I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

the-punforgiven

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

Animals do use magic. Those animals are called dragons, unicorns, gryphons, etc

People get mad that Christians find Christian messages in secular work and I'm just like... if you didn't want us associating the story with the truth, you shouldn't have made the message so true.

thepartyponies

They made the mistake of trying to make a secular work in a Christian universe

Merry Christmas! Have a piece of worldbuilding from my fantasy world.

It’s easy to lose hope, in the deep dark of winter. The night is long, the day is short, and the bitter cold sinks deep into your bones.

Well, the October story was Supposed to be done for, y'know, October. But then I got busy with stuff and, well.

I'm going to try and get that finished and released soon.

I did manage to finish the cover art for that, so I'll update previous chapters with it and use it as a cover moving forward.

Sorry :[
