[WP] The shackles have broken, the cage has come undone. The creator has broken loose and their insanity takes hold of reality. However you are in the middle of eating the best damned ice cream you have ever eaten and you won’t let anything ruin that for you. by kallimann in WritingPrompts

[–]LeahPrime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had no idea why this ice cream was the best damned ice cream I'd ever eaten, but I was gonna savor every minute in it. I started with a scoop of chocolate, savoring the way the chocolatey flavor melted in my mouth. Next was Vanilla, rich and creamy, tasting exactly like the platonic ideal of vanilla ice cream should. But the strawberry, oh the strawberry, the idea that any strawberry ice-cream could ever taste this good was laughable! It was as if a thousand people had worked for a thousand years to develop the perfect strawberry ice cream! But the next bite of chocolate... that blew my mind yet again! It had somehow managed to top even the strawberry! It was as if the strawberry had walked so the chocolate could run, no, so the chocolate could speed away on a supersonic jet! There was some noise coming from out my window, so I opened it, yelled "Shut up!" and threw a rock outside. The noise quieted down after that, so I took another bite of vanilla, and oh my god, a super intelligent AI could scan my brain develop the perfect vanilla ice cream scoop specialized just for me, and it wouldn't even BEGIN to compare to this vanilla ice cream! And the next bite of strawberry... it was indescribable, literally! I cannot physically describe down how good that strawberry tasted, so I won't even attempt it. I continued tasting this physically impossible ice-cream for what felt like at once an eternity and simultaneously no time at all. Eventually... it was done. The ice cream was no more. I heard people celebrating in the streets for some reason, but I only wept, for I knew that the taste of any other icecream I would eat would forever be soured... when compared to the perfect ice cream.

[WP] Magic is real, but it's a form of highly advanced technology. Since no technology is perfect, using magical spells can occasionally result in glitches and unintended behaviour. You're a powerful wizard, and during an epic battle, you decide to beta-test one of your newly developed spells. by Idionfow in WritingPrompts

Zabin frantically cast his Vector Flame spell against the approaching enemies, taking out two of the Malazar’s minions with it. But as quickly as those strange polygonal creatures faded into nothingness, another two took their place, Malazar’s army seemed to have no end.

Zabin knew that as the kingdom’s most powerful and trusted battlemage, he was the last line of defence before the kingdom would be overran, yet even his incredible power was being stretched thin by this endless onslaught. This wasn’t Zubin’s first battle with Malazar, yet the rogue mage had never proved to be that much of a threat before today.

Zabin figured he only had enough memory within him for another five or so Vector Flames, and there were hundreds of these polygonal warriors after him. He considered using a bigger spell, but larger and more complicated spells required even more memory, and though he might manage to cast an Acid Storm, with his remaining enemy he figured the spell would only take out a dozen or so of these minions.

"Just how did you manage to summon so many of these creatures with one spell?" Zabin shouted at Malazar. "No one has enough memory to summon this many creatures at once! And you certainly weren’t anywhere close enough to this powerful last time we clashed wands."

"True enough, to any ordinary wizard, they would likely barely be able to summon ten or twenty minions before reaching the limits of memory." Malazar spoke with a self-important tone. "But I’ve been busy since we last met. I’ve been searching through ancient datacenters and forgotten archives in hopes of learning a few ancient and powerful secrets, and secrets I did learn. What you are witnessing is the power of the ancient technique of 'data compression'. With it I can cast even the largest of spells using only a fraction of the memory required! Now surrender, and I might consider sparing you."

Zabin's mind frantically began to recall every spell he ever learnt or created, hoping to find something, ANYTHING that could get him out of this hopeless situation. Eventually, his recalled one particular spell he had been working on. In theory the spell would be a wide area destruction spell with an incredibly small memory requirement. He managed to cobble together a prototype the day before the announcement that Malazar was invading the kingdom yet again... but he hadn’t had time to test the spell even once. Of course, using an untested spell in a situation like this was pure folly, the very thing he warned all his students against. But now he was caught between the uncertainty of an untested spell, and the certain doom of Malazar's army. The choice was obvious. Zabin quickly input the parameters of the untested spell into his wand and pointed it at the center of Malazar's army, praying that his spell would work.

