities, before moving on to take Lir. For the most part, they treated the other races well, but treated the Paynes like animals, relocating them and destroying everything they owned.

Are the runes like tattoos on the characters’ skin? Or are they magical symbols seared into the characters’ minds? Basically how do the runes manifest physically, if at all?
So someone must be born with runes, and the runes are technically birthmarks, but they look more like tattoos.
On a non-living object the process can be different for different materials.
If you say h as ay-ch then I hay-ch you (jk)
#AnduthForever (Lord Willing)Wow, name-changing is becoming a common trend.
Tsk, tsk. No self-deprecation allowed on this topic.
Now you sound like Andrew lol
Does Chase have the element of Creatures? After all, he is the ultimate ✨Disney Princess✨!
I have that meme saved somewhere…
Yes, he’s actually the reason that element came to be. He’s also the reason I decided that Shyiads and Slyiads are born with both elemental and energy powers.
And the Wondian unicorn does this, right? So can fantastical beings have these abilities?
Yes, at least the one Chase knows. I haven’t decided if all unicorns have this same power, I’ve pondered giving each unicorn a different one.
Yes, fantastical beings can have these powers, though they usually are rare.
Oh, an interesting thing about dragons from my world is they often have a lifelong connection to something or someone. This could be an element, a person, a befriended creature, or even a season. It’s just a little fact that you didn’t need to know.
STOP!!!!!!! Have you eaten Breakfast???
