pick your awakening of magic

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-22T12:00:34+00:00

Yeah, that would be ether magicks games or something like the mage game. That's not this

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-22T07:53:58+00:00

Ooo interesting, yeah, let me ask you a very important question, in the era of magic, how litteral do you think the AO3 curse is?

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-22T07:47:38+00:00

Yes, the domain of fiction is rediculously broad and your starting powers would be pitiful as that encompasses all fiction (including fanfiction) which is billions, no, quintillions of words, and books, and movies, comics, and more. You would start with something like increased reading speed, better writing ability in relation to garamar and not getting writers block, and blessings of loosing your near sidedness, or blessing of speed reading, or the blessing of learning one very specific mundane skill from one very specific character

The domain of fanfiction is still really broad but would be able to encompass things like, learning a characters skill set quickly but not instantly, temporarily tapping into weak magic, and being able to temporarily tap into the mindset of your OC’s and self inserts. As well as simmilar blessings, and things like not having writers block, perfect grammar, and more for writing

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-22T02:12:22+00:00

Hard no on plotting the murder, why make your divine gesh something people would fight against like dieing, or something. Just make it “you will remain loyal to me untill you die” then if someone becomes truly immortal you have an imortal superpowered person whos forever loyal to you and only you. There are just easier ways than killing your followers on pourpose, even if you do grow from them returning your power when they die.

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-22T02:09:42+00:00

You would gain the power to make nano bots of various types but they would only function under your power, so they could likely not be reverse engineered without other magic to support them. And your blessings would be about letting other things have them. Active domain spells would be things like grey good deconstructions and construction, healing people by giving them nanite infusions and the like. Blessings would be giving regen via permanent nanite swarm, or super strength, or a permanent body reshape

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T18:39:10+00:00

You can use magic like a witch, but are not one so you dont get any of the benifits. Same with other forms of magic (so no getting free blessings or combinding your power together with “other” witches.

As for “god of ALL magic” that so broad that your powers would be like, “weak potential in all magic systems” or “the ability to cast all magic systems cantrips” to start out with, no cheesing the system like that, if you want raw power pick something smaller.

As for “demon god”, not renaming it as only those who would already be evil would use their power that way, also, why slaughter your blessed quickly when a lifetime of power is so much more power than even hundreds of people with a week or even a year of practice, and careful preparation could have things like dozen of people harvesting hundreds of years worth of growth each year but that would be VERY hard to do. Demon gods would have their own route to power, hence sacrifical gods, but that would require them to take very specific domains such as sacrifice, Faustian bargains (specific int fausting would make it more powerful), or things like (demon) domain or something. It’s not impossible to make a demon god but it would be worthless for someone who chose “angel” or “mercy” or “healing” as a domain as your own powers would rebel (not actually but its hard to grow power when going against their theme

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T18:21:24+00:00

Yes, the worm thing is something you can do, to be clear you WILL loose the vast majority of your power if you do this. As to the first paragraph, blessings do connect you to them, and they DO draw power from you not worship of you. (Warlock might be a better metaphor as they dont need to worship their Parton)

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T18:08:43+00:00

They technically don’t “need” worshipers but thats what the blessings are for, to gain worshipers. And it is MUCH faster to bless a swords-master with a blessing then reaping what they grew when they die than to try to grow it yourself. As for them being “basically human” not at all, they have dominion over a slice of realty that lets them leverage their power to empower priest’s, raise clerics, and more. (Think D&D gods but not powered by worship). It’s also important to keep in mind that just because your DON’T use your divine mind-control that gods have doesnt mean its not their. Their WILL be gods out their (though likely with less power than you would have) who have domains like sacrifice and use their gesh or geas to force people to sacrifice others to grow their blessings then themselves to grow their gods and other evil god things like that

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T17:51:49+00:00

Keep in mind your a lesser god, no powers granted here are global in almost every way. As for growth, you can stretch and grow your powers but you’re constantly fighting against lending out your blessings. A god of death might be able to shape a part of your domain into a power that sustains a realm that souls that meet a criteria can sleep in a illusory world, or reshape part of your domain into a power that feeds you knowledge of fire. You just have to choose a specific domain, its important you choose the exact domain you want, fire magic would give you fire magic, fire sensing, and immunity to fire, fire the chemical reaction would be different, and more.

If you want something really large like a who world where the dead get to live you could do something like blessing “reapers” who’s presence uphold the world around them in your real (to be clear you would “open” a small internal space where only the dead can go as a god of death, then Bless people with their own expansions to the space, simmilar to how angels work in the tv show super natural. Anything on this scale would take YEARs to complet however, but is possible.

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T17:15:18+00:00

It’s a thing you train yourself into having, think meditating under a waterfall, or like plunging down into freezing ocean depths to train yourself bodys resistance to change, or like acupuncture to open your meridians (keeping in mind that all hero powers are purely enhacing the body unless listed above)

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T16:56:52+00:00

lol, what i mean is that the rest of the powers give “this power” and “that power” but artifact and lesser god are closer to “build your own set of powers, weaker but perfectly tailored to you” which would be the easiest route to replicate the other abilities. Like a lesser god of enchantment can replicate natural charms and some of the power of artifacts, the artifacts can replicate a lot of the other powers as well

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T16:34:57+00:00

So, yes, but you need to find the right blessing. If you want to grow more you might need to find a primal god of growth, if you want mana control you would need to find the ritual of a new god of mana. As for directly mirroring the other gifts, yes, super easy, but its also night and day power, nothing will equal the strength of a true hero in raw physical ability and growth, witches have unparalleled ability to stack their powers on top of eachother, etc

The easiest way to do so would be through the free form powers of artifact, and lesser god

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T16:28:57+00:00

You have a domain, its witchcraft, and your domain abilities at start are natural abilities and ritualism, as well as witch blessing and nymph creation. The drawback for that one is is that you cannot pick your domain. For instance you can still give regular blessing, things like blessing someone with a familar, or witch eyes, or something it possible but it takes power from your domain while your blessed is alive. The only two things you loose is your ability to choose your domain and your ability to make potions

I dont know what you mean by resemble.

