*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Magic System Ideas
Magic is an inherent part of our fantasy novels, and often the most attractiv piece of setting.
Here's a list of different types of magic systems you may
01. ♫ Music-Based Magic
an ancient song of summoning or a pied-piper type of hypnosis.
What if inanimate objects were a part of the musical process? Beyond just magical instruments, how do the surroundings, the acoustics, and the environment react to the music and the magic?
Does musical magic require years of study and practice? Or does it require natural talent? If only some songs are magical, how does that affect the world’s perception of musicians?
Just like music is often played with multiple instruments, in what ways could your magic be enhanced by a larger group or a specific number of musicians, such as a quartet? What if magical beings were needed to join in before the magic worked?
If a magical creature reacts aggressively to magical music when it hears it, how does that change your system?
02. 🎭 Culture-Base Magic
Magic is derived from culture.
How does the history of magic impact your user?
How is the cultural knowledge of magic passed down across generations?
Does it rquired cultural experiences, such as a pilgrimage?
How does this "magical culture system" interact with the government, religion or education?
If cultural norms are broken, how does it affect your magic?
Is a community of people required fr the magic to work?
03. 🎨 Art-Based Magic
If only some art is magical, what makes it magical? What happens to non-magical art and non-magical artists?
Does your magic require extremely specific forms of art or a specific medium?
If your magic requires a work of art, how does that art come to be? Who has access to it?
What if your hero is a starving artist?
What would a magical art museum be like? What would people be experiencing in such a place?
04. ⏳ Time-Based Magic
If you could create fire, but for only one minute a day and only at the same time every day, how would you use that ability? Now apply that to your magic system.
If a magical ability or magical energy is strongest at a specific time, what happens to the use of that ability?
If you cast a spell that only takes effect in 24 hours, how much planning would your character have to do to make sure that the spell was successful?
What if your magic system changed with age or changed over time?
05. 👗 Fashion-Based Magic
If your mage has to be well dressed for their magic to work, what happens if they have to use a spell inconspicuously?
If access to fashion is restricted, how does that affect your world and your magic?
If your main character has no sense of fashion, how does that change the way they interact with a fashion-obsessed world?
What spell effect would cause someone to change the way they are dressed?
If it is always visually obvious who is capable of which spells, how does that change magical conflicts?
06. ⚔️ Weapon-Based Magic
Legend-born magical swords, chakras and tridents: Excaliber, Riptide, etc.
Is there a condition for the user to become the "true owner" of the weapon/tool?
Does the magical weapon have it own "consciousness"?
Is there a cost for someone to claim the magcial weapon?
07. ⚗️ Science-Based Magic
Where magic must be theoretically researched and experimented in order to be developed.
Who is allowed to experiment with new, dangerou magic?
What facilities are required to development new magic spells/substances?
Are there different types of magic? If yes, how are they different from each other?
Is there an institution that professionally carried out magical research?
08. 🌑 Substance-Based Magic
Potions and magical foods, plasma, or pills.
Are there any consequences of intaking too much or too little?
Does the substance need to be stored/ingested in a particular way?
09. 🤝 Relationship-Based Magic
Where lovers, soul-bounded friends, families can wield speical magic.
Is there a bonding ritual for the magical power to be bestowed?
Do the people in this relationship have to be together for the power to work?
What happens to the other when one party dies?
Is there a way for this "relationship" to be reversed?
10. 🙏 Religion-Based Magic
This is where the gods grants magical powers based on a character's faith.
If gods grant powers, but they have been forgotten, what happens? What do the gods do?
How can multiple religions interact with the same magic system? How does this affect the ways your people use the magic and whatconflicts can arise from these differences?
Instead of the typical “forces of evil versus forces of light” trope, how could your religious magic system have contrast? What other forces and conflicts could be built around the religious system?
Combine your magic systems! That makes them that much more interesting :)

dervampireprince’s masterlist
no one asked for this but i thought it might be helpful. ‘listener’ means gender neutral m4a, if it’s gender specific it will say something like ‘female listener’ ‘non-binary listener’ etc. this post will be edited when i upload new works, if you reblog a version the reblog does not get updated when this original post does.
gender tags are copied from what is commonly used on r/gonewildaudio on reddit for ease. please note that irl man (m) and trans man (tm) aren’t different things, but that’s how audios are tagged commonly online rather than as cis man (cm) and trans man (tm): m4a (male4all / male4anyone), m4f (male4female), tm4m (trans-male4male), m4nb (male4nonbinary), m4gf (male for genderfluid), tm4tf (transmale4transfemale). if something as labeled as M it means the character can be interpreated as a cis or trans man and TM means the character is explicity trans by either discussing being trans or not having bottom surgery (which is not something anyone needs in order to be trans).

♫ AUDIOS ♫

✎ WRITING ✐
i don’t use many specific tags to separate my writing out so
all my writing, mostly non-fandom writing and just general nsft writing i mostly write royalty kink, monster fucking, fairy tale erotica, praise kink, softer kink stuff, trans content, mlm, t4t, nblm, non specific gendered content
some popular royalty kink dynamics i’ve written are ‘prince x king’ ‘prince x knight’ ‘prince x servant’ (though be aware these tags contain both original and reblogged content but it’s mostly original)
