Vigil: Tourist Trap - Tumblr Posts

3 years ago

I managed to improv a version of this in (I think) Vigil: Tourist Trap, but this is the thought-through version.

I strongly dislike fantasy settings where magic is a thing certain people have or can use and certain people can't (and I'm not only talking about the Dowager Transphobe's setting here). This take draws from old English folkloric magic, which was more about just ... learning the right names to say and rituals to perform to get an effect you want.

What you need to remember about magic

is that it's not a force or a resource - it's an act.

It's not something you can have. It's not something you can use.

It's something you perform.
