Plaintext & Emoji Spell: Warding

[ID: A plaintext and emoji spell written out. It's within a decorative text box, with the ciphered text reading "P klthuk aoha hss aopunz mhszl huk bupucpalk hyl nvul myvt tf zwhjl". It is surrounded by various emoji, a broken heart, a moose, a siren, a nazar amulet, a firecracker, scissors, and a salt shaker. There is also an upright and inverted pentagram within the box. /end ID]

Like to charge, reblog to cast!

See an alternate casting version of this spell under the readmore.

(For transparency, the cipher text is the Caesar Cipher to the degree of 7, and the plain text is "I demand that all things false and uninvited are gone from my space." As well, it's an image to maintain formatting.)

⛤ TO CAST: Pick one of the following...

printing it out or drawing it by hand onto paper and leaving in the relevant place

putting it onto a flashdrive and leaving the flashdrive where you want it

say the ciphered text to the best of your ability, even if it's just reading each individual letter (or, you can say the unciphered text)

You can see the plaintext here for copy/pasting:

╭ ⚬ ══════════ ♢ ══════════ ⚬ ╮ 💔 🫎 🚨 ⚬ 🧿 🧨 ✂️ P klthuk aoha hss aopunz mhszl huk ⛤ — 🧂 — ⛧ bupucpalk hyl nvul myvt tf zwhjl. ✂️ 🧨 🧿 ⚬ 🚨 🫎 💔 ╰ ⚬ ══════════ ♢ ══════════ ⚬ ╯

I highly suggest putting it into a document and centering it for formatting reasons.

Happy casting!

the google docs spelling/grammar check is soooooo bad it's like. do you want to change the tense of this verb for literally no reason. i do not! die

Ayda Aguefort character sheet!

I went through FHSY transcripts and wrote down every spell she used and figured out what level she was and made a full character sheet for my beautiful wife, Ayda Aguefort.

Actual character sheet and plaintext description below the cut: here's how I figured it out.

Ayda has one (1) 7th level spell slot, and presumably no 8th level spell slots, since she can only cast Teleport once per day. This puts her at either 13th or 14th level, the only difference being that at 14th level, Divination wizards get "Greater Portent", aka an extra Portent roll per long rest. Looking through the transcripts, she never uses more than 2 portent rolls per long rest, so we will assume she is 13th level.

In terms of background, "Sage" makes the most sense. Like, you roll to determine your “specialty” and one of the options is librarian. She’s gotta be a sage. This gives her proficiencies in arcana and history, two languages of choice, and the "Researcher" feat - “When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it." Extremely in character

Wizards pick 2 proficiencies from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, and Religion. I picked Investigation & Medicine, since she already gets Arcana and History from "Sage".

Spells are tricky - I included every spell she uses in the series, but wizard spellbooks are weird in that there's kind of no limit to the amount of spells you can know, the limit is just on how many you can prepare. You automatically learn two new spells per level, so I went through and added other spells (in italics) up to the minimum amount of spells she would know, and then made a list of other spells that seem likely for her to know, or that you could switch in if you like. she does fully live in a library so like. who knows what she could know?

Also, there's a spell she uses during the fight aboard the Goldenrod that sounds a lot like Steel Wind Strike, though it isn't 100% confirmed, so I put a question mark next to it. We also don't know what exact spell she was going to use to "flood hell" - I chose Tidal Wave because it seemed most likely, but it could also be a spell of her own invention.

Final product below the cut!

the reason these don't have image IDs is bc I'm putting the IDs after the images bc there's so much text. also sorry the resolution's shit i don't know why that happened it looks fine on my computer. also i don't know how passive wisdom works im sorry its probably just her normal wisdom (11)??

Additional features & traits

“a resplendent beautiful woman who from the knees down has large talons, she also has digitigrade ankles, she has those ankles that kind of kick back like a lot of animal feet do. So from the knees on down become these almost like metallic golden talons. She bears a striking resemblance to Arthur Aguefort the moment you look at her”

“She looks kind of harpy-esque until you realize that she does have arms in addition to wings. So she has these incredibly, and as they spread, deep red wings that as they approach the tips of the feathers sort of change into orange, and by the time they get to yellow, flicker in a little edge of flame on the outside of the wings. She's dressed in sort of like white linen pants with a pirate's sash on them. No guns or anything you can see. Sort of vest, a lot of sort of orange runes tattooed on her arms, you see that she has a short shock of red hair, it seems to be not on the sides or back as much, almost like a plume of red fiery hair that comes off the top of her head. And her eyes have pupils in them but are otherwise clearly roiling balls of flame.”

“You see that she does have two scrolls at the side on her bandolier, and similarly to the guy downstairs, but sort of like she has it on those leather harnesses you would have for guns, but it's two small books strapped under each arm.”

She's dead :( maybe some ghost stuff can happen until someone revives her...

