Magical Skill, Capability and Power

Magical Skill, Power and Capability are separate things, though I can understand why someone would be confused between them. This article will give you an in-depth look at what they are and what the difference is.

Magical Capability

Magical Capability is the amount of magic you can expel in one time, with one spell. It does not affect how much magic you can use before resting, merely how much your body can take to release with one spell. This is partly affected by the horns a creature has, but is mainly to do with your race and your heritage.

Magical Skill

Magical Skill is the ability to control all the magic you release. If you don't have the skill it doesn't matter how much Power or Capability you have, your magic will be unstable and mostly unusable.

Magical Skill is not gained through heritage or horns, it is simply built up over time. People can be born with natural skill in certain aspects, but even they have to build up skill to fully master their magic. Despite beliefs, there are no spells or potions that can increase your skill, and it can only be gained through practice.

Magical Power

Magical Power is the amount of magic you can expel before you need to rest. This shows how much magic you have in total. This is usually controlled by the number of horns you have, but can be influenced by heritage.

This sounds like the kind of worldbuilding you end up having to write a story around and that is *excellent*.

Reminds me of a writer mentioned on Writing Excuses (podcast) years ago, who wrote I think it was a hard sci fi lawyer story with the idea that it would have an audience among lawyers AND lovers of hard sci fi. Turns out the main audience had to like BOTH hard sci fi and lawyer stories to enjoy his books.

(It miiightve been space opera but I dont think so). If anyone is interested and wants to search the archives, I was listening regularly for maybe seasons 6-9, and Im pretty sure the episode was about genre distinctions, maybe within SFF.

i care so much about fictional morality and ethics but not in a lame ass "is this character/ship problematic" way. i'm cringe for other reasons.

Negative energy spells are banned by order of the Waterdeep convention. Research has concluded that fallout from negative energy spells lingers in the air and may lead to reanimation of any and all local corpses at a future time.

This is why necromancers and liches are almost universally reviled and considered 'evil'. They're either studying warcriming, or are a walking war crime.

Yes, yes, wizards and their war crimes, but why is it always the obvious stuff? I want to hear about the weird shit that's considered war crimes in your fantasy setting due to its unique history of international relations. I want to see a wizard who's guilty of whatever the wizard equivalent of accidentally blowing up an undersea telecommunications cable is.

(No, that's not a hypothetical example. That one genuinely is a war crime in real life – look it up!)

Where’s that one person who said Arthur should’ve been a genuine Christian following the teachings of Jesus to spread love and acceptance and peace vs his father who embodies the mega churches and false Christians who spread hate and division bc omg Arthur thinking Merlin’s secret is that he’s gay so when Arthur becomes king that’s like one of the first laws he works on repealing so his friend doesn’t have to hide who he is anymore but Merlin just sorta stares at him like “…That’s your first decision as king?? Alright I guess. No complaints from me.” And then continues to hide some secret from Arthur who now is a little miffed that he was wrong (he wasn’t wrong but being gay was never really a secret of Merlin’s, he thought he was pretty open about that but sweet summer child Arthur thought he was just super observant). So Arthur just weeds through the restrictive and oppressive laws and repeals each of them one by one to see if Merlin ever acts any different until he’s down to the last one - the anti-magic laws. He’s a bit more hesitant on that one and sits on it for a bit before deciding to go through with it and then BOOM Merlin is just a fucking mess and Arthur is so distracted by the joy of finally figuring it out that he forgets to be mad.

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Revision and Void State; how to revised your failed attempts with the void state!.𖥔 ݁ ˖

This thread will be based on the idea I had when @/samoaconsiencia(twt) asked for help in our LOA group on how she could revised failed attempts to enter the void state.

Well, I've always been very obsessed with the idea of ​​void, I've been to a toxic level, but nowadays I even like to research more about it to understand both the state and learn more about our mind, but anyway, I've always been thinking, how could I revised my previous attempts failed with the void state, because it is reported as pitch black, I would not feel or hear anything, how would I visualize this? And then when Skye shared this doubt in the group, it seems that my mind went PLIM ✨️ and this idea came up!

Step 1:

You will choose simple things that you want to manifest, such as a tablet, eye color, appearance, etc.

(You can also choose an event, or something that has already happened and say it was a success story of the void!

Ex: your sp liked your story

You can say that this happened because it was a "test" success story of the void!!)

