Whumperless Whump - Tumblr Posts
Just saw (and subsequently accidentally reset my feed therefore losing) a post about magical item whump (magic euphoria) and remembered a concept I thought about a while back
Magic ring that gives you some kind of amazing power, be it healing or super strength or something. But every time you use it, it eats a little bit of your body. You put it in your finger, and when you wear it, you’ve got a cool looking fake finger, but when you take it off, it’s gone.
You use it more and it becomes a bracelet, slowly eating more and more of your body with each use. And the magic is so good! So helpful, useful, powerful. Especially if the person using it was burdensome in a fight before, but now they can finally protect their loved ones!
How long before they stop taking it off altogether? Do their loved ones know the effects? Or do they hide it with gloves and long sleeves? At what point is it impossible to remove without severe damage to the user? At what point is their body entirely made of magic?
Caretaker who has no idea what they’re doing.
They pack the wound with dirt
They move the whumpee with the broken bones
They stuff a wallet in the seizing whumpee’s mouth and restrain them
Caretaker who’s trying their damn hardest, but has no idea how to help Whumpee, and they just end up making it worse
