    Nimbia: Nomads of Otto

    Here walks the young king Otto and his caravans of wanderers, bending time and seeing prophecies, while riding beasts and the wind itself, they travel long and wide through all Nimbia, through the forests, to the frozen lands, even the plains and deserts of the barren lands of the south, here...

    Help! My Magic System is a mess and I need to allocate my sub elements :)

    Hi, I'm a new member of this community but I've been going in and out of this page for months now. Anyways, I'm a wannabe writer who writes about fantasy world stories. This time, I'm writing about a world revolving around magic and has no correlation or connection to 'Earth'. My world has no...

    Weird Weapon/Creature/Magic Ideas

    Here, I'll share one of mine: Wait...what if you put sulfuric acid IN a brick? Then it would be perfect for battle! Break the brick on a wall, and acid sprays down on a bunch of people! The people will just think you're throwing a brick at them, so they'll duck...then acid falls on their head...

    New Attempt At A Magic System

    So, I want there to be different types of magic- I already have elemental magic, it is casted by using special elemental orbs that are very rare and look like Skyrim spells (a bit of fire in someone's hand) but I need other types of magic too. I am not doing a spell system, I'm doing a more...

    Magic system thoughts?

    Hi all, Toying with a new idea for a magic system surrounding the use of the mind. Here it goes; Some are born with the innate ability to use their minds at a higher level than others, they possess mental powers and abilities. Just like with intelligence, memory etc not everyone is born equal...

    Short story

    The Hex Boy. Once upon a time there were two brothers with a gift for Hex magic. Both are loved and boasted by their parents. Hex magic was a rare affinity within the world they live in and they couldn't be any happier. These boys would horse around and play pranks on one another after...

    Need help with designing a way that natives can use magic

    What i currently have is a magic system dependent on magic cores and magic channels in every being. Every human is born with something resembling a nervous system made out of what i call "channels". The channels are responsible for sucking out mana out of the environment or for expelling it to...

    The Realms

    So, I have a rough idea for a world called The Realms. Basically, there are a bunch of different dimensions (One where the gravity is random, one where giant earthworms burrow around, one full of dog hybrid creatures in a savannah, etc) and there is an ancient evil known as The Nightlord who is...

    Chapter 27 - The Growing Spark

    Once back at her house, Ashlyn had Damien lay down on her mother's sofa. His head rested back as Ashlyn knelt down beside him. "Perhaps you should open your shirt," she said, resisting the redness creeping into her cheeks. Giving a pensive stare, Damien undid the buttons on his shirt and let...

    Chapter 26 - Questions Unanswered

    When Ashlyn opened her eyes, she found herself trapped in a giant bird cage. Her prison was built with slender steel bars and a rounded dome at the top. “Girithane!” She got to her feet, tugging at the bars. “This doesn’t solve anything!” It was quiet where she stood captive. After scanning...

    Chapter 25 - The Raven's Den

    Girithane led Damien and Ashlyn back the way they had come. Once they arrived at the mossy circle of stones, Girithane stepped inside it and disappeared. Like the flapping of wings, his figure vanished and left nothing in its trace. “Whoa.” Damien was startled at the sight of it. “Where did he...

    Magic System Idea

    Thaumturgic energy is a force in the universe that causes strange things to happen, and it can defy the laws of physics. Sorcerers are natural conductors of this force (nicknamed magic). Sorcerers can either channel raw magic to have a random effect, or they can create spells. Spells are...

    Chapter 23 - The Raven's Circle

    Ashlyn reveled in the sound of the rushing stream, the pure light glinting off the water. She had missed this: standing in the cool riverbed as the current gently pushed against her ankles. The pebbles and stones beneath her feet were smooth, softened by moss. Bending down, she picked up a...

    Magic Language?

    I'm wondering what makes more sense to use. Let's say somebody is a magician of sorts and uses a certain phrase to summon their power. Should it be based off the language I'm writing in, which is English, or should I make it up entirely? That might mean I have to actually flesh out a whole...

    Back in the comfort of home, Lanara tended to the bloody wound on Damien's cheek. Around them, the winter feast had turned into heavy celebration. Kallus, Naelen, and Calda all sat by the fire to warm themselves. Calda had a wool blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a mug of hot tea...

    Chapter Seventeen- Metal and Magic

    Calda's house was in sight, and the three youths crouched to stay low. Naelen had a stern feeling in his gut as he creeped toward the house. "We should stay quiet," he warned. "Last time I made too much noise." Lila acknowledged him with a nod. "Where to, little brother?" He gestured to the...
