On the magic system in Mike's world

So I think I've briefly mentioned this before but I just decided I would talk about all the things I have decided with magic for this world. cause why not. apologies if this is worded poorly I don't feel like fully thinking through my sentences.

So, two worlds, one is the og the other createf by magic-users when they had to flee for one reason or another, yadda yadda. Not sure why I'm mentioning this tbh.

the magic world is based around the medieval times or smth. there's the nobles, middle class, and peasants. of course there's also the ruling power whatever it is exactly.

the nobles are generally powerful mages and it is believed that peasants cannot use magic for it is "too powerful for them uwu" or smth. the peasant part is a lie. there's propaganda to make sure people keep believing it cause smth smth keep the status quo. of course there's been people who defied this but they were quickly disposed of and covered up. Mike's the first one who got away yanno?

but that's context or whatever. actual magic time.

the short summary I would give is imagine an rpg spell tree but the amount of skill points everything costs is different for everyone.

casting a spell uses stamina. How much stamina is used depends on a few things: your affinity (what magic is easiest for you to use), how difficult the spell is, whether you are casting it alone and familiarity with the spell. there are also probably factors like are you in a magical enviornment (or maybe one that's comforting to you?) but that's more of an aside. Each person also has a different amount of base stamina and you can train or smth to increase it but ya know. maybe I should call stamina mana but whatever.

I have not really figured out how magic is used though. What it takes to cast a spell besides stamina and the knowledge of how to cast a spell. Unfortunately.

So Mike's affinity is fire. That would mean that casting fire related spells is easier for him. Like, he could make a flame appear in his hand and put it out with minimal drain on his stamina but if you asked him to move a plate from the kitchen table to the sink it would take a Lot of effort, make him Very tired. if he could even be able to do it. Still, if he put his mind to it 🤔 though hmmmmm... whether he would be able to learn non-fire related spells is up for debate. we'll see.

Will invented longings, love sighs, desperate love beats and heartfelt glances. He is the most lover-boy of the lovers-boys.

[hawkinsbnbg]

Today, Mike had woken up on the wrong side of his bed so he was especially vicious as he ranted about anything he found irritating about Steve.

He hadn't even reached the midpoint when Dustin decided to rip him a new one. Which, yeah, was fair because he didn't usually do Steve that dirty. But his bad mood had taken over and he found himself arguing with Dustin.

"It's not like you don't gripe about him every day," Mike retorted heatedly. "In fact, you are the one making fun of him the most out of everybody here," he gestured widely at the others (Lucas cringed, Will looked guilty, Max and Erica high-fived each other, El nodded calmly, Eddie just gave him a little wave).

"That's because I'm his brother," Dustin said matter-of-factly while adopting Steve's signature mom pose. "But who are you? You're just his ex's brother. Without Nancy, you're just a random kid to him."

(Eddie, Max, and Erica looked at each other with the same smirk. "Oh, that burns."

Lucas just sighed helplessly as Will and El watched on in amusement.)

Mike's nostril flared indignantly. He would never ever admit this, but while he thought Steve was lame and an idiot sometimes, he respected Steve plenty. Not enough to admire, but enough to fight Dustin for him.

"So what? I know him longer than you," Mike fired back. "I have more M&M's and 3 Musketeers from him than you do, I played baseball with him every weekend, and I also watched Star Wars with him."

"You do understand what ex means, right?" Dustin narrowed his eyes at him. "Nancy's his ex-girlfriend, ergo you're his ex-something, ergo you need to stop living in the past. You know why? Because I," Dustin pointed at himself smugly, "am his favorite now. I'm the present and the future. His shotgun, his house, his pool, his snack cupboard will forever be mine, thank you very much."

And just like that, all hell broke loose.

Because not even Will was willing to accept that bullshit. Steve never had a favorite, okay? As their babysitter, he wasn't allowed to.

"What the fuck are you fighting for?" Mike glared at Erica who was (impressively) making Dustin wail like Mew on the floor.

"Steve still owes me a lifetime of free ice cream, duh," she looked at him like he was an idiot. "Stop talking shit and come help me."

A wise man once said: "Enemy's enemies are friends."

So it only took Mike a second to give her a hand.

———

"Why didn't you stop them?" Steve asked in exasperation, thinking about the fistfight that would've taken place in the Wheelers' basement had he not interfered on time.

"'Cause the more they eliminate among themselves," Eddie leaned in closer and whispered conspiratorially, "the less I gotta fight to keep you."

"But I'm their babysitter," Steve pushed him away with a finger on the forehead. "And you're supposed to make it easier for me, not harder."

"Sweetheart," Eddie grabbed his wrist and nuzzled his nose into it, "Just say the word and I'll make something harder for you right now."

"You're incorrigible," Steve rolled his eyes, but his pretty smile had betrayed his mood.

"Yeah, all because of you, baby," Eddie pressed his lips on the back of Steve's hand. "O prithee, my princess, give me the remedy."

"What if I don't have any?" Steve raised his brow.

"You do, darlin'," Eddie pulled him close and cradled his face. "My tonic is right here," a kiss on his forehead. "My joys," on his eyelids. "My happiness," on his his nose and then his mouth, "my love."

Later, when they cuddled in bed, sweet and tender after loving each other til midnight, he would tell Eddie there was no need to ask for him in the first place.

Because he had been Eddie's boy since the day the battle vest was draped on him.

It seemed Steve did have a favorite, after all.

Except, it was none of his kids.

Truly a tragedy.

Michael knows how to deal with FNAF Lolbit

[mikesbasementbeets]

Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.
