#just designed to harness and build magic power

[mobbothetrue]

Sometimes a dream hands you a super interesting magic system. Don’t know why I started that sentence with the word sometimes.

They were called clacks. Came in different colours, but were all the same size. Rectangular, about the length of my hand from palm to fingertip but narrow enough I could hold multiple at a time.

There was a very specific art to arranging them to get them to do anything, from which colours you picked, to how many layers you built, to how you placed them. They were really finicky.

In my dream I was nobility, my father the king had married a cruel woman and she wanted me put to death so that she could inherit the throne. I didn’t blame her for this, but when she tried to take my clacks I got pissed as hell.

I built a spell that was both anti-scrying and that would make me invisible— about seven dark green clacks in the middle, and then six ivory clacks on either side. Two layers.

Another thing about spell casting through clacks was that there was no way to tell if the spell worked. For some spells it was more obvious, sure, but I didn’t realize that I fucked mine up until I got caught. Placed the invisibility clacks wrong.

I remember there was also degrees of power in clacks, depending on how well made they were. It was a point that whenever I was allowed to ask for a gift, I would ask for more clacks, because as royalty my every other need was provided for and the kind of clacks I was using cost a small fortune. I remember thinking trying to get every kind of clack at once would surely bankrupt the castle.

So it was kind of a big deal when I destroyed one.

I don’t remember how I did it, either. One moment I was being lectured for attempting to make off with my own clacks, the next I was holding a clack that was ghost white and transparent. It felt, texturally, like a bar of soap that had been left to soak. It felt like I was holding a star.

I woke up before I could discover the repercussions of breaking a clack, but boy am I glad the magic system decided to stay with me. What the hell.

[sunsetconcert]

what a miserable existence metal sonic must have.

you are better. by default, you are better. you beat him over and over again. he KNOWS that you beat him. in a straight fight, in a 1v1, you will win every time. but of course, this implies that it will be a 1v1. this implies that he won't cheat.

you build yourself up. you harness the power of everyone and everything, every last scrap of knowledge and power you can accrue, you try so hard and you tear yourself apart to become something new. this is not magic. this is not chaos. this is YOU. this is your intellect, this is your design. everything that is happening right now is because you stood up and said that it's happening now. because you give a damn, because you fight as hard as you can every day even when all you want to do is prove to somebody, anybody, that you are REAL and that NOBODY CAN TAKE THAT FROM YOU--

and he wins. he wins because the universe says so. he doesn't deserve to win. he's lazy, and arrogant, and he thinks everything will just work out. you spend days-weeks-months-years trying to figure it out-- and then you see the footage. the most damning thing of all.

the chaos emeralds that he used to destroy you, to cast you down from heaven's gate-- he didn't even collect them all himself. he didn't even get half. he got one out of seven.

one.

he couldn't even be BOTHERED to collect the emeralds himself. the victory he lords over you, the body he stole from you, the identity he stomped on and destroyed-- he couldn't be bothered. the world you were going to make was stolen away by sheer happenstance, because other people did his work for him. because he couldn't be fucking bothered to try.

and they call YOU the monster.

the fucking audacity of it all.

Monster Spotlight: Thorgothrel

CR 8

Lawful Evil Large Ooze

Adventure Path: Iron Gods: The Choking Tower, pg. 90-91 (image taken from the Starfinder Alien Archive 3, pg. 114)

These excessively cruel creatures hail not from the Darklands or any strange plane in the Outer Sphere, but from within the universe itself. Arriving in ships designed for their protoplasmic forms, Thorgoglbltr-- I'm just going to shorten it to Thorgo. Arriving in ships from beyond the stars, Thorgos are a species of beings who consider themselves both advanced and enlightened enough that they know what's best for all life in the universe, and what's best is being really, really stupid. That's a dramatic oversimplification of their goals, but the slightly-more-complex-but-still-short-version is that Thorgos consider sapience to be a naturally self-destructive phenomenon, and that any species which evolves sapience is sure to bring ruin to not only itself, but its whole world.

Of course, rather than simply devolving themselves to senseless protoplasm and living out the rest of their existence in atavistic peace, they harness their intelligence to build starships to cruise out into the universe, because they simply have to inflict their vision of "peace" on every species they encounter, whether or not said species desires or even moderately agrees with the Thorgos' assessment. They're explicitly noted to have the technology and knowhow to perform downright miracles, their ability to perfectly manipulate the genetic structure of any lifeform they encounter after just a few short minutes of study--something which takes scientists in our world decades in carefully controlled laboratories--granting them the potential to eradicate any disease, repair any genetic deformity or defect, heal any wound, and effectively solve any problem that could be solved with a specialized lifeform... but in a similar vein to a certain other mad geneticist, Thorgos don't want to do any of that boring "make better societies" stuff, they want to remove sapience from every species in existence. Every other species first, naturally.

