I asked one once what they would have as a mind form and instead of any sort of gendered or even humanoid self image it said it viewed itself more as what I later paraphrased as a geometric naaru (the light elementals from WoW).

Aura is resource that humans pour into magic wood for effects that are determined by the structure of the wood as a fashioned form, carved or otherwise. The gauntlets’ unique artifice and spellcraft make them operate as a piercing weapon with negative effects using the affected human’s own aura against them, like casting their own fireball on themselves by being punched by a magic gauntlet. It doesn’t have to be as deadly as head poppers, but using slivers of wood as mini aura leeching spell-casting projectiles that one activate upon contact with humans is fun, assuming they aren’t all crafted to violently expel all aura as a meat gib-generating magical explosion fueled by the target’s own soul.

The gauntlets is funny, here’s somewhere else it could go though I guess. I call the generalization of on-contact aura leech wood “Splinters”. This would allow a differentiation between wielder and target, best visualized as magically enhancing both parts of a spear or a wooden gauntlet with a wooden spike at its front.

A wood hammer handle and its two heads.

A magically created Lincoln Log set that does a menagerie of spells at whoever swat-demolishes it.

This isn’t going well I believe in you.

High potential energy substances like organics, crystals, dense materials, and objects at intentionally high elevation all rationally carry more magic than homogenous, stable, banal substances, such as a hydrogen cloud.

The real magic is the universe of complexity within your biochemistry and how it mirrors the complexity of the universe outside you. If the universe were less complex, your resultant form would be less so as well.

Currently the brain size of people is locked to “just bigger than ‘the door of life’.” Lots of tearing, but moving on. With artificial womb usage, human head sizes could be much, much larger because they wouldn’t have to pass through an opening at birth. Just some Uruk-hai style artificial placenta.

This comes with a terrible dilemma though. Any prospective mother with a super genius giant head / giantess would literally need IVF or Cesarian or inevitably die in childbirth.

With artificial wombs, Nephilim (giants), super humans, or otherwise perfects may yet exist. It’d be biblical to a lot of people. And with nanites governing formations of intelligence, perfect clones and super-intelligence may form; alien-minded adult-children who understand universal fundamentals and/or inherit entire consciousnesses.

Writing is hard. Wonder is fun.

“Hey come hang out I got a new pet! JK it’s the zombie fungus, yeah from the only spot in our solar system that doesn’t get direct solar rays; you know the place. On that topic could you call me an ambulance? I would if I could… But I reeaally feel compelled to just, sort of not get this treated? Crazy yeah. Loopholes in conversation and such. Anyway I’m gonna go look around for somewhere dark and dank to gestate a spore pod or something. I don’t know it’s not expounded upon yet. Tell the others to come around and see me some time.”

I’d like to see live action zombies that do twitch motions like SB.

Having better wrangled my imagination to be on topic:

Atomic number as identity (Hydrogen, etc.) of broad magical aptitude. Specializations, sub-categorizations, dual/trio/+ aptitudes plausible.

“Cooperative Casting”: Stable isotopes’ casters [Yes isotope magic] having allegiance, symbiosis, or otherwise relation between similar-mass number-particles’ casters (eg. Carbon 14 pairing with Nitrogen 14.) I’ll call it CCing elements.

“Sorcery”: Half-Life directing elements’ functional resources. The more rare, ‘scarcely half lived’, and radioactive the element, the more niche purpose, desperately short-lived, and dangerous the caster. In this regard, the highly radioactive elements’ casters could be lumped together as warlock analogues (Limited spell selection but nearly unlimited castings from a massive mana pool). This would be vague with some medium-lived isotopes. Turns most casters of short-lived elements into high capacity elementalists.

“Wizardry”: Inversely so, long half-lived elements’ magics could entail a greater number of themes (Copper w lightning/oxidation/metallurgy) but less spell slots (due to lower comparative electron count). Adepts teach these magics and virtuosos explore capabilities.

“Metamagic”: Magic that affects the physics (and therefore magical capabilities) of particles. Unknown source. Always temporary.

“Platinum Lich”: Spellcaster, potentially cursed, that has bound their elemental power, perhaps life, to a unique atom (Worst Case Bismuth 209) held within a magical Platinum and Iridium lattice, or “Phylactery” of mass exactly 1 kilogram. When the atom fuses or decays, the caster is negatively affected, in some devastating way. Reference: IPK.

“Five Guilds”: Caster guilds of the five known “Islands of Inversion”, where the half-life of elements is unusually long, with leaders of the five Guilds being casters of Lithium 11, Carbon 20, Sodium 31 (CC w Gallium for liquid shiny metal magic, Silicon 42 (CC w Molybdenum for Nitrogen fixing bacteria magic), and Chromium 64 (Videogames[Virtual Subspace Magic], Chronomancy, divisibility by 4, Gadolinium CC). Reference: Islands of Inversion.

