Yk what the queen should have?

BLIMPS!!!

She wants to rule with an iron fist? What better way to do so other than surveilling from above!

A fleet of these badboys? Are sure to stir up nationalisim in the royalist hearts! And fear into the enemies!

What better way is there to instill hopelessness and fear into rebel hearts?

(dont mind my blimp propaganda lol, i just fucking love blimps)

OMG YOU'RE SO RIGHTTTTTTTTT AAAAAA

I LOVE this idea! I've definitely gotta add this to my world!!

Whats the magic system like in fallen magic? :0

OOH GOOD QUESTION!

Ok don't judge me but... This is actually something I'm still struggling to figure out for sure... PLEASE offer some suggestions! I want magic that can be used fast for fighting, etc. Here's what I have so far:

Runes are used a LOT as a form of magic. You carve a series of runes onto, say, a rock, and BOOM– Now it has mild protective properties. For example, my character, John, has a pair of knuckledusters that have runes carved along it. These runes make John's punches more powerful and allow him to preserve more of his energy so that he can fight longer without wearing himself out. Another example is Adler, who has runes tattooed along his arm which help increase his speed and agility slightly.

Runes can also be used as traps. We see Rune Traps laid out all around Josep and Adler's property. When John, Blake, and Nathan (the Main Trio in the book) accidentally step on these runes, they activate the spell and become trapped in bubbles that shrink the more you move.

I also thought about having Runes be a language– where there are whole books written in rune. Idk if I'll do that though. What do you think?

I do have a few spell ideas that I wanted certain characters to have. John, for instance, has a few fire spells, and Josep has a spell that allows him to manipulate and travel through shadows. However, I don't think I want my characters to be limited to only one type of element. For example, I don't want John to ONLY have fire magic, Josep to ONLY have shadow magic, Nathan to ONLY have wind magic, etc. I need to figure out exactly how spells are carried out and how they're practiced.

I know that I don't want my characters to use wands. Maybe they have to SAY a spell for it to work? Idk. I've thought about expanding using runes for magic, but I'm not sure how it would work. How do you use runes quickly in the heat of battle to cast spells in rapid succession? How do you remember what combination of runes do what? The runes work for small spells and such, but I'm not sure how they'd work beyond that. If you have ideas PLEASE SHARE because I've been struggling lol!

(Example of John's knuckle dusters, except instead of crosses, his has different runes on each knuckle)

Also, there is a lot of "mundane magic", like certain tea blends having certain magical effects, or types of houseplants with magical properties, etc. There are also things that aren't STRICTLY magical, but rather are more superstitions ("Oh, a moss stone, those are good luck!" / "We were going to travel to Rye, but a snake crossed our path. We know a warning when we see one! We'll go next week.")

HELLO THERE HOWS IT GOING

HI!! 👋

It’s going well, I’ve just been working and have been tired 😂

I’m currently working on a fun, random little “Choose Your Own Adventure” art project, which is set in the world of Fallen Magic and uses some of my characters. It isn’t canon to the book, it’s just a fun way for me to practice art and world building lol.

How have you been?!

LMFAOOOO

couple of old farts

Im sorry but i gotta ask, is ekward a bit akward?

LMAO HOW DID YOU KNOW?!

Yes, he is very socially awkward. He knows how to be a stone-cold knight who doesn't let any important information slip, but he does NOT know how to be much else lmao. He's trying, though.

And yes, I've made the "Ekward? More like awkward" joke for him.
