-> and mountain elves have drakelings, monsters not related to dragons despite the name. Tuannaki used to have rocs, but they're extinct.
Old murals depict high elves riding on giant, flightless birds (think chokobos), but they don't exist any more either.

Elemental magic is connected to the season you're born, something I've never seen before. You always start with your primary element and can learn others after you've mastered it. The elements also color your personality to an extent.->

#Ame_MagelingWIP:
Enuar is strong, but untrained and loses control quickly. Iria has perfect control, but lacks raw power. Zel is too afraid to take risks and mellows himself. Kit wins in power and versatility, but shadow magic has a huge weakness; light.
So they're about equal.

The only thing Enuar "knows" is that magic is bad and mages are evil, stemming from a story about an archmage who tried to take over the world 100+ years ago. Ofc it's more complicated than that, but that's something he learns later, after he starts his education.

Enuar grew up in a country where magic is forbidden. He truly believes that mages are evil. When he discovers he's a mage, he's scared and disgusted and runs away from home. His whole life changes after that, and most major characters in #Ame_MagelingWIP are mages of some kind.

Magic is not a big part of #Ame_NephilimWIP, as none of the characters are mages (until Book2), but it is a part of the world and will have an impact on the story.
In #Ame_MagelingWIP, all major characters are mages and the plot revolves heavily around magic in big and small ways.
#Febchantment 21
Choosing a snippet from #Ame_MagelingWIP this time. Enuar comes from a country where magic is forbidden, and he's yet to come to terms with being a mage himself and can't see the benefits magic could have.
First draft, translated to English, please excuse any errors.
Doing one for #Ame_MagelingWIP too, because they need some love.
Enuar is aroace. He hasn't figured anything out yet, but will during the books.
Saber is bi. She doesn't know yet, but doesn't think it's weird flirting with the cute witch girl.
Kit is gay. He didn't know until he fell hard.

Elemental magic has different schools (fire, air, water, earth and wood), distinguished by color (red, purple, blue, yellow and green).
Spiritism is white. Mentalism is mostly unseen, but has a dark grey color, often confused with the black of shadowmagic.

Losing control of a spell can have devastating consequences. An earthquake, a forest fire, pulling all the air out of someone's lungs... It's said that the giant ravine between three countries are the result of a magic spell gone wrong. ->

Using magic takes a physical toll on the body. Like exercise. You get tired, limbs tremble, maybe shortness of breath if you use too much magic. If you get a nosebleed, stop before you pass out. Mana crystals and being in your element helps, but only so much.
#Ame_MagelingWIP
As for psychic abilities; there are at least four kinds of seers in the world, all with slightly different abilities, granted by different gods/dragons/spirits. They aren't many, maybe 1 in 10,000 if that, but they are pillars of their respective society.

Movements and hand signs are the most common. Every school has a slightly different style (think Bending from ATLA). As you master your magic and grow more powerful you can get away with thinking your spell into existence, but it'll take years of practice.

A mage really doesn't need anything to cast magic. Some find it easier to cast spells with a focus, like a pendant. All students get a codex to write down spells because you can't keep everything in memory.
For rituals, certain ingredients and crystals are needed.
#Ame_MagelingWIP
-> A water mage standing by a lake will produce a more powerful spell than one standing on a mountain, for example.
It's a well known fact to most people, even non-mages, but maybe not the specifics (the above example).

-> that the tears formed an entire ocean.
This is also what alchemists refer to when they say "dragon tears", to confuse outsiders. It's just common (fresh) water, but it SOUNDS more impressive to call it Dragon Tears.

Only humans born with the Spark can wield magic. It's often inherited from one or both parents, but it has been known to skip a generation or two. The Spark awakens around puberty. Once awakened and mastered, a mage can learn other schools, with a few exceptions.

Mana = Raw magic energy
Schools = Each branch of elemental magic (fire, air etc)
Codex = A book where mages keep spells
Runes = Written language that doubles as letters and simple spells (shield, sprint etc) ->

Human magic is based in the elements: water, earth, wood, fire and air. There's also mentalism and spiritism they can learn. One particular group of humans can manipulate shadows, but not elemental magic.
#Ame_NephilimWIP #Ame_MagelingWIP
-> If you push water into the crevasses of a stone and freeze it, making it expand, the stone will crack.
Shadow, mental and spiritual magic is also mostly hard with soft parts. Divine magic is mostly soft.
And fairy magic is all soft, whimsical and undefined.

The southern Empire, where #Ame_NephilimWIP takes place, is roughly the size of Australia. The northern continent ( #Ame_MagelingWIP) is slightly bigger. The islands between the continents I'm less sure of. The larger ones ~ the size of Malta.
No kilometers; we guesstimate.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders 1
My world is called Gaia, but it is not our world. It's divided on two large continents and the band of islands between them. There are other worlds/planets/dimensions/whatever you want to call them, but they're only mentioned.

I'm gonna answer this for the MC of #Ame_MagelingWIP, Enuar. Commoners in his country don't generally celebrate birthdays (nobles do), and he's never celebrated his birthday. It's a bit of a cultural shock when his new friends bake a cake for him and give him gifts. He doesn't think he deserves it.

-> Saber was raised as a low noble, and was about to get married into a higher tier before she abandoned that life and became an outcast. She crowned herself a pirate queen and is basically nobility on her own ship, but in society... not so much.
4/4
#Ame_MagelingWIP
-> Enuar is an outcast and a criminal in his home country, just for being a mage. In the rest of the continent, that same gift could open many doors and grant him a comfortable life. With his mentor, he would be raised to the high mid rung on society's ladder. ->

Hello, I'm Ame! I'm writing about a queer-normative high fantasy world called Gaia. My primary WIP, #Ame_NephilimWIP, takes place on the southern continent, and #Ame_MagelingWIP is set on the northern. I also RP in this world and beyond, but it won't affect the WIPS... yet.

Drakelings (basically wyverns) are among the largest animals in the world. The mountain elves have tamed them as riding animals for their elite warriors. They're rare and difficult to breed and their riders are seen as remarkable.
#Ame_MagelingWIP
Not all my antagonists are evil. Some are, and knowingly so. Some do evil things out of naivete, or faith, or love. Very few antagonists see themselves as the villains. They have more of a "can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" kind of mindset.
#Ame_NephilimWIP #Ame_MagelingWIP
As a bonus:
Family is very important to the villain of #Ame_MagelingWIP. Especially if they're mages, and ESPECIALLY if they're HIS blood. Everyone else is just pawns. Of course, he'll use just about anyone - even family - to further his own goal, but it's all for the sake of family. Promise.