To this end, Thorgos have Atavistic Manipulation, a dangerous ability that's attached to their two slam attacks which themselves are stapled to the ends of pseudopods with a 20ft threat radius (10ft space/10ft reach). Not only do they deal 1d6+6 damage each, but more alarmingly they cause the targets to bleed Intelligence, something we've only seen once before on creatures with similar goals to the Thorgo. Unless the victim receives a DC 15 Heal check or some form of magical healing, they lose 1 point of Intelligence every round until they're rendered completely comatose as the protoplasm of the Thorgo invades their body and overrides their mind. Furthermore, if a Thorgo spends an hour tinkering with a creature's biology after the victim falls unconscious, the atavistic alien can cause the Intelligence damage to become permanent, setting the victim's max Int to 1 and requiring Heal, Limited Wish, Wish, or Miracle to undo.

And if you think what they can do in the field with their own two pseudopods is scary, it gets so much worse when they start hauling people back to their ships for more intense experimentation, up to and including making the atavistic regressions hereditary. If a species evolved sapience once, it stands to reason it may do so again; they have to be thorough if they want to make sure a world 'blessed' by their presence stays blessed.

But! We're not talking about their labs or other tools right now, we're talking about a basic scout/scientist. Every Thorgo comes equipped with that skeletal doohickey you see in their center, a generator that feeds the slime the electricity it needs to survive (which is why they're immune to Electricity, among other things) AND projects a powerful Force Field, the slime shielded from every angle by a shell of 40 hitpoints that recharges by 10 each round so long as it's got at least 1 hitpoint left in it. Unlike the Robots whose Force Fields require an entire day to recharge if they go offline, the Thorgo's advanced fields can be repaired in a single full-round action and a successful Disable Device check (which they have a +8 to) against a DC of 15... and they need to, because their bodies swiftly and dramatically break down in the presence of most atmospheres, including Golarion's own.

A Thorgo without its field loses 1d4 Con every single round until it gets the doohickey up and running again, putting a harsh time limit on how long it can stick around to fight... but because it's limited to a 20ft movespeed and no methods of swift egress, a Thorgo without its field will likely have to swiftly dispatch its foes to give itself the time it needs to get its field active! Good thing that its Poisonous Sublimation is a double-edged sword! The gas a Thorgo breaks down into when it's exposed to hostile atmospheres is violently poisonous, filling a 20ft cloud with lethal vapors that instantly kill any creature with 6 or less Hit Dice if they fail a DC 17 Fortitude save, which must be made every round one stays exposed to it. Creatures with more than 6 Hit Dice don't fare much better, losing 1d6 Con each time they fail their save! A DM wishing to use a Thorgo as a boss fight against a 5th~6th level party may want to reconsider the encounter, or at least weaken the poison, because managing to break through the thing's first layer of defense only to suddenly lose half the party to the resulting gas cloud will likely not go over well on the table.

While their shield stays up, Thorgos are still dangerous. They can subtract 5 HP from their shield at any time to launch a Force Ray, a touch attack dealing 10d6 Force damage to its target, making this a literal case of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't.' Hopefully the party has some method of petrifying the thing, because little else will work; attacking its HP directly will inevitably break the shield and unleash the Baby Cloudkill, but there's almost nothing else that can be done thanks to its pile of immunities. Thorgos are immune to Electricity and Cold and have 10 Acid Resistance, and despite being a sapient Ooze they retain the Ooze's normal immunity to all mind-affecting effects. They also can't be poisoned, put to sleep, paralyzed, polymorphed, or stunned, and you can't really effectively burst them down to avoid multiple rounds of the poison cloud unless you're a Vital Strike Enjoyer with some exotic two-handed weapon hitting them and them backing away, because they're also immune to critical hits and ALL forms of precision damage besides.

At least Fire and/or ranged attacks still work! Shattering their shield means they can no longer use their fierce ranged attack, letting a ranged party plink the slow-moving slime down with little issue. Just mind the reach, and try not to send the 6 Int Barbarian in for longer than absolutely necessary.

You can read more about them here.

ITS HERE, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE MY WHOLE NEW ASS COURT AND YOULL READ THE FANFIC, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON AB THEM🥹

The Zephyr Court: A Kingdom of Wind and Spirit

The Origins of the Zephyr Court

The Zephyr Court, known in their native tongue as Mahkamat al-Nasr (محكمة النصر), is one of the oldest and most mysterious courts. Nestled in the Nafas Desert (صحراء النفس), an expansive land where the sands stretch endlessly beneath a sky painted with perpetual twilight, the court was founded over ten millennia ago by the prophetess Al-Nasira. She is revered as both the creator of the court and the mother of its people. Legend has it that Al-Nasira, blessed with powers bestowed by the gods, harnessed the winds and shaped the first oases with her breath.

Under her guidance, the first inhabitants of the desert learned how to live in harmony with the harsh elements. They understood that while the wind could be their greatest adversary, it could also be their strongest ally. The desert gave them life, and in return, they devoted themselves to protecting it. Thus, the Zephyr Court was born—an empire forged from the sand, wind, and unwavering spirit.

The People and Culture of the Zephyr Court

The people of the Zephyr Court are deeply spiritual, bound by their belief in Nasreenism, the worship of Al-Nasira and the elemental forces that govern their world. Their society is built on principles of hospitality, generosity, and respect for nature, particularly the wind, which they view as a manifestation of Al-Nasira’s presence.

