Reading your magic system was really interesting! I love it. I didn’t realize Chase and Baron were from the same world

Thank you

And yes, they are both from the same u…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin

WHAT HAVE YOU TWO DONE?? XD

That’s just plain brilliance. Disastrous indeed, but brilliant nonetheless.

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Oh my gosh I was so confuzzled… XDXD

@whalekeeper  @loopylin

Welp. This has taken a while. I’m gonna do something though…

By the way, what does Brea look like again? She’s sounding a lot like Nadian, who has black curls, a dusky rose-olive complexion, and dark brown eyes. Basically a little girl version of Viktor but with their mother’s facial structure. Alyona favors their…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

What the………

@whalekeeper

this is probably the most confusing email I’ve ever received 

@loopylin @whalekeeper

What have you done.

@whalekeeper Hmmm ya know what? Maybe I will change my name.
hehe

@whalekeeper @rae Thank you for the compliments, kind strangers whose names I do not recognize 🩷

@koshka

do you want to go again or are we waiting for @whalekeeper ?

I think for the moment this is more of a Rory/Leo conversation…. but if you think she should RP next that’s fine.

@whalekeeper

You can share one of your systems if you want, Jonas! I think it’s safe to say you have a few. XD

You could say that…                               (It’s about 13…)

I’ll see if I have a good one I haven’t talked about much.

I once beta-read a book which is now published, and it had a big magic problem which the author didn’t rew…

@whalekeeper

Wow, name-changing is becoming a tread.

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…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

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 dif…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

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 w…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

One of our foreign pastors was killed a week or so ago, and the pastor closest to him got a death threat. There is always this real sense of “oh, somebody in our church may have actually known him,” or at least been very familiar with his work.

Oh. I’m sorry about that. That’s scary. I tend to think of missionaries being killed as a t…[Read more]

@koshka    @whalekeeper

YAY!!!!! I was literally just thinking about this!

Rory

Rory lowered his gaze. “You’ve seen me fight. I’m skilled. And that’s without a weapon. Give me a gun or a knife………” he shrugged. “They trained me well. I’m skilled and I’m dangerous. They want me to continue to fight for them, to train other to be like me…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Throwing in a short RP.

Leo

He raked a hand over the back of his neck and let out a soft sigh.

“We need a plan to either make these creeps move on, or kick them out. Not sure which one of those will be easier. Although…” His gaze trailed over to Quincy, sound asleep with a fist curled in Silvia’s skirt. He…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Okay, I have some time today, so I’m going to write out my thoughts and advice. I might come back to this tomorrow.

So, for anyone who’s interested, here’s my tips for

Designing Magic Systems

I like to think of there being three main aspects of a magic system: Access, Effects, and Cost. Access refers to any prerequisites for using…[Read more]
