#WIPSnips Feb 20th - Corner

I don't know what to say about this one so. Enjoy an elegant elf woman wiping drool from her mouth 🤷‍♀️

When magic became something that could be taken instead of gifted, the balance shattered. Prejudice turned to fear. Fear turned to ambition.

The Void is not just the darkness that consumed the world and dethroned the Elven Empire. It is the consequence of a culture built on magical hierarchy ✨

#Febchantment

In Aelthyr, magic was never neutral. It determined who ruled.

Elves, naturally attuned to the arcane, saw it as divine inheritance — proof they were chosen.

Humans saw it as something else... A barrier. A weapon. Power withheld.

#WIPSnips for Feb 19 — changing subtle to faint

Enjoy this description of the bringer of first light's deuteragonist Lucien!

While human sorcerers exist, their power is unruly and hard to control due to the unpredictability of the artifacts. 3/3

Wood Elves are mostly druidic and use nature magic.

Unlike Elves, humans are not naturally imbued with magical powers. In order to use magic, humans, dwarves and other nonmagical creatures must posses a magical artifact and learn to control the flow of power through said item. 2/3

#febchantment Day 15

In the world of Aelthyr, magic as we know it is only used by elves. There are 3 prominent clans: The Sun, Moon, and Wood Elves. Sun elves have an affinity for light manipulation & healing. Moon Elves specialize in water manipulation and the arcane. 1/3

A little Bringer of First Light lore drop for today's #WIPSnips containing the word "never."

Thank you! 🩷

“It is all my fault, is it not?” Her voice was but a whisper, her own breath barely tickling the inside of her dry lips. Though her father had long since left this plane, for a moment, she thought she could hear his mystical voice tickling the tips of her ears. You should have taken your devotions more seriously. The very thought plunged a sharp dagger into her heart. She curled into herself and gripped at her breast, but the plate blocked her path. It weighed down on her sternum, its sharp edges stabbing into her lungs. Pushing herself off the hibernation chamber, she started to loosen the straps holding the armor in place, but before she could remove it, the radiant glint of Father’s Sunstone caught her eye, freezing her in place.

2/13 #WipSnips: Serious

Turning defense into protect for today's #WIPSnips

This is an excerpt from my current dark fantasy wip Bringer of First Light!

Hops likes to be involved in the writing process. At this point, I'm gonna have to credit him as co-author

While magic is a main plot point of my wip, it's rare. In this world, magic is illegal & few can aptly wield it. Those who do, pay a price, exhausting both body and mind

Also, there's a rather unsavory method for nulifying magic. To keep things fair, ofc!