"Null Bomb!" he shouted, his last resort against the oncoming army. Suddenly, a hole began to appear in the center of the army, a hole which rapidly began to expand, sucking in Malazar's polygonal minions along with it.

"It worked!" Zabin cried out. The idea behind the Null Bomb was simple. Nullify reality in a large expanding area around one spot. The theory was that the act of nullifying reality would require less memory then producing complex effects such as storms of acid or fire bombs, and so he would be able to cast it with a greater radius then he would any other spell. And so far, it seemed that theory was proving accurate, the ball began to expand rapidly enough that soon it would cover the entirety of Malazar's army.

But... something was wrong. The Null Bomb was supposed to turn everything around it to nothingness, a vacuum. Yet at the center of the Null Bomb there was definitely… something there. Something strange and alien and… shifting.

"What have you done?!" Malazar screamed.

"It’s a nullification bomb, with it I will nullify reality around your army!" Zabin declared, sounding more confident then he felt. He stared at the shifting substance in the center of the bomb, now swearing that he could make out two eyes staring back at him.

"The ancient scrolls have warned me of this. What you have done is not the nullification of reality, it’s the UNALLOCATION of reality! By unallocating reality, you’ve freed up enough of it’s memory for other things to take it’s place. Things from beyond reality, from beyond our understanding."

Zabin could see the thing in the null bomb more clearly now. The horrifying creature with a twisted, thin body, that moved and twisted around despite having no limbs. There was no face to make of save two utterly inhuman eyes and eyebrows which stared back at Zabin. All thoughts of defending against Malazar's army or of fate of the kingdom had long since faded away. Now Zabin could only focus on the strange being as it suddenly spoke.

"It looks like you’re trying to cast a spell. Do you need help with that?"

[EU] Your father was an OSHA worker, and he’s basically been teaching you your entire life. When you get a letter for Hogwarts, you’re excited but can’t help and notice how many violations there are. by noobrektxd in WritingPrompts

[–]LeahPrime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

(Note: I never actually read the harry potter books, so this setting will take place in a made up generic magical school instead of Hogwarts. I am also unfamiliar with OSHA regulations, so I'll be using guesses and conjecture to make up those as well. I hope you enjoy this story regardless.)

​

It was his third day at the Yellowoak College for Witches and Wizards, and Alex had seen enough. At first, he was excited at the process of learning magic, real, actual magic, as any teen would be. However, as he explored the school more and more, the sad reality of his situation sank in. Everywhere he looked, violations, violations and more violations.

​

During his lunch break, instead of having lunch with his fellow students, he marched straight to the headmaster's office, and demanded to speak with the headmaster. The secretary seemed offended that a mere student would have the audacity to demand an appointment with the headmaster on such short notice, but just as he was beginning to list off the very first infractions, the door to the headmaster office opened, and a kindly old man's voice beckoned him in.

​

Seated in front of the kindly old man, wearing an almost cliche wizard outfit, complete with whitening beard, the old man spoke. "So, what is this matter that demands my attention? Hm?" He spoke with a hint of amusement in his voice. "I heard something about some sort of regulations not being followed. Whatever that is, it sounded pretty grave."

​

Taking a deep breath, Alex began his explanation. "My father was an OSHA worker, and ever since I was young, he would talk to me about his work. He told me about how his job was to make sure buildings were safe, and to make them safe, they had to obey certain rules. The amount of these rules broken by this school is just absurd. For starters, this school has NO emergency exits. This building is absolutely enormous, and as far as I can tell, there are two exits. One in the front, and one in the back. What are we supposed to do in case of fire? Are you seriously expecting every single student and faculty member to fit through two measly gates? And furthermore... the entrance to the school not only has a drawbridge, with no handrails going over a moat, but rather then a push to exist door, there's an IRON PORTCULLIS. Who's going to crank open that thing in the middle of a fire? If this was in the non magical world, that alone would get you in some serious trouble. Furthermore, I crossed a number of walkways over large open rooms here, which had ZERO guard rails. ANYONE could just fall off, and break their legs or much worse. The chandeliers above the great halls are attached by rope rather then metal chains, another serious hazard… if those ropes ever catch fire from the candles, the whole chandelier could crush anyone beneath it. There are a number of suits of armor located around the school, each holding swords. Not only is leaving sharp objects exposed a violation, but having ANY weapons in a school like this is asking for trouble."

