Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. Do they have to have a staff to channel? Can they use other things (a la standard fantasy with, like, holy symbols or books or magic orbs)?

That makes sense! Secret signals and stuff, I assume. Very cool.

So does that mean that the Society seeks out and initiates thosd people? Is it like "when you're 25 you may or may not get hit with magic" or more like "2 children born this year will have magic. We must find them"? Either way sounds like a TASK.

Yes! I love your stuff. Thank you for doing what you do! ❤️

From my current NaNo draft! There were actually *options* on this one. I'm kind of impressed tbh. Usually I have to DIG for the word. 😅

This one is from a NaNoWriMo zero draft that I plan to rewrite (again, for the fourth time) next year.

Honestly typesetting my draft for editing was the best thing I've ever done. Love this!

Disclaimer: I had to dig to find a use of the word weird in my various manuscripts. And this one is in a scene that is likely getting cut or at the very least completely rewritten. 😅

I went through a phase of collecting memes as story prompts. I have also been looking for a story to write. I'm going to give this one a shot. Thanks for sharing!
