D. Gray Warrior
Troubadour
I don't want to give away too much as I don't want people stealing my ideas, but I am stuck with a magic system I am creating.
My world has magic technology, and magic is used as a power source for various devices and vehicles.
The mages create machines that run off magic by pricking their finger and write in blood somewhere on the device. They write runes with their finger and speak as they write to infuse the runes and the machinery with magic.
Whenever they need to activate it, they simply drag their finger across the blood runes and speak aloud the words that are written. The same thing is done to deactivate it, except the finger is dragged in the opposite direction.
This is where the hard part comes in. This system is supposed to be a magical version of a security system by recognizing the voice of the person along with reading their body and it is further protected with the proper pronunciation of those runes.
I want the villain to circumvent this somehow and steal the other mages' devices.
Activation requires not only correct pronunciation and and dragging the finger, but also the correct voice and there must be a connection between the mana in the runes and the mana in the individual Mage.
What are some ways evil mages could run away around this?
