Blood Magic, Necromancy & More: The Dark Side of Fantasy Magic

Magic in fantasy worlds is wonderful, thrilling, and sometimes even poetic. But let’s not kid ourselves; not all magic is sparkles and unicorns. There’s a whole lot of muck, blood, and sinister whispering in the shadows. Let’s take a stroll through the darker alleys of magic systems. Just be careful where you step. Blood Magic: The Price of Power Blood magic sounds pretty cool until you…

au where hypno is a demon!

the human xb summons him not to sell his soul but with a business deal, see, demonic deals work that its a soul in exchange for whatever you want, not necessarily your own soul, but a soul. hypno cannot interact with people except his summoner, but xb can run a business where he asks for “harmless” IOUs from people, getting them to sign a piece of paper which is actually a contract for possession of your soul. since xb is a regular human, it would mean nothing, but with hypno’s help it’s magically binding and they enter a mutually beneficial deal where hypno gets a ridiculous amount of souls and xb is given what he wants by hypno.

their partnership starts off solely as a business one, but as time goes on, they grow closer and also begin to care about the business that was just supposed to be a front for them to gain souls, and once xb gets the power and wealth he originally wanted, they focus their efforts on growing Horsehead Farms as a company. they advertise themselves as a “safer” alternative than dealing directly with demons, giving people whatever they want in exchange for an IOU - not a real soul (it is their real soul, but they don’t tell them that). they manage to become a major competitor to all of hell. since it has a human head of the company, people assume it is more trustworthy. xb and hypno engage in all sorts of evil capitalistic ventures

eventually hypno gets kicked out of hell, a feat no-one thought possible, for ruining every other demons’ livelihood, and is reincarnated into a regular human. xb is investigated by officials due to the scammy and dangerous nature of Horsehead Farms, and in an epic car chase where xb tries to escape, he crashes and dies. for all the human lives he’s ruined by stealing souls, he is sent to hell and becomes a demon. they find eachother, and seeing how there’s still one human and one demon overall, they see no reason to not start their business again

Question to my black gamers/writers, what hairstyle do you envision your self-insert or your MC wearing when going on these long-ass journeys and quests with their hair? What protective styles are y’all using? What type? Locs? Braids? Crochet? Cornrows? Mini-twists?? How do you story-wise work in the maintenance? Are they wearing a scarf/headwrap? How’s they get said headscarf? Do they wear their world’s equivalent to a bonnet? How are doing their wash-days; where do they do it? What products are they using and where do I get them?

on one hand i don’t think you can blame nick for any of the destroyer stuff in a way that would hold up in court (and I think he probably punishes himself about it enough already.) but. on the other hand. if biden’s nephew became friends with prince george, fucked off to england, killed(?) a bunch of his employees and vulnerable refugees, conducted what looked like bomb testing on american soil, and then everyone was like “it’s fine because He Was Possessed” you know i would start killing

Playing Metaphor ReFantazio is the closest to the joy i had first playing Drakengard 3 (i fucking loved drakengard 3)

Dont get me wrong. Metaphor is made eons better quality, is turned based and not action comvat, and does not have a former sex worker turned goddess killing her sisters to save the world as the protagonist. But what they do have in common, is depicting an immediately Richly realized fantasy world that has a fuckton of depth and is realistically realized and political and fucking fascinating. Drakengard 3 (and all the Drakengard/Nier games) have phenomenally realized worlds with such interesting lore and history and ramifications (and themes) because yoko taro is fucking great at that part of stories. And Metaphor, finally, is a new fantasy game Im playing that is offering up a world that is just as unique and memorable and interesting and richly realized.

Many magic systems are punishing or unpredictable in some way, and I love the systems that lean into those aspects, but what I love most is when magic systems are dangerous. I find myself drawn to the idea of magic as not only risky to use/perform, but outright dangerous to attempt. I want to see more magic systems that are only a little nice to casters.

In the land of dreams, where fantastical beasts roam, A decision lies, its consequences to savor or doom. Through realms of magic, creatures vast and grand, The choice must be made, in this wondrous, mysterious land.

[fiction-quotes]

Sometimes, magic is like that. It lands on your head like a piano, a stupid, ancient, unfunny joke, and you spend the rest of your life picking sharps and flats out of your hair.

  —  The Boy Who Lost Fairyland (Catherynne M. Valente)

[rhythmicreverie]

A choice was made within the realm of dreams, Where dragons soared and magic bloomed, A significant decision loomed, With consequences far beyond seams. The hero's heart, in balance teetered, Between two paths, no time to fretter, For in this choice, a future feathered, In magical realms, where fantastical beings danced and swayed, A decision made, a life unraveled, The tale of the hero, forever engraved.