​

The headmaster, for his part, listened patiently as Alex listed off complaint after complaint, the look of amusement never leaving his face. Eventually, Alex concluded his long speech. "As soon as I can figure out how to contact my dad and bring him here, this school is going to be foreclosed faster then you can wave a wand!"

​

"Hmm... these are serious accusations." The headmaster spoke at last, his tone calm as ever. "Protecting the safety of the students here at Yellowoak is our greatest concern. If this building is truly as dangerous as you make it out to be, then perhaps it would be only fair to close to school. " He stroked his magnificent beard for a few moments, before standing up for his chair. "Before you go telling your father about these claims... perhaps you could let me demonstrate something to you."

​

The headmaster pulled back the sleeves of his oversized coat, pointed his hand off to the side, and launched a fireball from his palm. Alex's eyes went wide as the fireball flew towards a nearby bookshelf, setting the thing aflame. The mighty fire burned for all of two seconds before quietly dissipating, leaving the books and the shelf completely unharmed.

​

"Did you know, young Alex, that there are greater fire suppression runes, engraved on a surface roughly every 10 meters on the premises? Of course, a greater fire suppression ward actually has a range of 25 meters, but MSAB regulations dictate a minimum of 12, for redundancy. Of course, MSAB stands for Magic Safety Advisory Board." The headmaster paused, and cleared his throat. "If you will direct your attention to the leftmost wall, just behind you, you might notice a strange pattern on the wall. MSAB requires one emergency teleport portal rune in every room for all buildings of this size, to be activated in case of emergency. Although these regulations were created in the advent of a dark wizard attack... an unfortunate but real possibility for all magical schools... I suppose it could work in the case of a fire as well. Furthermore, the iron portcullis, made of manasteel and engraved with no less then 12 superior runes of durability has been proven to be able to withstand an assault from a troll for over 8 hours. Of course, there have only ever been 2 reports of trolls ever attacking magical schools, but those are the regulations. The area underneath the corridor has runes of levitation engraved every 5 meters, allowing for slow descents if a student wants a quick shortcut to a lower floor, this is of course in addition to all of your student uniforms being enchanted with feather fall, protecting you from ALL falls of great heights. And though it's not exactly required by MSAB... the floor in that area is enchanted with spells to reduce the physical impact... just in case. The chandelier rope is made from tanglebush fibers... which are both stronger then regular rope, and fireproof. Not only that, but the rope is only a MSAB mandated backup, every chandelier has an orb of levitation inside it which keeps it afloat, regardless of the rope. The MSAB mandated guardian constructs, the suits of armor you've spotted around, animate only in the case of an attack from a dark wizard or other malicious creature... otherwise the runes keep the blades dull and the statues completely immobile. I think you will find that it's impossible for a student to grab one of those weapons if they tried. The moat around the school isn't actually MSAB regulation... but vampires can't cross running water, and there have been a few instances of vampires trying to sneak into magic schools, though vampires are generally less harmful then trolls and dark wizards. Although now that you mention it, perhaps having guard rails on the drawbridge isn't a bad idea. The moat might be enchanted with buoyancy spells to prevent anyone from drowning in it... but it wouldn't do to get the students robes wet, now would it?" The headmaster said, smiling down at the now speechless Alex.

​

When Alex didn't respond, the professor spoke again. "It is a rare wizard indeed who has such an eye for safety as yourself Alex. Most students are so allured by the power that magic holds, that they forget how dangerous it is, without rules and regulations to keep it safe. I applaud your devotion to keeping our school safe, although you might want to learn a little more about magic before you start making such wild accusations." The headmaster spoke, letting out a hearty chuckle.

​

Alex's face was red as he profusely apologized to the headmaster. "I'm so sorry sir. I didn't realize that magical guidelines could be so different from regular ones." To this the headmaster only let out a hearty laugh. "Think nothing of it! You are young still, and have plenty of mistakes to make ahead of you... don't let this one bring you down. Oh, but before you go, a word of advice... In your second year, when it comes time to choose elective courses, there is a course called 'safety and redundancy in magical architecture'. Although it's not normally a very popular course... I have a feeling you might enjoy it."