Despite living in the desert, they have developed intricate systems of water conservation, agriculture, and architecture that allow their cities to flourish within the arid landscape. Their sprawling capital city, Zahra al-Sahraa (زهرة الصحراء), or the Flower of the Desert, is a stunning marvel of stonework, with tall minarets, domed temples, and lush gardens that seem to defy the dry surroundings. Every street and building is intricately designed to catch the wind, allowing cool breezes to flow through the city. The air is always filled with the sound of the wind, which they believe carries the whispers of their ancestors.

Their culture is rich with music, art, and poetry. The people of the Zephyr Court believe that poetry is a divine language, and it is said that the winds themselves speak in verse. Their poetry often reflects their reverence for nature, love, and the ever-changing cycles of life.

---

Powers of the Zephyr Court

As descendants of Al-Nasira, the people of the Zephyr Court have inherited the ability to commune with and manipulate the winds. However, only a select few possess the full extent of wind control and elemental magic, known as the Ruh al-Nasira (روح الناصرة), or the Spirit of Nasira.

Wind Manipulation: The most powerful members of the court, typically the ruling Sultans or Sultanas, can command the winds at will. They can summon gentle breezes or fierce sandstorms, shaping the desert and protecting their lands from invaders. This power also allows them to move with the wind, traveling swiftly across the sands.

Spirit of the Winds: Those gifted with the Spirit of Nasira can tap into the wisdom of their ancestors, using the wind to communicate with the spirits of the past. These individuals serve as spiritual leaders, often acting as Oracles of Nasira, offering guidance to the court through the voices carried on the wind. It is believed that only the most pure-hearted and devout can hear these whispers.

Stormcallers: While most wind manipulation is gentle, some have the ability to call upon the fiercest storms. These individuals, known as Stormcallers, are both feared and respected, for they hold the power of destruction in their hands. Their role is to protect the court during times of war or crisis.

Healing Winds: The Zephyr Court also has a long tradition of wind healers, who can use the breath of the wind to cure ailments and injuries. It’s said that these healers can channel the wind’s vitality into the bodies of the sick, restoring them to health. The Temple of Winds houses many of these healers, who are sought out from across the realm.

---

Morality and Beliefs

The morality of the Zephyr Court is closely tied to their belief in the sacredness of the wind and their reverence for life. Their laws and ethics are built around these core principles:

1. Harmony with Nature: They believe that they are stewards of the land, meant to protect and honor it. Taking more than one needs, or destroying nature for personal gain, is considered a grievous offense. In the Zephyr Court, every drop of water is precious, and the balance of nature is always maintained.

2. Generosity and Hospitality: It is said that in the Zephyr Court, no door is ever closed to a stranger. Hospitality is considered one of the highest virtues, and refusing aid to someone in need is a serious breach of morality. Guests are treated with the utmost respect, and a shared meal is considered a sacred bond.

3. Strength through Unity: The court’s people believe that they are strongest when united, whether it is in battle, trade, or simply in their daily lives. Tribal divisions, while present, are rarely allowed to cause real strife, as they understand that survival in the harsh desert depends on their collective strength.

4. Warrior’s Honor: While the Zephyr Court is largely peaceful, they are no strangers to war. Their warriors, known as the Fursan al-Riyah (فرسان الرياح), or Knights of the Winds, are bound by a strict code of honor. They fight to defend, never to conquer, and take no joy in bloodshed. A true warrior is one who seeks peace.

5. Freedom of Spirit: The winds are free, and so too should the people be. The Zephyr Court believes strongly in personal freedom—freedom of speech, freedom to love, and freedom to follow one’s own path. Arranged marriages, for instance, are rare, as the court believes that love should flow naturally, like the wind.

History of the Zephyr Court

The Zephyr Court has seen its share of glory and hardship. At its peak, it was a center of learning, culture, and trade, with caravans crossing the desert to bring goods from distant lands. Al-Nasira, after founding the court, ruled for 200 years before ascending to the heavens, leaving her descendants to carry on her legacy.

The Golden Era: During the Golden Era of the court, they established themselves as mediators and diplomats between other courts. Their ambassadors were known for their wisdom and patience, often helping to broker peace between warring factions. Their University of Winds became renowned as a center for philosophy, medicine, and the arts.

The Sorrowful Drought: However, their prosperity was not without its challenges. Over 500 years ago, the Zephyr Court experienced the Sorrowful Drought, a 20-year period where no rain fell, and the oases began to dry up. During this time, many of their neighboring courts turned to war and conquest, while the Zephyr Court struggled to survive. This era of hardship is remembered in their culture as a time when the court had to rely on their spiritual strength more than ever.

The War of the Sands: After the drought ended, the court was attacked by a coalition of rival courts, jealous of the Zephyr Court’s recovery and wealth. The War of the Sands was a brutal conflict, but the Zephyr Court ultimately emerged victorious due to their superior knowledge of the desert and the powers of their Stormcallers. This victory solidified their status as one of the most powerful courts in the realm, but the scars of the war still linger in their culture.

Festivals and Celebrations

1. Rih al-Tahara (The Wind of Purity): As previously mentioned, this is the most sacred festival of the court. During this week-long event, citizens purify themselves spiritually and physically, offering poems and prayers to the wind. It's also a time for community, where families come together to renew bonds and offer forgiveness for past grievances.

