    Types/Rules of Magic

    Evening all! I'm currently writing up the "rules" of magic for my world. Thus far, there are five categories. I've essentially written a thesis on the subject. However, I have hit a small snag. Can someone provide their opinions on the difference between glamour and shape-shifting for me? Is...

    Werewolf-type creature transformations - what could trigger them?

    In my current book, I've created my own version of a werewolf. They transform into decidedly different types of creatures, and I've invented my own abilities and limitations for them; so they're werewolves except that everything is changed a little, if that makes sense. The one change I can't...

    Human Anti-Magic

    So, here's my thoughts. On the world I am invisioning, the first living beings were spirits(elementals, wisps, djnn, the whole shibang).

    How can I come up with a good cost for my magic?

    In my story's world, witchcraft is a respected institution, with the most powerful practitioners being at the top echelons of society.

    How witches summon daemon familiars

    I watched a series called "Game of Thrones" in which a priestess called The Red Woman conceives a shadow demon and uses it to kill the enemies of the king she served.

One of the gods from the world pantheon wishes to be reincarnated into the physical realm in order to experience what it is like to be human. Do to ancient laws made eons ago, gods cannot enter the realm...

  12. The Forbidden Forest

    Prologue

    A little six-year-old girl called River Greene sat perched upon her bed, a pouting expression on her face as her slightly-blurry gaze skimmed across the books on her bookshelves. With a dramatic sigh, she fell back and groaned in an oddly sing-song tone, “Bored, bored, bored!” Just then, her...
