omg also im soo mad i e been listening to rhis worldbuilding podcast at work and it was giving me lots of ideas but i had to turn it off bc i took like..an hour on a room bc i was so focused on jt and my beautiful world.. and i forgot all the ideas i had 😭😭 all i can remember is my fairy thing and that isnt even a from today thoufht

#bc bssicallyyy the way magic works is every living thing produces Some magic. like its legit produced by an organ in all lviing things. and #how Much you produce is like. it can be influenced by a lot of factors genetics etc but everybody produces some. so thats all well and good #and the fairies technically dont produce lke. more magic rhan humans yk. kts actually Very similar levels BUT bc theyre so small that amt #of magic is proportionally a LOT. thats why fairies glow is bc they have so much magic (magic glows and in humans who #have a lot of magic they also tend to glow around their chest :] omg and alsooo some of the ways magic can be channeled is likee. through #your hands or your voice theres rly so many basically. and its very versatile but its likee #so im stoll working on the rules for it but basically the idea of it is like. it can be used as a form of energy and also as temporary #form of matter if that makes sense ?? idk how to explain kt)#But anyways so the fairies theg r soo little but have sooo much magic proportionally. so fhey can '#fly' with it (not rly flying rly its more like making little platforms to walk on in the air... this parts jnspired by kekkaishi cant even #lie to you i thjnk its awesome when they do that.) so ya #and technically a human could do the sane thing but the platform would be bigger and bearing more weight so it wouldnt rly be as like.#practical.. bc 1 human sized platform would be like..1000 fairy skzed platforms LOL. yk. but yeah so yeah #n then on occasion fairies are born with very low amts of magic (this happens with all creatures everybody Has magic but some ppl have so #little that rhey cant do much with jt) n these 'fairies' +#(theyre usually called something else but they r fairies. ive been calling them borrowers in my head but thats copyrighted skull) usually #cant live in fairy cities bc. well. fairy cities r very oriented around being able.to use magic to navigate them. so in antiquity the #borrower fairies would form sort of like. Underlayer cities where youd have the main fairy city up in the trees and then on the ground #would be the borrower city. but that started getting dangerous especially when tthe bigger ppl started expanding their territories and #stuff. so borrower fairies ended up forming Way more secretive communities either underground or like. oftentimes there will be entire #borrower communities in a house yk. and u see where my jnspo is comjng from yes i love the borrowers yes i watched arrietty a few weeks ago #but yeah :] the borrowers are wayyy more secretive bc they cant defend themselves against the big folk the way the magical fairies can yk.#so fairies are Known (though not often encountered bc of how defensive they are of their cities)#to humans but borrowers are WAYYY less frequently seen bc they go out.of their way not to.#theres ALSO. so. as mentioned magic is produced by an organ. normally if anything happens to that organ youre like. dead. yk. you cant rly #live without it. However fairies have figured out a way to majorly decrease your magic levels while keepjng you alive #like 50 percent kf the tjme it works the rest they just die. its a surgicql procedure basically and its Intensely guarded #as in 1-2 ppl know how to do it at any given time and if anybody else fjnds out theyre killed immediately. the only ppl who know it Exists #r like. theee highest ranking fairies in existence. its used as a punishment for the most 'heinous' crimes. aka the ones the fairy monarch #dislikes the most -_-. its not a Technical exile but like. yes it is..yk. since as i said you rly cant navigate a fairy city if you dont.