2. Laylat al-Riyah (Night of the Winds): On the longest night of the year, the people gather under the stars to celebrate the Laylat al-Riyah. This is a night of storytelling, where elders share the ancient tales of the court’s founding and its heroes. The wind is believed to be especially active on this night, and many people claim to hear the whispers of long-lost ancestors.

3. Nasira’s Ascension: On this day, the court remembers the ascension of Al-Nasira to the heavens. It is a day of feasting, music, and wind dancing, where the people celebrate the life and legacy of their founder. The festival ends with a grand procession to the Temple of Winds, where offerings of incense and flowers are given to the goddess.

Tiny Library: Modern Fantasy Live on Gamefound

I have a game in the latest project in the Tiny Library series which is now crowdfunding on Gamefound.

Tiny Library: Modern Fantasy is a collection of 51 MOSAIC Strict cards from 51 different designers that could be combined together to build a modern fantasy ttrpg.

My card in the deck called Multi-Level Magic, which provides rules for buying into a magical MLM and passing that curse on to others to enhance your own magical potential. Like real life MLMs, the lofty promises of the card will remain unfulfilled for most. You can check it out here.

I'll talk more about the project and some of my favorites below!

What Is MOSAIC Strict?

MOSAIC Strict is a design constraint. I'm just going to talk about the basics and what a consumer would need to know. If you want the full explanation, check it out here.

Basically, MOSAIC Strict texts present a single rule, system, or concept. They are not full games by themselves and they make no assumptions about the rest of the game they might be slotted into. They might be able to be combined with other MOSAIC Strict texts, other games, or whatever rules players come up with. Players can take or leave them depending on how they fit into the play experience they want.

Now, is it possible to form a cohesive game from some combination of some of the 51 cards in TL:MF? I honestly don't know, but with 51 different systems and bits of lore, I'm confident you can get pretty close. That's also, absolutely, not the only way to engage with these cards. You can use them however you want. Bring a favorite to your dragon game session. Use the cards as pretty decorations for something of your own creation. Use them solely as inspiration for stories of your own telling.

What I can say, is the cards offer a wide range of visual styles, tones, and concepts. They are inventive, intriguing, and striking (especially all spread out in front of you).

Personal Favorites

No Words, Save Death is a beautiful, wordless death save mechanic. The mechanic itself is communicated effectively through evocative imagery.

Arcane Underground imagines magic in utilities waiting to bestow power and consequences on any who harness it. It looks good, and I can immediately imagine how it will come up in a game.

Trash Companion gives you a shape-shifting animal companion. It shifts between a raccoon and a pigeon, each with upsides and downsides. I don't know who would play with these cards and not include this one. It's delightful.

You can check out all of the cards I've mentioned in this post, but remember, there are 47 more cards in the deck! I hope you check them out, support the Gamefound, and enjoy.

Oh! And one of the options is to get a card printed on a mug.

Until next time.

You know, a bonus to designing the oc is that other people will drawn them in the scenarios you share! I know your lore really made me excited to see your little fella ^^) it's so nice to encounter someone eho likes SDV in the wild and your world building makes me want to boot up my computer and deal with the lag to see everyone again. I do have to wonder though, what's your take on how the valley feels about JojaMart? It seems like it replaces extensions on the Vally's magic if you fund it.

TRUE…U ARE SO RIGHT!!! Luckily I have a small little ref sheet for him already made heehee. But ill post it on my sdv blog (when i make it). I can put it here too but ill do that under a readmore 😌

Also. U are so sweet 😭 I am so sorry ur game is too laggy to play but i am touched that my little bit of lore is enough for u to want to brave through that mess anyway LMAO

FIRST OF ALL….here is my boy….

His name is June and ive since tweaked some stuff about him. You dont need to know much about him, just that hes a bit of a cryptid among the town for almost two years before townspeople start interacting w him on their own volition. His best friends are Marnie, Kent, and Caroline, and he is really cool w Willy, Linus, and Marlon (old men gang rise up). Also romances Shane which is funny to Me bc whenever shane gets a male farmer to romance i am constantly rotating this image of vincent getting upset and saying ‘gee jas how come YOU get two cool godfathers’

To answer ur question about Jojamart; i feel like it truly wouldnt mess with the balance of magic in the valley. Magic is powerful BUT. It is adaptive. The Junimos harness the magic of the valley to fix things in the broken down community center, but if someone else came along and fixed it for them, well thats one less thing the magic of the valley is used for. Theres plenty of talented people in the valley that dont need magic to get things done 😉 (Robin my beloved)

But i do think jojamart is a big indicator that something is amiss with the town. I think it is a common idea to believe that jojamart is like. Evil. And like. Its totally a soulless corporation, but i think its filling a very specific Need of this town. Pelican town has some very skilled laborers that sell their work and services to help provide not just for themselves, but FOR pelican town; if that still leaves people unable to pay rent/mortgage or groceries, then people will absolutely swoop in and offer ‘solutions’.

I have more Thots but basically……magic is powerful, but it cant do anything on its own. Its utilized by magical beings to make tangible change in the world. But humans are capable of making real and tangible change without the use of magic. Jojamart says ‘here, give me money and time and ill fix this stuff 😉’ and that is not anymore different than Robin, Clint, the junimos, etc saying ‘give me some money and time and i can do this thing for u 😉’. Jojamart is like. Bad. But bad in the same way Pierre owning the only grocery store in town wo employing anyone is bad, and how Lewis is okay with all of this Mess. Its indicative of a bigger problem in the valley that magic cant really fix

[nicstylus]

Why IS Aztec blue??? Or is it just a design choice?

