Why not mediumship for the spiritism one? Or ritualism. A part of naming it depends on how exactly the magic is performed, so once you decide on that, it will be a tad easier to name it. Perhaps for wizardry, you could change the name to arcane studies, or make up a word like arcanism...

Sorry, but your picture wont show for me?

Thank you! I've been useing Flickr, and it just doesn't work haha. And yea, as for font size, I was worried it was going to be TOO big, but it could probably be a bit bolder. And maybe not red. haha thanks for the feedback :)

Haha well thank you very much! To be honest, I just blare some trance tunes and get in the groove, and time kinda just zooms by haha just remember that if you DO make a map in paint, to save it as a .png, or else you'll get these nasty blurry gray lines around everything that you draw. I had to...

I...I don't know that - AHHHHHH! Haha I just meant that I hope I can match the caliber of other writers on the forum. They are all so good!

Haha no that is a perfectly viable point of view; I think there are many differant schools of thought on this, and niether of us is wrong, per say. And maybe I should ask a question: would information like that (as in, why a mesa is where it is) be included in the actual work itself? For me, as...

I'm fairly new to this whole writing thing, but to me it seems like you perhaps worry a tad too much on realism. I mean, we are all fantasy writers, am I correct? Leave something to the reader's imagination! They honestly are not going to care with how a particular mesa came to be located in a...

haha gosh thank you all for being so welcoming!!! I hope that I can write well enough to be a part of this forum haha

Hahaha I just used paint and went pixel by pixel lol I feel that it lets me get a good, hand-drawn feel out of my maps but is still easier to edit and add things to than a real hand drawn one. It takes a while haha but I think it is worth it. And the story of mine is probably blended in with the...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :) I'm sure I'll see you around the forums!

The middle continent is about the size of North America. And thank you the feedback! These are my first maps, so I'm still kind of learning haha

For me, all my names have to be based on the culture and the language of the area my characters are from. I'm not saying that I create a whole langauge or anything like that, but lets say I'm writing about a character who is from a country who's architecture is Arabic-like, the culture is Arabic...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here seen the new MMORPG Guild Wars 2? It isn't out yet, but the races in the game are fairly unique, in the sense that they take bits and pieces of older races and create new ones (like the Sylvari, an elven-fae race but also with a plant biology. Not platlike...

Hey all! I'm new to this thread, so I apologize if I do something wrong haha but here are a few maps I've created for a world I'm working on. These are just the bare bones; I'm working on a climate map and culture map, so hopefully I can post that sometime haha. I would love to hear what you all...

Hey there everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and just wanted to say hello :) I'm really interested in world-building, and I'll probably head over there and throw a map or two up for fun lol anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm not sure what all I'm supposed to say ahaha I'm just...
