Magical Combat IRL

Today we will go over how to do magical combat in real life, using techniques outlined in the anime "Love Chunibyo and other Delusions". ───── ⋆⋅♛⋅⋆ ─────

This Strategy uses some elements that are similar to how we Bilocate into areas designated for magical combat, but we will cover that in a future post.

First, It's important to know most magical creatures and skilled combatants don't allow outsiders to view their magic. since ancient times, magic has been persecuted, and the spirits remember. so you have to learn how to get in the mindset to be able to view such combat.

In "Love Chunibyo, and Other Delusions", (for which which we will use the fan abbreviation "Chuu2" from now on,) Rikka Takanashi, the Eye of the Wicked Lord, triggers her ability to engage in magical combat with a trigger phrase, similar to a mantra. she says, "Reality rejected, synapses shattered, be banished from this world" (dub). this allows her to begin to see and engage with the magical world. Your eyes and mind must be focused on the Magical Reality beyond our own despite moving your body physically. sometimes, some spiritual entities bay only exist beyond normal sight. if you want to fight them, you have to be able to see them. It's often a good strategy to pick some phrase or action (like pulling out your magical weapon, or having your transformation sequence) to help trigger this mental shift. Now, how will you know if it's worked? you will be able to see the magic being cast, or spirits present. or in some cases with a weaker connection, it will look like vividly imagining it, but you can still also see actual reality too. this works just as well, as long as you're careful not to drop the connection. Here is a clip from the anime, demonstrating a battle between two magic practitioners. For non-believers, the result is often an appearance of delusion. This is why we (us as a person, Rania) reclaim the term Chuunibyou. From this state, you will be able to battle like you would in the astral with beings residing in the physical world. be careful, however, as your physical body can be at more risk in this state. some attacks can be sustained physically, especially when fighting other practitioners. it's good to spar like this with allies often to build your ability to connect well, and also to build resistance.

Often, it's important to call out attacks when sparring or battling. this may seem counter-intuitive, but there is a reason for it. Naming your attacks allows you and your battle partner to both envision everything correctively, allowing you to mutually build your connection to the world beyond ours. clarity is essential for keeping invested in the battle. ───── ⋆⋅♛⋅⋆ ─────

Next post, we will discuss Magical Other-worlds constructed for battle, Such as Mind Palaces, Digiphysical Spaces, and Witch Labyrinths like in Madoka Magica. Until then, Ciao loyal subjects of Darkness!

TIPS FOR SECRET CHUUNI

though chuunibyou is usually about being expressive about your secret powers and backstory, some might have strict parents, have to hide their identity or just be shy!

seals

to seal magic, most wear bandages or eyepatches, but those are totally out of place in a normal school!

instead you could use

a bracelet

a pendant

a belt charm

a hairclip

waistbeads

these are more common items that people most likely wont question!

names

as a powerful being, you might want to be addressed by your correct title, right?

well, thats almost impossible in a place full of teachers and normies!

instead,

make kandi/charms that have your title on them and wear them so that other chuuni’s can identify you!

Backstory

simply hint at your backstory, and bring up more of the “believable” parts sometimes in convos

thats all for now!

have fun everynyan!

Defeated my first witch last night! 🤍

Quite the terrifying experience, but hopefully I'll make a more in depth post about my first experience in a labyrinth!

CHUUNI REMINDER

My beloved chuunis, please remember to replenish your stats often - mana, health, and stamina are all needed for efficient and successful battle!

Eat good food, and stay hydrated! Water is the most replenishing, but sometimes you want something that will soothe your sanity.. and that's also important!

On a side note, I've been rewatching Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai (Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions) and it's reminded me I need to get back into practicing my magic..

May the Moon light your way 🌙✨️

A Field Report From A Temporal Menace

The 4:17 AM Gap isn't exactly a wobble or glitch, it's more of a wound. A thin cut in the night where the universe itself seems to forget all about time, stalling like an overworked NPC instead of continuing normally. This only lasts for that one fateful minute, however, so you must make the best of it!

At exactly 4:17 AM (local planetary cycle), the timeline stutters. Not for everyone, of course, just those who are awake, alert, and at least a little bit unhinged. Does that sound like you? Perfect!

You might feel like someone's pressed paused on you, shadows might go still, your heartbeat might speed up or slow down, etc. If you notice something abnormal, there's your chance!

During the Gap, your past, present, and future self align like someone made a weird Venn diagram. You can talk to them, borrow from them, steal from them, or really anything. Reality can't punish you during this time, it simply rolls its little eyes and pretends it didn't see anything.

Use the following rituals wisely! Or don't. Meraki's not your timeline babysitter.

VERSION ONE

For the chuunibyous who need to tone it down a bit!

Prepare your 'anchor.' This is something that represents either the past or the future you, specifically the version you'd like to talk to! It could be something as mundane as a pen you fidget with or something as meaningful as your childhood stuffed animal.

Stay awake until 4:16 AM. You need to be alert, so it's ideal that you wait naturally instead of setting an alarm. Keep screens off and find somewhere quiet to sit with the anchor in your lap. Keep one hand on it at all times! This is what grounds you in this timeline.

Wait for the Gap to open! It's not dramatic, but trust ae, you'll know. This is your cue.

Ask your question! It has to be said out loud so as to not get mixed up with other thoughts, but worry not, just a whisper is alright! It should be short, honest, and to the point. Vagueness will likely be ignored.

You won't hear a literal voice, but rather a thought that isn't yours. It won't feel foreign, don't worry about it scaring you! That's the version of you from somewhere along the timeline, the one you wanted to connect with. It should be a brief answer, hopefully not too vague! If it is, just try your best to decipher it.

Now it's time to close the ritual! Tap the anchor against your knee three times, then set it somewhere safe. Not on a pedestal, just somewhere you know you won't lose it.

VERSION TWO

For the dramatic chuunibyous!

Acquire your 'anchor!' Unlike Version One, it shouldn't be something mundane, but rather something connected to your magical self. A useless key, your power-seal, anything dramatic enough to make you feel like an overpowered anime character. Carry it with you for an hour prior to the ritual to sync it with your aura.

At 4:16, sit somewhere dramatic. A window sill, a rooftop, an abandoned bus stop... anywhere of the sort! Or just the edge of your bed. Hold your anchor in your dominant hand.

When the Gap arises at 4:17, rise from your spot and lift your anchor. Strike a pose, feel the universe glaring. This is good, it means you're doing it right!

Say a chant that resonates with you, clear and dramatic. For the magical heroes, this could be your transformation activation! For the others, I'd recommend coming up with this prior to the ritual. Your other selves will hear you across all timelines.

You won't hear a voice. Instead, it'll be like the Gap dropped something into your mind. It could be a memory you haven't lived yet, a warning you don't understand, the knowledge of an upcoming choice, etc.

Interpret it! It might take days, you might understand it immediately, but whichever it is, it's always part of the fun (or danger) to see it come true!

To seal the ritual, clench your anchor and tap it against your heart once. This is like the equivalent of saving your game with the rift. If you don't, it might be watching you for the next few nights.

Remember to exploit reality safely! Have a lovely day, students of time, and remember you're loved!