I'm currently possessing Samah

No longer possessing Samah

hello fantasy high fandom i have come to offer my own stupid crackship which i have dubbed ivywyn AKA two mean beautiful nasty bitches having a grand time roasting the shit out of each other <3333

plaintext under cut:

Right as Ivy's finally within range, Aelwyn turns on her heel abruptly, stopping in her tracks and narrowing those beautiful beautiful blue eyes at her in a way that would make Ivy squirm in place under different circumstances. "I thought there was someone watching me," she says, and then sneers, her features going sharp in an instant. "Did not realize it was one of you… what was your little gang called again? Mouse Fuckers?" 

If any other member of her party had been here, that would've been an inciting incident for rage. Ivy only laughs. "Is that the best you can come up with? My, and I've heard such tales of the great Aelwyn Abernant and her wicked tongue." 

Aelwyn snorts and she gives a, quite frankly, adorable roll of her eyes as she regards Ivy with something akin to contempt. "I know better than to waste my time on your kin," she says scathingly. "I don't know what you might be doing here, but I would suggest you leave as quickly as you can." 

The suggestion spell that washes over Ivy is so conceptually amusing to her that she almost considers letting herself fail on purpose. Almost. 

"Oh, you poor thing," she says instead, wiggling her ears purposefully. "Are you so removed from society now that you've forgotten basic biology? I'm an elf, my dear, I can't be charmed." 

"Well, it was worth a shot," Aelwyn only shrugs, like she's not even bothered. "Can never be too certain of anything. Besides, you don't seem like you're really the wise type."

sucks when i see an image and i want to reblog it but its not alt texted and a id in plaintext would look ugly kind of miss not being conscientious <- holy fuck that's the first time i've spelled conscientious right on my first try everybody say "congrats endeus on your spelling prowess and conscientiousness." anyway on occasion i;ve reblogged them anyway but it always makes me feel kinda bad this is about the four (4) gifsets of klim kostin as a detroit red wing that are sitting in my drafts

Aldercherub!

(note: this was originally coined by win95s, on a blog which has since been terminated. the archive is here. this post will only contain plaintext.)

aldercherub is an aldernic identity related to the desire to have a body, either partially or completely, related to cherubim.

for the user, the desired form could include having multiple wings, eyes, animal heads, or other animal features.

the ideal form also has an overall aura of etherealness, of being divine & heavenly. for some it may also be eerie or unsettling,

an alternate spelling for the term could also be alderkerub, & im coining it under both

[devout-khajiit]

So obviously emoji spells are a thing with the like to charge reblog to cast format, but I was thinking maybe that'll work with a text addition as well... time to make some.

I'm thinking ciphered text and things like symbols as well as emoji to help charge the context.

[muppet-meddler]

there was a blog that reblogged miltons posts with a correctly spelled plaintext version of what he was saying although I cannot remember the name

If Someone Knows What Blog This Is, It Would Be Greatly Appreciated For Research Purposes.

📂📂📂write as many as you want lol

bellroc has gorgeousssss handwriting, imagine the prettiest cursive ever. they've got their feather pen (one of The Black Feathers, with a nib they crafted themself ofc) and they use all these pretty dark red and dark blue and shimmery black inks.

they're literate, of course. but they're medieval literate, which means spelling is a uh. personal and adventurous affair.

they'll have these beautiful lines of script in their notebooks and if you look closer it just says:

'I haff began adding two mor stele peeces to the alloy and it has mayd it far mor duruble to wethering'

(plaintext below cut)

The parents were despondent when you told them their son had magical proclivities. For years, they'd hoped the strange incidences in & around their house had just been that, strange coincidences, children being funny, & so on. The parents begged you to let him stay, surely there were better candidates, stronger candidates? You sighed & told them you would reconsider, but internally you knew there would be none better. His animus was stronger than any for a hundred miles or more. If you didn't apprentice him, someone else would.

So you asked the parents who was in charge in the village, & they pointed you to a house slightly more well-built than the others. When you arrived, you could see that the left side of the porch was starting to lean a bit, & heavy traces of soot around the chimney told you that no one had cleaned it in a generation. Times were somewhat harder here, even for the slightly well off, as they were everywhere. You made a mental note that you knew a strengthening spell for the porch, & that your broom-staff could make swift work of the chimney, although it would leave a mess down below if you weren't careful.

The village leader (for the village was much too small to have a mayor) opened the door with visible shock on his face. "Madame Wizard," he began. You held up a hand & smiled to comfort him. You inquired about the local housing market & the tension in his shoulders evaporated. He happily explained that Rutger, just down the street, kept records of housing in the village, & made sure that the half a dozen vacant ones were kept in decent shape, & of course he was happy to walk you down to Rutger's & then show you around the village as long as he wouldn't be a bother. You assured him he wouldn't, & that his experience would be useful. As you walked down the street, the two of you engaged in idle conversation & he mentioned in passing that the village had had neither witch nor wizard nor warlock nor alchemist in at least two generations. You joked aloud that perhaps you could fill two or three of those roles, but certainly not all four, & he gave a kind laugh & said any help was welcome.

The next 5 hours were a whirlwind of visits around the village. The famed Rutger turned out to be a spry & shrewd elderly gentleman, who took one look at you & decided that the house with the Aerie would be best for you. Examining the place in question, you noted that it was well-kept, had ample gardening space, was still a part of the village proper so as to not alienate her, in addition to having easy access to the forest. The aforementioned Aerie, of course, was excellent, & would need very little dusting.

