Every wizard and witch needs spells to do things! Now, how do you create these? Feel free to give descriptions of your own magic!
Magic is used very often in my worlds, plenty of my characters function using magic, and plenty of worlds have power from magic. However, what types of magic is there? Depends on who you ask, and your definition of magic.
I create magic spells based off of spells in stories, mythology, different creatures, abilities, nature, what I see day to day life, and lots and lots of research! Especially with naming them! My trick is to think of what the spell would do, how it would be cast, what it's in the form of, and what it's consequences would be.
Rituals could be something where you need to give to get. Give some blood, you'll create a curse, give some herbs, you'll get a long lasting spell.
Charms could be used in the form of objects, along with Talismans, to either amplify or give a power.
Enchantments could be in the form of charms and spells, used to amplify or condense a character's abilities, powers, or even to curse a character.
Spells are the basis of all of these! Coming in different forms, different types, different purposes. Elemental, supportive, attack, defense, anything!
What's your magic like?