Please talk about him more I love him

I'm so glad you asked, buckle up Source of ask The short answer is that he already had grey bones. But, after he died, he spent a lot of time in the underworld with Zorro and their undead pirate crew. The elongated time in the underworld stained his bones and he turned a much darker blue/grey

The thing about Necromancy is that it almost completely consumes the object that the magic is being channeled into (a corpse, a weapon, etc) and often turns said object grey, black or dark blues or purples. Most necromancers have grey bones because the skeleton is what grounds the mage to the living world when they're using death magic. It's the most solid thing in their body. So when Necromancers harness their Makar, it flows through their bones before it flows through/into anything else; thus prolonged use or simply living a really long time + moderate use of death magic = grey bones. Aztec is a different case though. He died fairly young, and so his bones would only be a really light grey. His bones are stained because after he died, he joined Zorro and his mostly-undead crew of pirates in the underworld. Since the underworld is so soaked in death magic, simply existing in the underworld for long periods of time starts to kill living things and dampen their color. The average mage can only spend a day or so in the underworld before they either die, lose access to their magic, or both. Like anything else, prolonged exposure builds a tolerance, but it's still realllly not good for your health to be down there. Zorro practically raised Jason, and he can only spend three days down there before his fingers start to turn grey and lose feeling. But, since Aztec is already dead and has no magic to lose, he's good to go robin-hood around the underworld to his hearts content. He spent a few hundred years in the underworld before he decided to try something else, and came out with very dark bones. I drew them pretty light to how I imagine them bc I didn't want someone to see his character sheet for the first time n be like 'are his bones black bc he's black? That's Racist!' bc if someone gets upset about my Alice having brown hair when its canonically blonde idk whats going to show up in my ask box xD (But I love getting asks like this ty) Here is a scrappy example of pre-death Aztec using his cool powers, featuring Necromancy staining hosts

[ya-boi-haru]

So my last stream made me realise: I've never shared my MC lore??

Whenever I get to a new server I have a completely new skin, it's cause I like to come up with little stories/ characters/ concepts for it!

(With Haruven seasons lore, there are 2 lores. First one is the connecting lore from Season 1, the second is new characters each season with new lore)

And here they are!!!

Avatar:

Lyra is a Water Bender whose travelled to different towns/sanctuaries to improve their abilities. They struggle with bending - specificly in combat, they learned the hard way. However, this end up effecting Lyras' bending overall and they're worried they're losing the ability to bend all together.

Block Shift:

Ruthvik was a great redstone engineer but was struggling to get their new invention working, they seemed stuck, unable to figure out what was missing for months.

One day she was approached by a God/Spirit, claiming they were of Creation and wanted to help. Desperate, Ruthvik made a deal with the entity, allowing them to help with her creation and they would be free to build wherever in her world.

The god screwed them over. They were actually the God of Chaos and now  nothing can be properly built again.

Word got out about the deal Ruthvik made and they are constantly shunned by society for what they had done.

Essempi (Erets Sub-Server):

Yavai lived in The End for most of their life.

They have severe social anxiety and don't like interacting with people much, so they keep to themselves. However they did like to explore.

Wander the islands of The End, exploring abandoned ships and finding books on the world's around them.

They loved to learn about the Overworld, such a strange and interesting place. The End Ship are designed to travel back and forth between worlds by using a group of Enders teleporting powers to transport the ship. However Yavais' teleportation powers are very weak - they're lucky when they get to the top of an End City Tower. Yavai probably wouldn't be able to be near other crew members anyway, so they never bothered to apply for a Ship.

One day, Yavai found an old book, telling the story of an adventurer who played the Dragon - The Ends Tyrant - and the Universe granted them a way back home via a portal. That portal is still there.

Yavai built up the courage and ventured to The Centre Island and sure enough, the portal was still there.

Taking a literal leap of faith, they jumped through the portal and landed in the Overworld.

It was extremely overwhelming at first but when Yavai saw the beauty of the world, they decided to stay.

Free Souls (Mels Server:)

Myca has dedicated his life to the studies of - in summary - Life and the afterlife. Souls, gods and gods magic, the bridge between life and death and the tombstone keys that follow.

Haruven SMP:

Haru met Arion, a God of Creation.

The two grew close and eventually fell in love. Their love was so strong that Arion shared a small part of her power with them.

Soon, they were set to be married.

Before their happy day could be planned, Arion left and Haru waited for them to come back. And waited and waited and waited.

Worried for them Haru set off to go and find her, traversing the lands, searching through anything they can.

They found a few scrolls that allowed people to harness elememtal power learned by spirits.

Haru learned the technique of Water and learned quickly.

During their time there, they worked on an allium field, a place he and Arion could be when/if she returned.

She still didn't.

Haru was later approached by a God of Chaos, promising to tell them where Arion was in exchange for the small bit of power that she gave them.

Desperate, Haru agreed, but the plan backfired.

The small part of Creation mixed with Chaos, just caused a splatter of nonsense.

Haru is still trying to find their love, but now with spikes of Chaos around.

