Fantasy/Magic Writers: Post a Magic Spell from your story

FontaineArgalion 2022-04-13 01:50:50 UTC #1

For those who write fantasy novels with magic systems actively used or casted, post one of your favorite spells used by your characters here and elaborate on what their used for~!

I'll start~.

Cosmic Sign: Luna Flash
-A powerful surge of light that aims to blind and deafen targets within a 10m radius.
-The radius/range of the spell can be manipulated depending on how skilled the caster is.
-It is similar to a flashbang in real life, only it's much, MUCH more potent in stunning enemies which could send them into days-long unconsciousness.
-Surprisingly, the spell is non-lethal and will not have any long term damage to those hit by it.

What're your spells that you love writing about or love to see your characters use?

One of my main characters in my novel uses a DnD spell called Dimension Door! It's a real spell that can be used in gameplay too which is even better lol

Description: You teleport yourself from your current location to any other spot within range. You arrive at exactly the spot desired. It can be a place you can see, one you can visualize, or one you can describe by stating distance and direction, such as "200 feet straight downward" or "upward to the northwest at a 45- degree angle, 300 feet."

Definitely one of my favorites

I guess the closest that my comic gets to a "spell" is a technique that someone hones with their soul's innate magic type.

Lulu, as showcased here, has channeled her Flame Pact into the ability to detonate explosive charges by her touch.

Magic in my comic is a very overarching concept, and it serves as a fundamental law of nature.

dimension door is a classic; i've had enemy NPCs use it many times to escape a scuffle with my players.

it really is, plus I've given myself creative liberty whenever the character uses it. Apparently it immediately teleports you somewhere, but I've made it so a literal "themed" door appears out of thin air, Always a nice touch when writing! Also I didn't realize we could show our things here so here is mine

One that comes up a lot with my magic users is the "barrier". It's basically a shimmering wall of force that can stop anything from arrows to cannon balls (and offensive magic), with the size, shape, and endurance depending on the skill and strength of the caster

In Heaven Hunters, almost all spells are cast through sigils, which are highly individual. Since spells are complicated and subtly specific, sigils act as an illustration of a state of will, like a mental and emotional checklist for the caster. Because everybody thinks differently, and experience is specific to each individual, each caster has to create their own library of sigils as they learn spells. A warp sigil for one caster will look completely different than another's. That said, here are a couple fun ones.

Here's a gun curse from issue 1

Spells and magic take many forms in my Comic, but of all the spell caster types in MagicalMashup! the types that use incantations most tend to be witches and wizards. So far the only spoken spell in the series that consisted of more than one word is this one to realize the barrier over the home of my protagonist and her family's hidden home in the Faiewood.

Protected by Faiewood we give thanks for her guarded embrace, but on this special day, we ask that you show us the sky so that we may fly high!

It's a super cheesy spell that the family has to encant together in order to release the barrier around their home, but the more love put into a protection spell, the stronger they hold.

I have a lot of magics since my world is magic-driven, but here are some of the magics that I am currently focusing on. Since the question is "What'RE your spellS..." I figured why not post these three

Augur
A character of mine is an augur who can see the future. But the accuracy of the prediction depends on the subject's mental capacity, if the person has their mind shielded (you know, mentally strong) or is vulnerable, the prediction might not be on spot.
Subspace
All pureblood kingdoms' monarch's children have a subspace. It's only the size of an Hermes bag, so the volume isn't that big. But one of my characters who the God of Creator is fond of, is granted a subspace that might grow into a size of a small bungalow house.
Teleportation
This specific magic isn't given to any kind of people in the whole history of the world, but that same god wants to give this kind of magic to that same character she is fond of. Although teleportation scroll is in this world, the magic to teleport without a use of any tools is non-existent in this world and that character will be able to teleport whenever she wants because the god gave her that ability.

LAVATE LAS MANOS!

Is a spell I would totally put in my book hadn't been for American Dad. WHY AMERICAN DAD OUT OF ALL SHOWS!?! I can't put it in there anymore because I'll be damned if I'm stealing a joke from Seth "I peaked at the mouse from Sing" MacFarlane. (might need to click the last one to expand).

I guess the closest my comic gets to a "spell" is the "[Mama Said Knock You Out]" stand power joke.
