It has only been a week into 2026 and, not only did we have to deal with a broken shub near the end of December, but my partner's work vehicle has a busted alternator... during his final week of employment, when we're both trying to find jobs and don't have access to public transport.

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.

Of course our dying tub chooses NOW, when none of us have a stable job and are already struggling, to finally split in two and flood the bathroom.