Thread of Species Features

-if you don't know, hi I'm working on a fantasy type game called Witch Tuition, this thread is mostly to set in world building on my notable fantasy race features. Also all of these designs i will be using one way or another for my game, so im treating them like ocs lol

-dwarves, orcs and other such wont be here if they wont differ from standard fantasy

First up is the human race - the Atlans! Created by the god of magic that holds up the world Atlas As an example is the Dealer Yvonne, her purplish tinge is due to her practically hotboxing herself with potion fumes, incense, smoking and other stuff -making her poison resistant

The adaptability works similar to vaccines so an exaggerated scenario would be like: if you just drop an Atlan not adjusted to a frozen tundra, they'll freeze to death. But if they're conditioned to the environment for a few months or so, then they can walk out in summer clothes

Next are Elves! I'm open to adding more, these are the most frequent. In Order Left-Right there's: Light/Dark/Nature I'll continue in their own tweet but generally, Light Elves hail a nobility of scrying glyphs, Dark Elves live more hedonic and have cave parties, Nature is Nature

Light Elves were always the most connected to magic due to they're fey ancestry, yet the creation of telescopes by the dwarves propelled them into nobility. it allowed them to scribe constellations onto glyphs and runes, teaching other races to properly harness magic and riches

Elf and Dwarven relations greatly deteriorated after the production of telescopes, dwarves responsible for the creation did not see a modicum of the credit for the creation by the light elves. The dark elves invade the mountain and underground spaces. and nature elves are neutral

Originally light elves, they transform through a ritualistic scorching after the discovery of eldritch beings beyond the constellations This discovery led them to be influenced by the beings, so as their own society, they decided to live more for themselves and party a lot

Dark elves within their own civilizations are pretty open to other races Despite light elves looking down on them, dark elves don't hold malice, as it would transfer to their own children. They also don't force the ritual on their kids, most do just choose to undergo it

Nature elves live more secluded societies after finding primordial magics, some of which transition to druids The first druids were the fae creatures attuning to the chaotic lands of the fae, the rituals to become one very much depend on the planet’s primordial magics

All fae creatures have a unique inner flame that connects them to the fae, which is why fae creatures live longer, especially when within said realm. The primordial magic that allows nature elves to attune to nature, instills elves to view beyond themselves, hence the androgyny

-to reiterate these are just common of their societies, but a nature elf can be rugged and not that, light elf can be down to earth n such also the ears are definite

3rd are Daemen! They are the cursed firstborn to those who either make deals with devils or slay powerful demons. The curse is meant to keep their mark on the mortal world so they still have a connection to return Here is a rival concept for the example

Here's the patterns of each domain, realistically it could be any demon powerful enough to cast a curse or devil lucky enough for a contract these examples are the most common of their domain's strongest demons. I also didn't forget her tail it's just not visible

realistically also, the demon invasions could be ended completely if after a few years nobody makes devilish contracts and adventurers who kill demon generals just don't settle down, but that's why it hasn't they gotta play cheap, you always lose something against the demons

Part of the Hybrids are the humanoid Animal Race, they take on physically any of the animal aspects they inhibit

animal human hybrid type of people would still be classified under a hybrid, tho they are exceptionally rare since, most don't want to marry animal hybrids

Elemental Hybrids (Hybrid is more of an umbrella grouping) share ancestry with primal fae spirits of the land

Water and Fire elements can control their temperatures and become amorphous at will outside of cold environments

Air and Earth elements can bend air and earth with ease

(The Water and Fire hybrids I thought would be really cool, hopefully i can use them in the future. Their names are Diana and Layla and rival dancers :> )

Finally Half Giants! Descendances of actual giants who live more nomadically. Half Giants collectively live in harsh environments, born with birth markings said to be their individual destinies

For this example is the Carpenter Orin, who'd sell you decor, display cases and such

Faerie Engineers

Folklore and fantasy have long portrayed faeries as whimsical and magical beings. They are frequently associated with nature and act in a mischievous manner. Faerie engineers are a lesser-known aspect of these charming creatures. Faerie engineers are beings of incredible ingenuity who create sophisticated structures and equipment within their mysterious world. This idea encourages us to investigate a fascinating intersection of engineering and magic, which is a place where the natural and the supernatural come together in extraordinary ways. It is commonly believed that faerie engineers had an instinctive comprehension of the natural elements that were present in their environment. They reportedly use dew, spider silk, and moonlight as building materials for their sculptures. They reportedly achieve this by harnessing the energy of the soil. The harmonious combination of resources reveals both their profound connection to the natural world and their capacity to exert influence over it in ways that appear inconceivable to humans. Whether they are intricate underground dwellings or delicate bridges spun from gossamer threads, the structures produced as a result reflect the beauty and complexity of the workmanship that went into their creation.

