#QueerPrompts Pretty much all of the relationships that aren't romantic in the TFTNG series are found family, it's one of the pillars of the story.
In Such Sweet Sorrow, it's Elena.
In Yule Parlay, Tia and Violet are Phoebe's found family.

This line is from Aloe -
“I… What? What do you mean?” Avery’s shivering became more intense, and I could feel the cold fire that ran through him.

#Febchantment Probably the most powerful use of magic is when people can bend their element to mimic another.

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...

#QueerPrompts In TFTNG, romance is an element but not a main element of the story.

#Febchantment I already kinda answered this the day that we went through what the magic was based on, but I can go more in-depth. There is power-based magic, like offensive spells and things like that, object based magic that uses the object's energy instead of the spellcasters', and herb based. 1/2
#Febchantment Day 15
This week we're discussing magic's role in the culture. So let's start with different approaches to magic.
Are there multiple different types of magic, or different philosophies? Are there multiple schools or disciplines? How do they differ?

#QueerPrompts In TFTNG — Acanthus and Cypress, Abyss and Ebony, Lykaia and Mallory, Milo and Moira... there are a lot.
In Such Sweet Sorrow — nope!
In Yule Parlay — Aurelia and Phoebe aren't teeeeeechnically banned, because pirates do whatever the hell they want, but there's a lot of fear in them.

No? for once. in this world queer relationships are not forbidden. But there are people with some very inconvenient feelings (Kit, Ethan).

#Febchantment This excerpt is a bit more passive, but the idea of the magic being used is pretty terrifying. The band they're referring to is a shift lock, which nulls a werewolf's ability to call forward their wolf. Without being able to shift, they'd slowly grow weaker and more aggravated.

#PretendPanel I love exploring the depth of people's interiority; what makes them tick, what drives them or deflates them, what gives them purpose or makes them falter. It's so fun exploring who a person is.
Don't worry #pretendpanel, I won't be asking awkward questions about romance just cos tomorrow is Valentines 😉 Instead...

#Febchantment You can over-use your powers. For vampires, this looks like becoming weak and starved and can trigger frenzies — a terrifying state where they lose their logical self and attack anything living within reach.

#Febchantment I don't think anyone looks at it as a mastery or anything like that, but to master your powers, you need to be really self-aware and be able to control both your draw and your intention.

What does it take to be considered a "master" of your magic system?
Is it about the range of your techniques? The difficulty level? The amount of knowledge in your head? Your ability not to set yourself on fire?
Or perhaps there IS no "mastery"?
