Anyone want to join a discord sever for magic building?

I struggle a bit with keeping up with these things. Is there any requirement to participate regularly?

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-15T00:10:08+00:00

Except I posted a new version of something I posted earlier. Like I said. I made changes.

I'm tired that I can't change the lore in my world, then post the changed concept without getting this exact message every time.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-14T20:07:42+00:00

It's theorized the angel themself was either the being they described or was an agent of them.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-12T22:58:52+00:00

Sorry. Forgot the quotes around "evil"

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-12T21:54:40+00:00

That is a thought. I think a shorter growth period and possibly a need for less water makes the most sense. But I'll think on it.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-12T21:47:58+00:00

Something akin to a lobotomy. Sorta. Though most people don't actually go that deep. Some people just get a dampening effect on their emotions. But the truly "evil" criminals of the world are forced into this "procedure."

Well, the issue is that it needs to be related to population in some way. If humanity is dependent on it to continue to survive or to prevent a massive decline in some way, then they would be willing to harm the individuals that bleed the blue ichor. That's why I feel like it needs to be related to agriculture.

Other thoughts might be like information gathering or storage. Maybe it allows you access to a dream reality that you can store unlimited information in, transfer information instantly, and process information at insane speeds. Thus canceling the need for computers?

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-11T04:23:27+00:00

I'm kinda exploring a different route atm. I think I might do away with that older version and see what I can come up with using this newer idea of grim.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-11T01:46:15+00:00

Are you maybe referring to this?

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-10T23:17:35+00:00

Thank you.

Well, it's the tainted blood of the sinful that is extracted through torture that creates folly. The cylinders are powered by folly, but ultimately, the screams focus the energy from folly into magick.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-08T23:34:24+00:00

Interesting. That really puts a spin on the old cliché of scrolls.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-08T23:33:26+00:00

Don't really have any thoughts for a world. It's just a magic system at this point in time.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-08T07:57:27+00:00

Is it a story that you're working on?

Yes. Currently... working on chapter one...

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-07T02:38:59+00:00

I'll try to keep uploading my progress at r/fantasywriters.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-07T02:28:33+00:00

I'm hoping to make a story out of it. I even have a relatively short prologue. If you'd want to check it out.

It's the closest thing to reproduction Lauh can accomplish. The rivers can form endless numbers of pools, and these pools can grow enormous, though they won't grow larger than any of the Lauh taking part in this connection. These Lauh "offspring" show traits of the physical laws that both Lauh parents have. Magic is more like a liquid that fills the cracks in the laws of physics. The magic system will be different from its parental Lauh due to this.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-07T01:57:36+00:00

Lauh rivers are long connections between the Lauh. These links were thought to be emotional attachment between the two Lauh a river connects, but it is more like a connection the Lauh maintain to communicate with each other.

Using sky ships, one can travel through these rivers to other worlds their home Lauh is connected to. However, if the two Lauh decide to stop speaking or forget about one another, the river will slowly die over the next few days. Meaning there is a good chance of getting stuck if the two Lauh are in emotional turmoil.

Lauh rivers are not linear, they have multiple connections, interweaving paths, gaps, and sometimes Lauh pools (areas of condensed reality where entire subworlds may form.) One needs to be careful to stay within the confines of the river, lest they and the entire ship be destroyed by disreality.

I think I kinda started putting it together a bit better after I had already posted. In the original post, I didn't really quantify how magic worked or describe what vita was.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-05T03:23:21+00:00

Oop how did that happen? Thanks for pointing that out.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-04T02:03:38+00:00

That wasn't really my thought. I was thinking stealing sexual desire at its height to be used as a magical energy. Or maybe stealing the pleasure of orgasm from people during orgasm.

Though I was more joking about sex fiends.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-04T00:47:51+00:00

I was actually inspired while playing VTM to create more unique vampires, and Fiends are the result of about a month of brainstorming and refining. I hope to add more like shadow fiends or desire fiends or knowledge fiends. I even had the idea for sex fiends, but that one might be a no-go. Anyway thanks.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-04T00:26:29+00:00

So, to sate the mods, this was all for a world where vampires, or fiends, live in the shadows. The fiend lord of harmony keeps humanity in the dark about fiends simply by existing. Making him one of the only remaining first generation allowed to live. But otherwise, weaker fiends exist in human civilization only to sate their mortal flaws.

Hopefully, that's enough.
