Here is a funnyish short about how one of my characters magic works, if you have the time.
The proccess of Fate
The green mist of the past, present and future swirls around an old blind maiden, the green foggy magic seeps out of her eyes, hands, mouth and ears.
In the distance an old man grumbles (wealthy)
Old Man: How did you manage to hide this raw energy from my grasp for so long?
old man laughs with a crazed fire in his eyes
Old man: No matter, it will NOW BE MINE!!!!!!!!
the old man cackles with glee as the green mist circles up and around him, from the old blind maiden. The green mist forms ancient runes throughthe fog.
Soon after all the energy has been seeped out of her body, the old mans smile dissapates as he realizes that the magic is in fact, not going to him, but instead escaping out an open window of his magestic home. (old woman is dead)
The old man screams in rage as the magic flows out of the house.
