To become a Hagiographer and Hagio must complete 2-6 years of additional study (depending on their sect), have served as a Hagio for at least 20 years, and proven that they have the necessary leader and organizational skills
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"?

Souls absolutely exist. It's know (thanks to the study of Hagi that follow the saint of death) that a kith's soul travels through three realms after death. First, they travel through the Maelstrom, then through The Sea of Stars, and finally they enter The Boneyard 1/2

How long do you typically make your chapters? Mine can be pretty long. Shortest ones come in at around 3k, though they're usually 4-5k words. Yesterday I finished a chapter that was 9k words long.

That’s a topic of heavy debate. It’s widely accepted that The Fates exist and everyone has a predetermined path. However, many believe that their path and final destination can be changed, your future determined by The Fates is only a potential future but not the absolute one

If a Hagi runs out of spell circles they can’t cast spells until they get more. Tethers can cast spells endlessly, but each time they do they take on a bit of corruption: a lost memory, physical changes, mental changes, and so on. They’re small effects but they add up over time.
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!

A Hagi has to trace a spell circle and if they want to imbue the spell with more power they can speak a graphia (a bit of holy text) to draw their saint's attention.
Tethers and oerents only need to draw on their memories or emotions to cast a spell.
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?

Psychic abilities aren't really a thing. In terms of prophecies, there are Hagi for the saint of fortune telling and fate that will glance into the future to predict things. However, this is only a potential future. 1/2

Missed this one yesterday because I was doing a no tech day.
All magic on Val'hoon comes from the Maelstrom, a massive, unending storm a the center of the world that bleeds threads of magic into every living thing. The Maelstrom is *technically* a living thing, though most people 1/2
This week we're digging more into the nuts & bolts of your magic system! So let's start with the source.
Where exactly does magic "come from" in your world? Where/when does it originate? Does anyone know for sure, or are there only theories?

But check it out! It's a high/urban fantasy abt a nonbinary disabled soldier trying to save a city from fungal demons & having A TIME. And they're very sassy.

I have….far too many WIP ideas so why not yap about all of them.
Patrons of the Underground: a short story collection about the intelligent undead denizens of Mater Venti.
Saint Above, Hells Below: A Hagi falls in love with their saints and then one of them gets kidnapped by demons

Monday’s suck. So, I thought I’d try a Monday prompt game. What WIPs or ideas do you not talk about as much? Or random ideas you’ve had that have added to you WIP pile lately? What are you excited to work on?
No rules. Just blab! 😁

All spells cast by Hagi require a spell circle. How this spell circle is drawn, however, has some flexibility. Most Hagi use scrolls, but some weave them into cloth, braid plants, have tattoos, etc.
Tethers don't need anything to cast spells, but they can enhance them with warpglass.
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 😁