Additionally, the concept of fairy engineering raises some fascinating issues regarding the technology that exists within the faerie world. In contrast to human technology, which often relies on industrial processes and products made of artificial materials, faerie technology fully integrates into the natural world. They might utilize glowing orbs powered by fireflies to illuminate their path, or wind and water currents to power their transportation systems. This combination of magical and practical design suggests a world where innovation is not only functional but also aesthetically beautiful and ecologically sustainable. Popular culture frequently portrays faerie engineers as highly cooperative beings who work together in perfect harmony to accomplish their objectives. This aspect of their nature greatly emphasizes the importance of community and information exchange in their society. It is thought that faerie engineers thrive on cooperation, drawing on the different abilities and talents of their kin in order to bring their visions to reality. This stands in stark contrast to the competitive and individualistic methods occasionally observed in human engineering. The end result of this collaborative effort is the creation of works that are not only original but also robust, able to withstand the passage of time and the components of the environment. In the lore surrounding faerie engineers, there are also hints of secrecy and mystery that are present in the lore surrounding faerie engineers. Like the faeries themselves, their crafts often remain hidden from human view, existing just out of sight in the shadowy corners of woodlands or the depths of ancient glens. Both of these locations are considered to be secluded. The fact that they are difficult to track down contributes to their fascination, which in turn causes people to speculate about the possibilities that lay outside their perception. Faerie engineering tales inspire awe and inspire us to envision a world where imagination and cooperation enable the inconceivable. Literature and art have romanticized the concept of the faerie engineer, using it as a metaphor for the limitless potential of imagination. To build fantasy worlds in which science and magic coexist, authors and artists have drawn inspiration from these topics. These realms have challenged our understanding of both science and magic. These narratives extend an invitation to contemplate our relationship with technology and the environment, celebrating the inherent inventiveness and creativity in all creatures.

At the end of the day, the concept of faerie engineers serves as a metaphor for the human potential to dream and develop. It brings to our attention the fact that engineering, at its core, is an art form constituting a combination of logic, creativity, and inspiration. Imagine a world where faeries craft wonderful inventions and structures, inspiring us to envision a future where technology enhances rather than detracts from the natural environment. This provides us with the opportunity to think beyond the limitations of technology. Faerie engineering encourages us to reevaluate our own technical initiatives, seeking ways to harmonize with nature and prioritize sustainability. In a world where there are an infinite number of options, the stories of these enchanted engineers serve to remind us that true innovation is not only about finding solutions to problems; it is also about beautifying the world and establishing connections between people.

Unveiling the Magic of Amazon Web Services (AWS): A Journey into Cloud Computing Excellence

In the dynamic realm of cloud computing, Amazon Web Services (AWS) emerges as an unparalleled transformative powerhouse, leading the charge in the world of cloud services. It operates under a pay-as-you-go model, providing an extensive repertoire of cloud services that cater to a diverse audience, be it businesses or individuals. What truly sets AWS apart is its empowerment of users to create, deploy, and manage applications and data securely, all at an impressive scale.

The marvel of AWS's inner workings lies in its intricate mechanisms, driven by a commitment to virtualization, a wide array of services, and an unwavering focus on security and reliability. It's a journey into the heart of how AWS functions, a world where innovation, adaptability, and scalability reign supreme. Let's embark on this exploration to uncover the mysteries of AWS and understand how it has revolutionized the way we approach technology and innovation.

At the core of AWS's functionality lies a profound concept: virtualization. It's a concept that forms the bedrock of cloud computing, an abstraction of physical hardware that is at the very heart of AWS. What AWS excels at is the art of virtualization, the process of abstracting and transforming the underlying hardware infrastructure into a versatile pool of virtual resources. These virtual resources encompass everything from servers to storage and networking. And the beauty of it all is that these resources are readily accessible, meticulously organized, and seamlessly managed through a user-friendly interface. This design allows users to harness the boundless power of the cloud without the complexities and hassles associated with managing physical hardware.

Virtualization: AWS undertakes the pivotal task of abstracting and virtualizing the physical hardware infrastructure, a fundamental process that ultimately shapes the cloud's remarkable capabilities. This virtualization process encompasses the creation of virtual servers, storage, and networking resources, offering users a potent and flexible foundation on which they can build their digital endeavors.

Services Galore: The true magic of AWS unfolds in its extensive catalog of services, covering a spectrum that spans from fundamental computing and storage solutions to cutting-edge domains like databases, machine learning, analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). What sets AWS apart is the ease with which users can access, configure, and deploy these services to precisely meet their project's unique demands. This rich service portfolio ensures that AWS is more than just a cloud provider; it's a versatile toolkit for digital innovation.

Regions and Availability Zones: The global reach of AWS is not just a matter of widespread presence; it's a strategically orchestrated network of regions and Availability Zones. AWS operates in regions across the world, and each of these regions comprises multiple Availability Zones, which are essentially self-contained data centers. This geographical distribution is far from arbitrary; it's designed to ensure redundancy, high availability, and fault tolerance. Even in the face of localized disruptions or issues, AWS maintains its resilience.

Data Centers: At the heart of each Availability Zone lies a crucial element, the data center. AWS doesn't stop at just having multiple data centers; it meticulously maintains them with dedicated hardware infrastructure, independent power sources, robust networking configurations, and sophisticated cooling systems. The purpose is clear: to guarantee the continuity of services, irrespective of challenges, and ensure the reliability users expect.

User Control: The beauty of AWS is that it places a remarkable level of control in the hands of its users. They are granted access to AWS services through a web-based console or command-line interfaces, both of which provide the means to configure, manage, and monitor their resources with precision. This fine-grained control enables users to tailor AWS to their unique needs, whether they're running a small-scale project or a large enterprise-grade application.