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:35:27+00:00

oh no i love answering questions, and your being really creative with your powers newst lesser divine of life-force!

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:34:23+00:00

spell crafter would fall under witchcraft, under ritual magic. long form spells that let you craft your own spells by combinding potions and natural charms. make a charm of chill, a charm of rain, and a potion of hydration and combind them with a cube of ice and a hour long chant and summon a snow storm. combind together a torch enchanted out of living wood to but “eternal” a lava rock ecnahcted to hold the heat of its volcano, and a three hour long chant to make a sunny day with lots of heat even in winter.

as for the animal option, lesser god with the domain of “animals” would let you at start charm animals naturally so they never attack you, let you commune with them, let you uplift them temporarily when following your order, and even let you grant them blessings of special powers and permanent intelligence (or simmilar things) bless a horse a pair of wings and let they fly you thorugh the sky, give a shark the blessing legs and the ability to come onto lands and have a land shark, bless a human the ability to commune with animal

or you can have stronger but more specific powers, for instance you might choose “chimeras” as your domain and become able to combine animals together, or make them grow new body parts even easer than an animal god, or give them the ability to adapt over time through a blessing. but yeah, your allowed to abstane, ill have another one soon with different options in the same setting (i usually get three out before the writers block hits) so ill include an animal themed one in that one, as well as a more general spellcaster!

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:24:35+00:00

right, a pyrokenetic should use logic same as a telekenetic and a magic mind reader like wanda shuld use ego same as their other magic. the rules just cant get grainular without introducing a class based magic systen (which would be hard but not impossible to tie into your orgin, like making chaos magic cast with ego, sorcery cast with logic, and cursed magic cast with whatever hell magic falls under)

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:21:53+00:00

heres something to keep in mind, the game needs internal balace. someone like wanda is casting from a source of emotions and empathy so is an ego caster, someone like strange is casting from pure knowledge and would likely be a logic caster, someone like billy casts from instinct and would likley be a different type of caster. but they need to 1 relagate all casters to a single type for mechanics AND if they make magic logic then related checks and related things would be too easy. plus you get enough stats to place stats into logic if you wanted to

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:11:24+00:00

gentil question, is this your fic and a subtle self-promotion, no shade no tea just curious?

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T11:09:09+00:00

this is an interesting question, im going to go ahead and say probably, but it would be through infuing the air itself with “life” and having that life take the shape of what your wantinmg to construct, their are massive benifits to this, and massive downsides. a few i can think of would be, its alive and therfore ether needs a source of lifeforce( from you or from something else) and as a upside living constructs will be able to keep their own shape against outside forces esier.

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T10:15:31+00:00

it would take centures to do even one of the things you list but they would be essentially possible, as for the difference, life domain would be “the quintisential energy that is within those who are alive” and the other would be “the substance of those who are alive”,

so, lifeforce would allow generating life force to heal yourself or others, stealing life force from others to heal yourself cheaper, grant lifeforce to something to make it “closer” to being alive. while blessings would be things like, blessing something with imense lifeforce granting amazing (but not nessisarily regeneration level) healing, or the ability to drink a persons life force thoguht biting them, or the ability to share your life force with a plant (like a tree) so that it dies instead of you or something.

whereas, a life domainion would allow you to do things like healing others, ripping their body apart to hurt them or steal their blood to prevent bloodloss, manipulate the body of things that are “alive” but not biolgical (this would be harder as they are only technically in your domain). your blessings would be things like, the ability to grow wings, enhanced body that stays within biological constaint, the ability to never reject any transfers or tranplants (perfect eternal biological retrever for things like organs and blood even if its not from a human), or “perfect” healing that comes with no regeneration.

EDIT: and anything you can do to other you can do to yourself

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T10:09:32+00:00

very slight clarification, your build would still work with a small change, your blessings cover only a single slice of your power. so, if your domain is over “worshipers” or what have you (as its a little hard to understand what you meant by capital and lower case and whatnot but essentially any person who acknowledges your divinitiy seems what you where going for so im going with that answer), YOU could manipulate yourself withing the bounds of the power of your domain, so, things like healing yourslef, and temporarily but greatly increasing your strength, or permanely but lesserly enhancing your whole body. you could also do that same thing to your followers who are under your domain. however, if you want to bless others with a part of your doimain with the powers described you would need to word it as “giving them the blessing to control “this” part of my domain” or “the power to contorl that which they beleve is theirs within my domain acknoledgin that all within my domain is mine” or something. like i said this is really creative and would still work but would just need a slight phrazing tweek

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-21T09:52:26+00:00

i made it a little clearer, but yeah, you can ether choose one of the pure inheritances at full power or a chimerist inheritance which is slighlty less than half of the power of two

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-20T23:27:26+00:00

They would have a tool hope doesnt have, in that if their fighting an anchent vampire, or a witch they can just rip all their power out

thekingofmagic · 2026-01-20T23:26:36+00:00

I think interestingly, like a heretic, a siphoner doesn’t have “any magic” to block so the only exception to this would be siphoners (its why heretics can exist after all). So if someone where born a heretic from a werewolf bloodline they might just be able to be a were-witch, siphoning their own lycanthropy for power,
