Magic is a huuuge part of my story. It is one of the main factors of it too if that makes sense. All the characters use some type of magic. Magic affects the climate, plants, creature, people, food, emotions, everything! How does magic play a part in your story?
magic is the driving force in my novels. my first novel starts with a fairy who doesn't have her magic, and remains powerless for the greater part of half the novel. in the second and third novels, fairies have been stripped of magic and it's been given to some humans instead. the whole series revolves around characters have varying amounts of magic and not being able to use it to their full potential (nova doesn't have it at first, luna is the last fairy to have it, and sol needs to keep hers hidden).
Magic is what causes everything in my novels. People are outcast from society, deaths, romance, and prisoners all are rooted because of magic.
In my novels magic is a way of life… the characters have it if they believe in it (but sometimes as they get older they stop)
Help? Where is the magic option?
I found it but I'm not willing to pay for it?
Ya that sucks
For me, magic is very important to the story, but is slightly complicated. Basically, when a person reaches a certain age (16, in my story), they receive their power (called their Light, as the energy from their sun kind of… causes? idk). Anyway, every single person on this planet, called Zasci (which is NOT a permanent name, I know it sounds dumb it's just temporary until I can think of a better one (oh yeah, tell me if you can think of any cool futuristic planet names)), has a different Light. When someone dies, the person turning 16 at that moment receives that power, and so that is how the cycle goes. Some people take a bit longer to receive their Light, but it generally take about a week after they turn 16 for it to be fully functional, at the least. It almost never appears on their actual 16th birthday. (For example, if someone's 16th birthday is January 12th, their Light will most likely be fully functional between January 14th to January 20th). The more powerful the person's Light is/will be, the longer it takes to form. That's another important part of the story. Nobody in almost three thousand years has had a Light that takes longer than 10 days to form, but the main character hasn't gotten their's for almost 14 days. Because of this, the government is going after her because they know her Light must be something incredibly powerful, and they don't want anyone to be too powerful. Nova (the main character) is on the run from the government now because she doesn't want to be some lab rat, or anything else they might do to her. Along the way, she meets two other characters (and one of them may or may not be a traitor). Anyway that's my story so far, does it sound good?
Wow! That sounds really interesting! I'd totally read that
@sapphirepetal_28 That sounds AWESOME!
My magic system is a rune system. Humans are naturally born with a unique rune on their palm and are so named "natural runes." Man-made runes are called "artificials." They can do almost anything you can think of but my protag has never seen one properly in action because at age four the government suppresses all citizens natural runes. This creates tension because all power/energy for an artificial rune comes from a natural rune. You can't create a working rune without energy. Rune gangs "jailbreak" themselves, freeing their natural rune, then run around creating dangerous artificial rune weapons and selling them on the black market.
In another twist, the government needs rune energy to power their own artificial runes, so what do they do? All criminals that they send to "work camps" are actually being forced to energize runes for the government. And if a person is sucked of all their energy, they die, so it's basically harvesting humans.
My magic uses stones. And the same type of stone could have varying powers depending on the region it's from. Also, the function changes when used in combination. Stones are mainly used in weaponry, but can be used for other things like communication, meditation, and emotional healing.
The magic in Gems of the Stars is used by Gems. Rubies use fire magic, Topazes use sky magic, Zircons use thunder magic, Emeralds use earth magic, Sapphires use water magic, Amethysts use ice magic, Obsidians use dark magic, and Diamonds use light magic. Only the cat-human race (haven't come up with a good name for them yet) can use Gems to get magic. Dragons are attracted to the power of Gems.
There isn't much magic in Fallen's universe except for the fact that angels exist. the main character is an angel that fell from the sky. It is key, because the story wouldn't have happened
Magic is a major part of my story. Magic is as fundamental to the universe as physical things, and is more complicated. Even besides all that stuff, magic is very important to the way the story is told and the way characters interact with one another.
Magic is a fundamental part of my story. Each person has a little bit of magic in them, but there are a limited few who can use them. Different people also have different forms of magic, kind of like powers. Each person has about two different forms they can use.
My universe was created by and, and runs on, the Web. The Web is a life force– it is what creates magic and decides who to give it to, makes the limitations, but it cannot be controlled (as far as anyone knows). Technically, that's what magic is: pulling on little pieces of the Web in order to change something. Magic items can be used by everyone, but only some people are born with magic. It is not genetic, but not completely random– if you live near a forest, your child is more likely to have nature magic, near a city, city magic, etc. There are nature sprites who live in nature, near or in rivers, in forests, in fields, etc. Magic is highly prized, but there are different levels of power. Some items can conduct magic, and others will break apart if tried. Magic items are items which are enchanted by someone with magic. People haven't taken over the world yet because there is no one powerful enough to do that, and there are anti-magic items that can be used to combat magic.
Magic is constantly growing, changing, evolving. How I write it is anyone can use it, but some people, most people, cannot use magic without severe injury to the body. Also, normally, you can only do a few small incantations, and heal, or manipulate an element. Anything on a grand scale is limited to powerful Arc Mages. Magic is a work in progress.
The magic in my story is basically given to certain humans (usually one human in every generation) by the mythical creatures that have ruled the land. Overall magic just basically evolves my main characters point of view of something being good to something being horrible. - All of the other humans are taking over land and killing all of the magical plants and animals and beings, which everyone is basically on board with except they don't know what they are killing, then the main character comes along and learns about it and basically uses that for a revolution. (The revolution isn't about the killing of all of these things but it does become a huge factor.)
Magic is the primary weapon of my main character. He can fight without it when he's unable or unwilling to use it, but he's their resident powerful sorcerer. It's sort like an RPG world where you're more likely to find someone who at least has a grasp on magical theory than not. The world is also rampant with magical creatures and areas that are hotspots for primal magics and artifacts.
Magic is not what my story revolve around, but is very important. Most of time it isn't exactly spells and things like that but is more subtle, like trees that can warn people of danger, the water's song, or the minstrel's song that make you feel so peaceful. Magic in my world is essentially the remnants of the Arts of the Seven which created the world. Everyone is born with it, but only the Ketyrei, or the Elves, a subgroup of the Immortals that really can do much with it, like magic as it is classically shown.
