Yes, somewhere in my pages of worldbuilding, I've a list of main/major spellster characters and what they "smell" like.

New month, new section about the #magic in the #spellsteruniverse. This time, switching the focus to those immune to magic...

Forbidden magic might just be a bit of a subjective concept on the continent.

I think the spellster schools of magic are perhaps the most intricate build I have attempted where the people didn't get their powers from deities.

Technically, you get a spellster into any state of heightened emotion and they're gonna struggle with their magic, but some things pose problems less common in other instances.

This year for Worldbuilding Wednesday, I'll be posting about the most controversial thing used within the Spellster Universe: #Magic.
But first, a little about spellsters themselves...

#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #mages #queerbooks #queerfantasy
Whilst the origin of spellster abilities is a hotly contested topic, it is widely known to be passed on through bloodlines and many countries have a phrase that amounts to the same thing: spellsters breed spellsters. Whilst not all those with magic dedicate their lives to mastering their full potential, spellsters of any great degree of power are generally born with the instinctual ability to conjure magic. Newborn abilities are limited to what seems to be a typical reaction to a hostile environment, such as a barrier briefly cast in the presence of pain. Often this magic isn’t strong enough to be destructive until early childhood, with the average age of wilful control being five-to-six years of age. Although, there have been many reports of babies causing a house fire or the death of a non-magical parent.

I deliberated over adding this one for some time, but the Independent Isles have a lot of crabs.

I may not be one for seafood that comes out of a shell, but I put a lot of foods I wouldn't personally enjoy in my books, so what's one more?

I have a mighty need to attempt this, but I suck at desserts. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to give it a try.

It's a new month and the final for foods from my universe's people. This one was a little trickier, being that the Independent Isles are literally a cluster of islands, but I've only a few Wednesdays to work with.

Tried not to do another stew-like dish, but a lot of simple cuisine boils down to... well... stew.

Food cooked via magic would for sure have its own flavour profile, maybe even several.

The texture alone would make this a definite 'no' for me, but I'm also not a fan of bitter foods.

It's a new month, time for more foods from my universe's people. Actually going back to the desert empire of Stamekia to focus on the non-nomadic folk.

And you can bet everywhere you'd go in Cezhory, the locals would insist their version of Pork and Dumplings is the original.

Given that the land of Obuzan started as a section of Udynea, I couldn't resist making a dish that both countries would have.

Spent so many hours down the rabbit hole of worldbuilding, all to decide what kind of bird the Obuzan jungle fowl actually is.
