The supernaturals mostly police their own. That is, the witch covens take out rogue witches. The merfolk have the guard, with ultimate say coming from the Mer-King. With the vampires, it’s the leader of the clan, though sometimes she sends other elders to do it for her.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders, good morning! In your fictional worlds, who is responsible for maintaining laws in your world? Is there a police force? Is it more community-driven?

So, this is a toss-up between two options.
1) the creation of a new form of Gifted.
2) the forging of a new portal.

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...

This changes, depending on if you’re on Earth, Fae, human, supernatural or mystic.

To start - humans on Earth are as they are. Governments, pretty much. The witches and supernaturals bend these laws at times but live within certain limits to avoid too much attention.
Hey, #FebruaryWorldbuilders! This week is about laws and the legal/court system in your fictional worlds. Today's Q: Who makes the laws? Does your world have a king? A council? An all-powerful God rules directly or through somebody else? Is it total anarchy? Just a village elder?

The beasts are big characters in their own right, and have their own motivations and ideas, but you could consider them companions to those they’re linked with

In timeline order (as in when each of them were “made”), there is: Bear, the wolverine, the lynx, the panther/Nyx, Fox, and Wolf.
Are there any important animal companions in your book/wip? what are they and what do they mean to your characters? #WritingPrompt

Midway through Silver in the Ashes, and Archer, in the privacy of his own head, wrestling with the limits of his morality and exactly how far he's willing to go to save - or avenge - the man he loves.

In one of his first heart-to-hearts with George, Alvath talks of his magic, and the Changers who keep trying to steal it.

The Four of Cups:

Intuitively, I want to say this is Will, though I think that comes more from my interpretation with my usual deck (which is as much to do with self-absorption), rather than the more classical interpretation.

#WIPSnips - no “sweetheart”, so it’s sweet, new love vibes today as Cassie notices the closeness developing between the two teen (?) mystic they freed from the Commander’s camp.

Ref “teen”: Cassie labels them teens because in human terms they look around 16-ish. In fae years? Not a scooby.

Scary magic! Bit of a longer snip for this one.
Arguably the scariest piece of magic is Alvath’s curse, the Cù Sìth. Enough so that the name precedes him. What he is after is energy, because he is unable to make enough of his own or draw from the general supply.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders

Time moved differently in Earth vs Fae, with time generally moving faster on Earth. However the exact difference between the two varies. Before the portals closed, some Fae got quite good at estimating the year on Earth, but rarely more accurate than that.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders, let's talk about time shenanigans. Are there places or situations in your fictional world where time works differently? Do you have time loops, time dilation (sped up or slowed down), or time travel? Does your world branch into different timelines?

Can you still call it an “accident” if it was intentional?

Back into Fire in the Sky for this one, so 'ware spoilers both in the snip and at the link, and Archer is fully in problem-solving mode when it comes to this new issue. Not that Sabbat's entirely upset by that, mind.
