So far?

The various techniques the Gods use to make instanced dungeons canonical and diegetic.

In book II, we get to see the kind of glitch sargasso that results when instanced dungeons are stitched together poorly.

This might be a tricky question, but in your opinion, what is the ✨️most powerful✨️ use of magic in your system?

Of course, this all depends on how you define "powerful"! It may not necessarily have anything to do with how much damage is dealt...

i cannot fucking wait to get to the point in #theWondersofMundus where I can show off the art by @darkchibishadow.bsky.social that I commissioned for it, he fucking. NAILED Hikaru in ways that I didn't even know were true about him until I saw it!

There is SOMETHING to the theory on the four-part soul, that posits Aura/Spirit, Psyche/Mind, Anima/Resolve, and Breath/Stamina or energy - something fundamental to how magic works - and Hikaru, ever choosing “puzzle” of the 3 P’s, needs to know what.

#theWondersofMundus
#FebruaryWorldbuilders. Are souls real in your world? Does anything happen to them after a person dies? Or, whether or not they know the truth, do your characters have any beliefs about that? Does your world's religion preach anything about souls?

Siobhan Greenwood, former NPC, really fucking hopes so.

(Deedee and Hikaru have reason to reassure her.)

#theWondersofMundus.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders Does free will exist in your world? If you have any kind of prophecy, fortune-telling, soulmates, or destiny in your stories, how are these reconciled along with the idea of free will? Do your characters have any beliefs on the matter?

Almost every Player party on Mundus is riven by the question: “is Mundus a prison to escape, a palace to inhabit, or a puzzle to figure out?”

Alesha. Sekhmet. Hikaru. And Deedee, caught, pulled in three directions.

Is one side clearly in the right, or is it ambiguous?

How do they resolve their dispute? Or do they?

This would be “the Wand” in the trifecta of Word, Wand, Will.

The hand can be a wand. But overchanneled or haywire spells tend to blow up in your face. Oft literally. Better for a copper rod or shaft of auracite-tipped oak to go.

#theWondersofMundus
#Febchantment Day 9

Let's talk magical tools! What does someone need to do magic in your system? An arcane focus (e.g. wand, staff, orb)? A book of spells? A musical instrument? A bunch of obscure ingredients?

If you have magical companions, they would count here 😁

#writingcommunity #writesky

#Febchantment #writingcommunity #writesky

The Word, the Wand, the Will.

It is necessary to exhale, releasing the Breath, to cast magic. Magic is very much shaped Breath - shaped by the mind acting on the spirit, aura shaped intuitively. But implements and incantations help.

#theWondersofMundus
#Febchantment Day 10

How is magic actually performed? What kinds of speech or actions are needed to execute a successful spell? An ancient incantation? A hand sign? Martial arts movements?

Or is it enough simply for the caster to THINK their spell into existence?

#writingcommunity #writesky

#Febchantment #writingcommunity #writesky

As the Thornite’s say, “Blood and breath to thee.” Casting spells expends Breath, and is physically and mentally taxing the way that physical labor or fighting in armor is. Overexert yourself and there’s a risk of swooning or injury.

#theWondersofMundus
#Febchantment Day 11

What limitations did you put on your magic system to keep it from becoming too OP? Is power in short supply? Do spells take a physical toll on the body?

Note that this is about magic done RIGHT. Day 13 will be about when magic goes horribly wrong!

Talk to them? Be friendly, vivacious and charming. Overcome with Rapport.

A bad cop in the room also helps.
Here's the goal:

Your original character has to get information out of someone. What would they try to do, and would they be successful?

Vigor and Spirit primary means Deedee fights with fist and glaive, spell and song, loud flashy and unignorable; opening up with Rider Kicks, maintaining distance with Dragon Tail Lashes, singing heals and buffs.

Let's talk fighting styles!

How does your character fight? Do they wield weapons? Magic? Are they a brawler? Or do they have a more sophisticated fighting style?

Or are they a pacifist who would never fight?

For Deedee, it’s shrines and training grounds, especially those to Sylphan - whose mystery cultists meditate through dance and martial arts - where the two are one. Where she can quiet her anxious mind in her Arts.

What is your character's favorite place in their world? A place they find peace, or excitement, or joy?

Is it a type of place (forest, mall, etc) or somewhere specific?

Is it somewhere they go frequently?

Hey there, #FebruaryWorldbuilders. We're getting weird this week and talking about metaphysical aspects of our worlds. Do you have any nonphysical realms? Dream worlds, mind worlds, spiritual realms, a space of pure mathematics, etc. What are they in your setting?

From Book III of #theWondersofMundus, Deedee receives a surprising quest reward for confirming to an investigator in Ralph for The Other Worlds Tourism Bureau (and therefore DARPA) that Dreschner and company were, in fact, neonazi agents with an Earthside backer.

There is, of course, the vast Cyclopean and Ranasthani oceans between Viacruz and Xianghai (with a trip through the canal called the Mouth of Bast), but consider the humble Lachfuss River, named for the salmon that her people fish from it.

Good morning, friends and #FebruaryWorldbuilders! Do you have any notable bodies of water in your book/world? Tell me about them. What's in it? What significance does it hold for the people living near it?

From my work in progress on Book III of #theWondersofMundus, Blood and Breath for Gold and Grain: Hikaru Aozora really cuts loose with his elementalist magic for the first time.

You see, At 25th level, Adventurers and Elite opponents in tWoM get access to a Tension Breaker. This is Hikaru’s.

I set up the elemental magic to be playable, mechanistic rules compatible with @valorousgames.bsky.social Valor, as the magic system of the mmo-in-the-book. The four-part soul nods to Valor’s mental stats.

In theory, anyone with a mind, an Aura, willpower and Breath can use magic. In practice, some have the knack for shaping aura and breath and some don’t, and it’s not clear why, though Enthusement by the Gods wakes up latent talent.

Tell us about who can wield magic in your world!

Is it available to everyone, or only a special few? Is it a gift you're born with, or a skill you can learn? Is the knowledge gatekept in some way?

Pnuema: Breath. Magical energy; stamina. The substance used to cast spells.

Aura: Spiritual pressure; depth and tenor of the presence of a person, place or thing. Said to project from the heart.

There is an energy, or a substance, in the air and in all life. Because it is shaped through voice and breath, it is called various synonyms for Breath: Pneuma, Prana, Ruach, Qi. By making this their own, a breathworker does magic.

#writingcommunity #writesky
#Febchantment Day 3

What is the central concept of your magic system? E.g. Elemental magic? Music magic? Name-based magic? Something else? (Note: this isn't the "source" of magic - that's Day 8!)

If you already answered this previously, feel free to go into more detail!