Step 2:

You will define a number of attempts that you have tried to enter the void, for example, let's suppose that you want to review that you have tried enter the void only 4 times (it doesn't matter if it was more or less than that, that choice is yours, it's a revision).

Step 3: Now you will revised that in all these attempts that you decided, you were successful, and in each attempt, as a "test" mode you took on One of those desires that I asked you to choose in step 1, and then that's it!

"But angel, how do I revised?"

It's simple my love, you will define your goal, what you want to review, in this case it is the failed attempts to the void, which will now be successful attempts, in this you accept that you have achieved it, and live your life!

But of course, I know there are people who have a hard time just accepting it like that, so here are some fun ways you can use to revision!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Writing;

You can write in a diary, notebook, list, both digital and physical, how your attempts at void went, what you assumed in them, if you want you can even put dates to make it seem more "realistic", and then whenever you need validation, read it!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Visualization;

In this one you will use your imagination, if you are the kind of person who loves to fanficte, prepare the playlist (or not), close your eyes, relax and visualize yourself waking up from all your attempts at success in the void, with everything you manifested in the form of a "test"!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Affirmation; If you are a more "minimalist" person, then this is for you, create small affirmations, which imply with the attempts to the void, for example "I entered the void as a test and when I woke up from the state there was my brand new iPhone 15 , it really works"!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ the original thread!

Magical Oil Recipes - Baneful Edition

For anyone looking to brew up a potion with a less-than-friendly bent, here are some recipes I've created that you might find useful.

To prepare them, blend the ingredients in such proportions as feels correct for your purposes (or as supplies allow). Use dried material except where indicated. Place a few spoonfuls in a mason jar with a screwtop lid and fill the jar with a bland oil of your choice. (Vegetable oil of the sort you would buy for cooking works fine.) Screw the lid on tightly and shake well to combine, then leave the jar in a dark dry place for 2-4 weeks to steep.

Once steeped, prepare a clean storage bottle (also with a secure lid) and label with the type of oil and the bottling date. Strain the oil through paper towels or cheesecloth to remove the plant material, then bottle immediately. Store away from sunlight and heat for up to one year. Use for spellwork as you see fit.

(Please note that NONE of these potions are meant to be taken internally by any means. Observe all proper safety measures related to glass, fire, and potentially harmful plants as necessary during preparation.)

Magical Relations to Horns

As has been stated, all post-god creatures with horns have some kind of magic. The number, size, health and type of horns often show some kind of relation to the magic of the user. This guide has all the information you will need.

Number of Horns

The number of horns shows the amount of magical capability, or power, a person has. The more horns, the more power. However, bear in mind that this does not equate to skill.

1 horn: Will be able to do simply spells or one designated spell. E.g. only shapeshifting or only levitation magic.

2 horns: Able to do more complicated magic, but still simple. Can do multiple designated spells.

3 horns: No animals have been sighted with this level of magic. Able to do much harder spells, but less of them.

4 horns: Incredibly powerful, often hard to wield successfully.

5-6 horns: Usually too powerful for mortal bodies to handle. Few have been able to survive horn growth. The only current living example is the current Fae leader.

7 horns: Planet destroying.

7+ horns: God level.

This is only a rough guide. Sometimes creatures with less horns are more powerful and vice versa.

Size of Horns

The size of the horns can show you one of two things.

It can affects the magical capability of a creature; the bigger the horns the more capability one can have.

It can show you the maturity of a lifeform. A younger member of a species will have smaller horns because they have not had time to grow. This can still affect the capability of the lifeform, but it is not certain.

Shape of Horns

The shape of the horns can often show you the beings magic types, or what they naturally can do better than others.

Straight: Shows speciality in defensive spells, or in status spells e.g. poison, fear.

Slight curve: Shows speciality in elemental or telekinetic type spells.

Curved round the ears (like a ram/mountain sheep): Shows speciality in healing spells.

Curved round itself in a spiral: Shows speciality in creation spells.

Damaged Horns

Damaged horns can cause lots of problems for magic users. It can make the magic unstable and hard to control, but also in a lot of cases it can increase the magical capability of a user. Full breaks are the deadliest, and can often make magic users lose complete control of the spells, changing the strength or outcome of them. Small cracks do not cause much difference other than perhaps a slight power increase, and maybe your teleportation doesn't end up quite where you want it to. Larger cracks cause more instability, but not much more power.

In some cultures, damaged horns can be a shameful thing, and having a damaged horn from anything other than battle implies failure or excommunication from your home.
