#(vex magic)

[convexicalcrow]

When my perennial interest in alchemy smashes into my minecraft hyperfixation. Pondering a minecraft alchemical text and an entry in the Vex Magic Grimoire where Cub’s talking about the process for fusing vex magic crystals into potions and the effects that has on potions.

Idk I just think it's a crazy thing that on the foreground the magic broom of flying is side by side with Percy's cane, which is way more down-to-earth but no less a reminder of a miracle

The raid was going fine until Scar froze time. At least, that's probably what happened. If the raid wasn't going fine before then, it would be comforting, but Scar couldn't really remember it very well, to be honest. He remembered lots of panic, which was normal whenever he did a raid, but Grian had been doing fine, last he recalled. Very self-sufficient. Impressive!

It probably had to do with the fact Scar refused to wear full armor. It wasn't meant for tree elves--the cold metal was uncomfortable! Grian couldn't yell at him for that!

He could definitely yell at him for this, though. This was a bit of a problem, even Scar could see that.

The raid was going fine, honest! It was fine! Until, well, an evoker had cornered him, and he'd panicked, and Grian had dove towards them with his sword out, intending to help, and. Well.

His magic was defensive. It really wasn't his fault, if you thought about it. Vex magic was fickle!

Scar did do this, though, and they did have a problem. He floated above the ground, his skin tinged a ghostly blue, and felt the red pulse through his veins. He sighed.

"G, I messed up," he complained, turning to his friend, "I--"

He stopped. Grian wasn't standing next to the evoker. He wasn't even standing where the evoker had been.

He was floating. Right in front of Scar. Tiny, blue, and glowing, with his miniature white wings splayed out behind him, his features blurring into each other.

"Ohhhhh, oh no," Scar moaned, putting his head in his hands. "Oh… oh no."

He should have known this would happen. He should have known! Whenever a vex spawned, an allay would follow, and Grian had killed the evoker. If it had hit the evoker, the magic would have just dispersed with the totem, but no, Grian had to come and play the stupid hero…

It really was all Scar's fault. He didn't look up.

"Scar?" Grian said shrilly. "What did you do?"

"You're an allay?" Scar replied timidly.

"I'm a what," Grian hissed, poking at his tiny wings. "What did you do?"

"Vex magic? To phase through the evoker's fangs?"

"How does that have anything to do with me," Grian said. "Also, aren't you supposed to be an elf?"

"The ears are fake," Scar said solemnly. "And you just--happened to be in the blast radius! I don't know! Cub is much better at this than I am!"

Grian paused. "…you could have been wearing armor this whole time?"

Scar's ghostly face flushed. "No! I mean, technically, yes, but it's so unfashionable! It doesn't match my hair at all!"

Grian stared up at the sky, clearly exasperated. His eyes were pure white. Scar shifted uncomfortably, resolutely ignoring the fact that he wasn't really sure how to fix this. It would be fine. Someone had to know, right?

"Well, at least the raid's stopped!" Scar said cheerfully.

"The raid…?" Grian glanced down at the nonchalant crowd of pillagers milling about. "Oh. That's… nice, I guess."

"Yeah, they don't register us as players anymore," Scar said, waving a hand. "So they can't see us!"

"They--they don't see us as players? Are we mobs now, Scar?" Grian stared at him, wide-eyed.

"Um." Scar said. He tried to think of a response that sounded sure and like he hadn't accidentally just unmade his friend's code. "…no?"

Grian's expression did not relax. His eye twitched. That was impressive; Scar didn't think he'd ever seen an allay so frustrated. It was a novel experience.

"Can we at least get the stupid vindicator for your prank before they start trying to kill us again?"

"Why not?" Scar shrugged, floating over to the minecart. He pursed his lips, focusing for a moment, and…

Pop! His hands solidified. Quickly, Scar snatched the minecart's edge and sent it flying towards a nearby vindicator. The poor mob didn't know what hit him before he was facedown in the cart, unconscious.

"There! Easy, see?" Scar grinned, turning to Grian. "All part of my master pl--"

His sentence was cut short by Grian barreling towards him erratically, like a butterfly that had just emerged from its chrysalis, and phasing right through the edge of a house before he managed to stop himself about three centimeters from Scar's head.

"These wings suck," Grian panted, jerking wildly in the air, obviously trying to stay steadily aloft and failing miserably.

"You're supposed to float, G. Not fly." Scar demonstrated by doing a little flip in midair.

Grian stared at him as if he'd grown a second head. "What? That--no. That doesn't work!"

"I just did it." He did another flip in case Grian had missed the first one. "See?"

