Is there a chance that this site will eventually start a dedicated discord server? I can’t help but feel it would be beneficial overall.

I have settled on creating the world from an earlier time period. Likely a medieval scenario in which arcanists have vastly superior resources and knowledge. I want to start from there and, if all goes well, write about later time periods with the previous book or books as the historical...

I believe so. I’ve started writing for practice and posted twice in critiques. Just trying to figure out how it is that I even prefer to write. :)

Most will be some kind of bored, no doubt. That said, they are not without some sort of entertainment. They have ways of scrying the world and beyond. They have nothing but time and learn a lot about the universe, though they are in exile. The system of magic I am implementing has a...

Hello! I am a new writer attempting my first delve into the fantasy genre. My goal is to write fantasy that utilizes the most grounded magic system I could manage. One in which spells are akin to computer coding to alter the “source code” of reality. In order for an Arcanist to understand the...
