I always have a random assortment of thoughts relating to nothing in particular. A lot of it is fantastical nonsense. Yet because of it, I've developed my own fantasy powers and a way to randomly generate powers for other people based on their interests and favorite things as well as their personality by a series of random questions.
What's my Fantasy Powers
The ability to absorb mana and turn it into anything, but the form it typically takes is the form of feathers. Whether that's clothes, or tools or other objects. It's always got a feather or wing on them or is, in fact of them. I can use in general magics if they use any kind of surrounding mana. From healing to magical bolts. I can perform any role given my versatility or provide magical weapons with special enchantments.
Any weapons I create end up being made of purely feathers ruffled together in the shape of a weapon, possibly more than one feather, and or seemingly wing shaped solid object that kinda feels like a real wing but isn't real is actually the manifestation of my will via mana. I can even make tools like keys or in general workman tools, etc. Can either be magically wielded or will imbued, of which may have their own piece of me within them for a time. (I'm like my own workforce haha) I'm also consciously aware of all weapons summoned by me and who has them. I can send magic through them to the individual for healing or increased buffs to the weapon or tool.
My primary skill is transforming mana into threads, of which often take the form of clothing or some other thing. I can create my own wings, I can change the color of anything I make. I have another ability I refer to as wardrobe of plumage. Of which is where I can design my own brand of feather clothes. I can even create my own vehicles in the shape of various birds to carry people or things, but takes medium mana to sustain.
I do have, however, combat related abilities. Any tool i make is always feathershaped. Wing sword? Feather dagger? I have an AOE attack called feather storm, which allows me to form quills in rapid succession, of which are razor sharp imagine getting stabbed with that shit.
I also have a transformation ability, which has a cool-down. It allows me to take the form of any bird I've seen, but I also have a larger and more mana heavy ability that allows me to transform into an avian dragon. (Dragon with feathered wings and beak) I have traits such as avian voice, which allows me to copy not just anyone's voice but also any sound or animal. I can partially transform my body as a modification, allowing for talon hands or other limbs and enhancements.
I have a trait that allows me to absorb the hate of my enemies and turn it into my strength. The more they hate me, the more powerful and larger I can become. It also allows for self-healing, being almost completely invincible if they hate me enough.
I have a sort of limit-break ability? I can absorb all the self stored mana I have in my pools and continuously drain the ambient mana. Doing this transforms me into my Phoenix form, which allows me to endlessly pull mana from the environment and other people.
This ability is directly connected to my passion and caring for people and things. The more I feel, the more I become engulfed in flames from the feathers that surrounded me. This ability has a very large cooldown, and I would pass out after having timed it out, which is essentially when i stop using it. It's a last resort sort of ability that has both beneficial and detrimental effects.
One benefit to this ability is that it's insanely powerful. I nullify any magic user as totally useless. They can't cast any magic at all. As though the entire widespread area is under anti-magic aura, but in fact is under the influence of my primal flames trait, which again, allows me to constantly drain mana within an area of effect.
Another benefit is that if someone is capable of killing me while this ability is in use, I'll simply burst into flames and emerge from the ashes totally refreshed but with all abilities and traits locked for a few days. This power also extends to any allies within the area of effect. If they die. They're reborn from their own self combustion, except they won't have the same restrictions as I do, their powers and abilities will be entirely refreshed with zero detrimental effects.
A few other benefits are not just self-healing, but the healing of allies and the burning of all enemies within the area of effect. Enemies are under a constant ethereal burn of transcendent damage, and even after exiting the area of effect, they are marked by my primal flames for a short time if I wish to pursue them. The area of effect for this ability also moves with me.
Even if I'm killed during its use, the primal flames will remain upon them, giving them a constant drain on both HP and mana. It can't be healed or removed. It simply has to time they have to hope they have the vitality to sustain it.
The downsides to this ability are very heavy. Not just in how long it takes to recover from, but also how it causes me to become incapacitated after its use. Surrounding myself in winged cocoon, I sleep until I am restored. After my initial days or weeks or perhaps even months, depending on how long i used the ability. My own abilities will remain locked during that time. In which I might suffer mild pain to headaches. My mana regenerates very slowly, and I may be slow to move. This ability in its entirety is mainly for the protection of others as well as it is for self-preservation.
And yeah..that's it? I guess. I'm pretty imaginative when it comes to this stuff. Very fantasy litrpg inspired things. This was fun really fleshing things out lol

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…

something something gorgug’s “mindless rage” ability negating the charmed and frightened effects and returning him to clarity and how said clarity matches up with the themes of rhythm and concentration and the “a-ha!” moments that are all too characteristic for an artificer. i love you forever gorgug

It's been a minute, so I have a little gift for my 4, 5 followers. Zero context angst made with free background materials on Ibis Paint X. No blood, just childhood trauma.
I lied. Have some context.
I'm writing a novel (maybe a series, we'll see how many pages I want to use to tell my story) about four rulers given gifts of the elements early in their childhoods. They had no idea at the time, but their gifts were the result of the near-end of the world.
Four spirits who kept the magma beneath the planet's crust flowing, the stones together, the water from drying up, and gave Delinia's inhabitants air to breathe were part of a race of a humanoids affected by a withering sickness caused by a demon possessing two of them.
These four were the last spirits in existence, and if any of them passed, the world went with them. They gave their powers--- including their connection to the planet--- to a woman named Astrum, also know as the Star Sailor, to deliver to human vessels who could keep them safe with their newfound immortality.
One of them, Charlotte, the Human Water Queen, found out when she was six years old. She was out playing with a friend at the beach a bit longer than she was supposed to. She simply thought about starting a splash fight with them, and the water did as she commanded. She had fun with this power, seeing how high she could make the waves go.
In the process, she started a flood that killed twenty six people. The event was most commonly known as Charlotte's Flood, but also well-known as The Great Flood of Marithea.
Tumblr media
Now you know why she's crying. And yes, the royal blue tears were an aesthetic choice.
