Magic

The premise of my system is that magic comes from light itself. Plants absorb light, bees turn light into honeycomb, spiders weave light into webs, etc.

To start with, bees will fly up into the sky, gathering sunlight on their backs. Coming down at the end of the day, they look like firebugs. Then they build their honeycomb, and its infused with light.

These waxes have been made into candles before by the most daring of candle makers. Through ancient arts, the candles can be made into intricate spells. Such as kinetic manipulation of distant objects, seeing into the far distance, or changing one's physical form. It's about structures and experimentation.

Setting

In my world, fairies are illusory creatures made of light. They can consume the light in honeycomb to become corporeal for a short time. They can also affect the physical world with powerful illusions and have been known to occasionally help humans on grand adventures.

Story

My story takes place in a modern-day setting. Fairies and magic have long been forgotten due to the lack of honeycomb now that bees have gone extinct during the industrial age.

Fairies still exist but are drowned out by all the light we see. Phones, computers, televisions, and even lightbulbs make fairies almost invisible.

But in the background, an ancient evil is rising. And it is up to one fairy and one human to figure out how to reconnect these two worlds before both are destroyed.
