over-psychoanalyzing blorbos is healthy and needed enrichment for the girlies in order to avoid over-psychoanalyzing themselves. like giving a dog a chew toy in order to redirect chewing on its hind legs

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

Wind-Based Magic System

So, I want to share the magic system I've been working on for my story! I wanted to make something at least a little bit unique, and since the fight for freedom is my main theme, and I've always loved using the wind as a metaphor for freedom, I landed on a magic system that revolves around the concept of wind.

It's named Windcalling! Or just Calling, for short. It's users are, thus, Windcallers, or simply Callers.

Callers are divided into ten Kins, each of which has access to two Wings of Calling. Said Wings are as follows:

Manipulation: It grants the user precise control over the air/wind in a wide area around them, including manifested/solid wind (see Manifestation below). This allows them to create strong currents in whichever direction they please. Seen as the weakest power, but it has great synergy with all the other wings.

Manifestation: It grants the user the power to manifest wind, giving it a solid form, also called Wind Essence. It can have any shape. Essence is extremely hard and tough, but light.

Mutation: It grants the user the power to change the composition of the air in several ways. The most typical is accelerating/decelerating the particles that make it up, heating/cooling their surroundings.

Internalization: It grants the user the power to metabolize wind, obtaining enhanced strength and agility. Also has great synergy with the other wings.

Deception: It grants the user the power to create artificial sounds, sights and even smells.

Each Kin also has unique powers that are born out of the combination of their Wings. The ten Kins are as follows:

Stormbringers (Mutation/Manipulation): Can manipulate the weather.

Skywatchers (Manipulation/Internalization): Can change their weight.

Truthshapers (Deception/Manifestation): Can create solid illusions.

Windbreakers (Manipulation/Manifestation): Can Manipulate the objects they manifest.

Bladecasters (Mutation/Manifestation): Can heat up/freeze the objects they manifest.

Soothsayers (Mutation/Deception): Can cause hallucinations that only select people see.

Talebearers (Manipulation/Deception): Can communicate from far away by transmitting sound via the air.

Soulstealers (Deception/Internalization): Can change their own appearance.

Willkeepers (Manifestation/Internalization): Can create thin layers of Essence around their skin that act as armor.

Snowdrifters (Mutation/Internalization): Can regulate their body temperature and are immune to high heat/freezing cold.

If anyone is wondering; yes, it's possible that I was reading the Stormlight Archive when I came up with this system.

The main magic users in this setting are nobles from the highlands (for more info, see my post from a few days ago where I share a fragment of the novel this system is from and I explain a tiny bit of relevant worldbuilding). There are nine noble houses, known as the High Houses, that are the overlords of the continent. Each High House is related to one Kin of Windcalling. So, for example, the House of Calais is made up of Bladecasters, and so on.

As far as everyone knows, the power is genetic. The members of each High house have natural access to Calling. They're supposed to be descended from the ancient legendary figures known as the Guardians, who were the first to wield magic. You may notice, however, that the numbers don't match. Ten Kins. Nine Houses. There is a reason for that, and a reason why one Guardian was wiped from the legends. The truth is, there is more to this power than it seems. However... that is a story for another day.

...did I make you curious? Hahahaha, I hope so. In any case, I hope to keep sharing stuff about this story that's been living in my brain for the past, gosh, nearly three years now? I'm thinking of doing some character introductions next, concerning my dual protagonists, Saroth and Leiden. A lowlander and a highlander, both of whom have, as far as they're concerned, lost everything (you can read a few paragraphs from Leiden's POV in the post previously mentioned!). If you would be interested in that, it's coming soon, so keep an eye out! I love talking about my brainworms very much, and I enjoy it when others take joy out of listening to me do it :]

Have a wonderful day, my friends, and I wish all of you all the luck in the world in your own creative endeavors! I'm rooting for each and every one of you.

EDIT: Saroth's character introduction is up! You can check it out here :>