Next was the local herbalist, whose grandmother had been the village alchemist, don't you know? She had never had the touch for it, but knew the herbs as well as any & could mix up a good-old fashioned remedy of most kinds when needed. You interrogated her on her knowledge, & walked away satisfied once you learned the local names for things you needed were available, with a promise to teach her some of what you knew in exchange for regular requests for what you needed.

Next was the small grocer's & butcher's, where you checked what was available & covertly made sure there were no parasites or infections in the local food. You made a mental note to do some wards over the forest where most hunting occurred, & bless the fields with bountiful & healthy harvest using the usual methods.

Then came the carpenter & the blacksmith (you were surprised the small village even had the latter), who together served as a jack of all repair trades more than anything. That one you spent the longest at, discussing the various problems in the village, what needed repairing, lack of money for materials from trade, how it might be done with less & a bit of magic. You mentioned the village leader's porch & the carpenter hung his head in a little bit of shame, for he had never quite been able to fix that issue due to a rather damp bit of ground beneath that made all repairs only temporary. You promised to teach him a little of water drainage & as you left, you noticed a new spring in his step.

Your broom-staff was decidedly more staff than broom that very full day. The village was quite nice, & you were certain you could pull together a monthly town mob to go around fixing & improving things.

Finally, that evening you came full circle back to the parents' house, who you learned were shoemakers, & the mother was particularly good in the textile arts. You were delighted, & the village leader told you that a seamstress' circle met every month to share materials, techniques, & village gossip, & he assured you they would be happy to have another member, especially with your expertise. Despite the long day, you felt energized & hopeful as you knocked on the door again.

The parents, Mr. & Mrs. Westfield, guardedly opened the door halfway when they say the mayor was with you. You assured them in so many words that you had not, in fact, enlisted the mayor to help you take their child (whose name you later learned was Justin) away, but rather he was there to help witness & negotiate a fair contract & may we please come in to discuss it more? Cautious but hopeful, they let you in & you saw the boy again. He was in his early teens, when most of the fullness of power began to manifest (& often spiral out of control), & you felt lucky that you had found him before things got worse. The five of you sat down & as you made sure that Justin felt like an equal member of the conversation, they parents visibly relaxed & began to open up. You immediately saw that you had made a good choice, the boy Justin was by no means a wanderer like yourself, & that he would be in fact very necessary to carrying on the parents' legacy. You already had some ideas brewing about mixing magic with textiles, which was of course a very ancient & venerable tradition, & you knew you could put some new & interesting spins on it (no pun intended).

After pleasantries were exchanged, you happily explained to the parents that you had found & purchased a nice house at the edge of town, & would they be interested in sending Justin there for a 4-6 hours of schooling each day, minus the weekends? You would, of course, come back with him to help with their work in exchange as long as you had no ongoing jobs with the village, & of course Justin's schooling would focus mostly on practical wizardry that would help him be better at his work. The parents attitudes turned from cautious to delighted, & Justin himself was very curious & excited. The village leader helped draw up a contract, & you made sure all parties gave it a thorough read & that it was in plain language, & you signed it with the usual binding magic that was tradition in apprenticeships. You told Justin that schooling would start next week & asked him if he could read, & he just about jumped for joy & said yes, he had learned his letters some time ago & often begged his parents for books from the wandering traders that passed through. You gave him a copy of Basic Principles of Practical Magic & made him promise to try & get through the first chapter or two before you started with him, & he practically ran away to start reading. His parents shook hands & thanked you profusely for arranging everything in such a beneficial way for them. The mayor bid his farewell & passed through the door, & as you about to join him, the father asked to pull you aside. You raised an eyebrow but said certainly, what was it? Tentatively, he asked, "Madame Wizard, why this arrangement in particular? In all my years, I've never heard of a mage apprenticing like this unless they already lived in a village."

You gave him a wry smile & told him that your reasons were threefold. First, the village clearly needed a magic-worker, especially if it was to make it through the hard times. Second, you had begun to grow just plain bored of wandering & decided to settle down for a while, & you were one of the near-immortal witches, so it would be just fine for you to go wandering again in a few generations if you felt the village was doing well.

"And finally," you smiled & leaned closer to whisper, "I could see how much you love him. And I would not take that away from you, not even if I thought he could turn out be the most powerful wizard." The mother broke down sobbing, & you could see a few tears glisten in the father's eyes as you turned around & left the happy couple to start moving into your new home.

\\This was super fun to write!! I've never tried second person before, and I think I did a pretty good job with that rambly, ADHD style that wizards and witches seem to have, in addition to some of that style from my favorite magic authors. I also auto-hyphenated & justified for that old-fashioned touch. I hope it didn't feel too sappy. Actually wait, I don't care, I love sappy endings :>

Love, Emi

You are a traveling wizard set out to find your next apprentice. One day you find a young child who is gifted with magic, but instead of taking them away from their family like everyone expects, you settle down in the tiny village to train them.