Scar might have just exploded his poor winged friend's brain. It was as if he'd entirely bluescreened from the blatant disregard for physics spirits like them showed.

"Chin up, G. Think about all the pranks we can play until we turn back, being able to float and phase through walls!"

Grian brightened slightly, begrudgingly, temporarily abandoning his worries about flight and movement in his strange new form. "Well. I won't say no to a little bit of pranking, once we get this fella back to your base."

"Of course, of course!" Scar said nonchalantly, solidifying once more to push the vindicator on course. "Adios, raiders! It has not been fun!"

Pranking would buy him some time to actually figure out how to turn them back. Probably. Or at least get Cub to do it. It would be fine!

So, I just started watching Cubfan's pov of Hermitcraft Season 9 and to me, seeing him nonchalantly fighting an army of blaze to get their blaze rods just to make "Coffee" potions- from a mob that normally burns the tar outta me- has got to be one of the most raddest things ever. So I drew it.

[convexicalcrow]

(Same Anon with that hex idea, just rambling a bit.)

Cub looked at the picture from Double Life of Grian and Scar, then one of BigB and Ren. "and your sure about this?" he asked Scar.

His partner nodded to that, green eyes cold and hard, "Very... I want them to know who they are messing with." he told them as Bdubs sat beside him.

"alright then." Cub said with a shrug, as he ripped both photos in half, he took Grian and BigB and carefully put them on top of the vex magic block. Watching as frost covered the edges of each photo. He took Scar and Ren and carefully put them into a fire. The smell of herbs and potions with it.

Then, Cub took his hands over the photos on the block. "Little creatures of mischief, I call unto thee. Vex you are call, my masters, my friends, I seek vengeance for me." he whispered softly, as cold puffs of breath escaped his mouth. "Crystal the lies from your webs of deceit, expose their traitorous nature beneath."

Scar watched as frost grew along the photos and grinned widely, sharp teeth and all. "Vex O Vex, I call unto thee. There is a traitor in our midst who needs to be seen. I give to you my blood as an oath, binding and willing to your ears. Only then can my vengeance begin and be near."

The air was cold and tense, the sound of giggling laughter was heard as the flames turned to a silvery light blue. Bdubs looked at the flames, "Masters of mine, I stand as witness to the other wronged. Vex O Vex, I call unto you. Give my brothers what is due. The revenge he seeks, the pain is taken away. Feasting on his blood is what is called for today."

There was a hissing sound around them, as their eyes glowed blue. "We three speak the power of words, a payment due, no more no less." Cub carefully cut his hand, passing it to Scar, then who did the same giving it to Bdubs. Their blood ran down the vex magic block. "vex o Vex, take flight and be free. As we will, so mote it be."

There was a rush of magic between them all, as the giggling faded out the open window and into the dark night. And with it the frosted ashes of the photo.

oh well done anon! <3 honestly couldn't have written it better myself. this is such a good opening for it ngl. <3

CRITICAL ROLE vs. THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA

PASSED THROUGH FIRE (2x05) - PART 1

[linkito]

Tease! D: (/j <3 ) Now I'm just going to have to sit here and speculate! Is it a finite amount of magic Scar can channel at once? or in his whole life? Is it the world messing with him? the weakness potions causing an issue? combinations of the above?

-🎀

ok ok I’ll stop being such a tease— and behold! an old drawing!

It’s a combination of a lot of things happening to Scar at the end of the Mimic Arc Part I. He’s been continuously doused with weakness potion for several days, which has certainly taken its toll on him, and in all honesty, is more than enough to trigger a flare up in his legs / muscular dystrophy alone. But instead of dealing with that in the slightest, he has an outburst of vex magic.

Not only that, but an extended outburst.

Normally Scar only utilizes this full vex form for a matter of minutes, but this is different. He uses it to find Grian, and he doesn’t relent until they find somewhere relatively safe. By this point, he’s been pushing himself way past his limit and begins to suffer the consequences.

And while, no, there is no finite amount of magic a vex hybrid can utilize, there’s a few problems with what Scar did:

Vex magic is emotion-based, and Scar is still not accustomed to using negative emotions to empower him. He typically relies on things such as loyalty and love, but this is perhaps the first time he’s truly embraced rage.

He used too much of it. It’s like a constant stream of energy being expelled to aid his strength, and now he’s left with practically nothing.

He’s physically exhausted from the potions and overexerting his body. Normally he could potentially lean on his vex magic in a pinch when this happens, but not this time. This time it’s only made worse by the strain of magic overuse.

In short, it’s not immediately life threatening, but he’s going to be vulnerable as he recovers. Very vulnerable.

…and if Scar tried to push even further? It could very well backfire and cause him to more or less burst.