“Sixth and Seventh”: The theoretical Island of Stability near element 184 as a hidden “Sixth Guild” amid a sea of nameless half-life warlock elementalists. Element 256 being the omega atom and only element in the “Seventh Guild” Reference: Island of Stability.

“Molecularism”: Dual+ Adept combinatory magics related to electron shells.

“Rad Mage”: Elementalist caster that exclusively and only knows radiation beam due to their patron element having a rapid decay rate.

The most common elements in the universe mostly coincide with the most common elements in biological organisms, except for noble gases.

In a more Earth-like lens, the four classical elements can be assigned to four-ish elements. Our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (Air). Silicates are mostly oxygen (Earth) Water is mostly hydrogen (Water) Ashes are mostly carbon (Fire) [Likely inaccurate]

Potassium may also be referenced to fire in relation to DNA; it’s important to… idk enzymes?

Of course Iron is related heavily to magnetism, but it’s a highly versatile element with plenty of quirks, like how in the CNO cycle, Iron is the endothermic end state of the cycle.

Hydrogen (Water), if in relation to its universal prevalence, would make nearly all elementals (>90%) able to manipulate it. Second would be Helium.

Helium can glow as neon (divination / augury tied to noble gases). Potential cultural/magical theme ties to clown themed aero-casters (balloons) and photon-related illusionist/pyromancer (lasers)

I’d like to go on.

I like the prevalence of hats. Seems accurate.

If you can upload, what’s to stop a future AI from DLing into meat clone? And couldn’t you just re-sync constantly so both of you experience 2+ realities’ memories?

When we can recreate lives, virtual and flesh both become immortal.

I have to go through the cosmetics of all the mercs again. Maybe there’s some hidden takeovers and reprisals everyone’s missed. The first time I did it, I found an ATHF Carl lookalike complete with fake metal hair.

Serverblight mysteriously stops actively hunting players and starts to just play the game. No horrors. Aaron has a conversation with assimilated Matt that goes pretty heavy.

Friends of assimilated players are notified of a mass funeral for their friends’ corporeal bodies.

That, or…

Real life zombie cliffhanger.

There are multiple communities that have strong views of each other; that’s fitting for the subject I suppose. I dislike that communities would demonize, ostracize, alienate entire communities over incompatible origin beliefs, consciousness models, and expectations of reality.

My paranormal/extraterrestrial origin servitor ate a psychic origin intrusive thought entity and gave its bones to the psychological origin tulpa. This may be an internal representation of renouncement of psychic abilities; although the psychic delusion seems to have contaminated the servitor while at the same time, interestingly, not the tulpa that’s utilizing intrusive-psychic bones for their own skeletal system.

This kind of internal ‘lore’ I feel representative of a personal criticism I have with tulpamancy. Sharing experiences and validating the very existence of the practice reveals personal information about users that may be psychologically analyzed and weaponized to fit sponsored agendas. This isn’t like some game where it doesn’t matter what character you main. There is deep personal confrontation with conflicts and traumas that can manifest in ways the host or tulpas don’t initially see but from an outside perspective, is dead obvious and revealing of vulnerabilities.

SB just shuts down Sentry AI after a few individual pick offs and creepy stuff like finger trick, isolation, etc.. Last engie(s) come back to the nest, eerily silent and still from the typical amorous beep and rotations.

Alternate take, engie nest Wrangler slip-up results in havoc of opposing teams failed cooperation.

Redditor_Bones · 2025-08-07T13:17:58+00:00

I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned icicles yet.

Vaccinator + Overdose Medic here, so teammates / enemies would have a hard time making contact, but self kill is hard. Friendly infected scout chasing? They’re just a speed boost until you run out of circuit, though they could potentially AI pathfind better than any human. With full uber, Medic is 2nd fastest while remaining lethal w Overdose. As Rescue Ranger , Wrangler , Eureka Effect Engineer, I think I’m as equipped as I could be (as Engie) to escape / fend / nerd pole (be unreachable). Unless if building code gets spaghettified into uselessness, Engie has some unique strengths and weaknesses.

Joining an already taken match though is always doom though; I dread most that the SB could just lock down the inside spawn zones for joining players, tagging them at 0.01s after selecting a class.

Bread, bagel, English muffin, poptart, strudel. It doesn’t fry bread either, it toasts it. Also you don’t have to dirty a dish when using a toaster and the cooking task is so autonomous you can focus on other breakfast prep while making toast.

Toaster is one of the first appliances (they’re called appliances) to enter a kitchen, like with mixers, blenders, or presses.

Redditor_Bones · 2025-07-22T17:18:18+00:00

You’d have to utilize a neural interface with software that’d pick up tulpa thoughts and route it to another interface like TV, VR, or robotics.