Security First: AWS is unwavering in its commitment to security. The cloud giant provides a comprehensive suite of security features and practices to protect user data and applications. This includes Identity and Access Management (IAM), a central component that enables controlled access to AWS services. Encryption mechanisms ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data in transit and at rest. Furthermore, AWS holds a multitude of compliance certifications, serving as a testament to its dedication to the highest security standards.

Scalability: AWS's architecture is designed for unmatched scalability. It allows users to adjust their resources up or down based on fluctuating demand, ensuring that applications remain responsive and cost-effective. Whether you're handling a sudden surge in web traffic or managing consistent workloads, AWS's scalability ensures that you can meet your performance requirements without unnecessary expenses.

Cost Management: The pay-as-you-go model at the core of AWS is not just about convenience; it's a powerful tool for cost management. To help users maintain control over their expenses, AWS offers various features, such as billing alarms and resource usage analytics. These tools allow users to monitor and optimize their costs, ensuring that their cloud operations align with their budgets and financial objectives.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) isn't just a cloud platform; it's a revolutionary force that has reshaped how businesses operate and innovate in the digital age. Known for its power, versatility, and comprehensive catalog of services, AWS is a go-to choice for organizations with diverse IT needs. If you're eager to gain a deeper understanding of AWS and harness its full potential, look no further than ACTE Technologies.

ACTE Technologies offers comprehensive AWS training programs meticulously designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to master this dynamic cloud platform. With guidance from experts and practical application opportunities, you can become proficient in AWS and set the stage for a successful career in the ever-evolving field of cloud computing.

How Does Dental Digital Marketing Enhance Patient Engagement?

The dental industry is no exception in today's fast-paced world, where everything is just a click away. Gone are the days when a simple ad in the local newspaper would do the trick. Dental practices need to harness the power of digital marketing to attract and engage patients effectively.

Imagine walking into a dental office that prioritizes your oral health and understands how to connect with you through innovative marketing strategies. How does this all work? Let’s dive into how dental digital marketing can boost patient engagement!

Understanding the New Age of Patient Engagement

Patient engagement is more than just a buzzword; it’s a crucial component of modern healthcare. Today’s patients expect more than just excellent dental care—they want to feel connected to their providers. Dental digital marketing plays a pivotal role in creating that connection by using various online channels to reach and engage patients effectively.

With social media, email campaigns, and personalized content, dental practices can create a more engaging and interactive experience. This shift from traditional marketing methods to digital channels ensures that patients feel valued and informed every step of the way.

Building a Strong Online Presence

A robust online presence is vital for any dental practice aiming to effectively engage patients. A well-designed website is the cornerstone of dental digital marketing. It should be user-friendly, informative, and optimized for search engines.

Practices can position themselves as trusted resources by providing valuable information about services, procedures, and dental health tips.

Additionally, integrating features such as online appointment scheduling and patient reviews fosters convenience and trust. Patients who can easily find information and connect with your practice online are more likely to engage.

Leveraging Social Media for Engagement

Social media is where the magic happens. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are not just for sharing selfies and cat videos; they are powerful tools for dental digital marketing. Dental practices can utilize these platforms to share educational content, engage with patients, and showcase their personalities.

By posting interactive content like polls, quizzes, or fun dental facts, practices can spark conversations and encourage participation. Plus, sharing patient testimonials and before-and-after photos can help build a sense of community and trust. When patients feel a connection with your practice on social media, they’re more likely to engage and share their experiences.

Personalized Email Campaigns

Email marketing is another effective strategy within dental digital marketing that enhances patient engagement. By sending personalized emails, practices can inform patients about appointments, promotions, and oral health tips tailored to their needs.

Using segmentation techniques, practices can create targeted campaigns that resonate with different patient groups. For instance, reminding parents about their children's check-ups or offering special promotions for returning patients makes communication feel more personal and relevant. This personal touch fosters loyalty and keeps patients engaged with your practice.

Engaging Content: The Heart of Digital Marketing

Content is king, especially in dental digital marketing. Creating engaging, informative, and entertaining content showcases your expertise and keeps patients coming back for more. Blog posts, videos, and infographics about dental care tips, oral hygiene practices, and new technology in dentistry can captivate your audience.

Consider hosting live Q&A sessions or webinars where patients can ask questions directly. This interactive approach builds trust and enhances engagement by making patients feel heard and valued.

Measuring Success and Adapting Strategies

One of the significant advantages of dental digital marketing is the ability to track and measure success. Using analytics tools, practices can assess the performance of their marketing campaigns and make data-driven decisions to enhance engagement further.

Regularly reviewing key metrics, such as website traffic, social media interactions, and email open rates, allows practices to adapt their strategies to meet patient needs better. Continuous improvement is essential in the ever-evolving digital landscape, ensuring your practice remains relevant and engaging.

Conclusion: Embrace the Future of Dental Marketing

In conclusion, dental digital marketing is not just a trend; it’s the future of patient engagement. Dental practices can foster meaningful connections with patients by building a strong online presence, leveraging social media, creating personalized content, and measuring success.

So, if you want to elevate your dental practice and enhance patient engagement, it’s time to embrace the power of dental digital marketing.
