Principles and Laws of Magic for Fantasy Writers

Fundamental Laws

1. Law of Conservation of Magic- Magic cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

3. Law of Equivalent Exchange- To gain something, an equal value must be given.

5. Law of Magical Exhaustion- Using magic drains the user’s energy or life force.

Interaction and Interference

4. Law of Magical Interference- Magic can interfere with other magical effects.

6. Law of Magical Contamination- Magic can have unintended side effects.

8. Law of Magical Inertia- Magical effects continue until stopped by an equal or greater force.

Resonance and Conditions

7. Law of Magical Resonance- Magic resonates with certain materials, places, or times.

9. Law of Magical Secrecy- Magic must be kept secret from the non-magical world.

11. Law of Magical Hierarchy- Different types of magic have different levels of power and difficulty.

Balance and Consequences

10. Law of Magical Balance- Every positive magical effect has a negative consequence.

12. Law of Magical Limitation- Magic has limits and cannot solve every problem.

14. Law of Magical Rebound- Misused magic can backfire on the user.

Special Conditions

13. Law of Magical Conduits- Certain objects or beings can channel magic more effectively.

15. Law of Magical Cycles- Magic may be stronger or weaker depending on cycles (e.g., lunar phases).

17. Law of Magical Awareness- Some beings are more attuned to magic and can sense its presence.

Ethical and Moral Laws

16. Law of Magical Ethics- Magic should be used responsibly and ethically.

18. Law of Magical Consent- Magic should not be used on others without their consent.

20. Law of Magical Oaths- Magical promises or oaths are binding and have severe consequences if broken.

Advanced and Rare Laws

19. Law of Magical Evolution- Magic can evolve and change over time.

20. Law of Magical Singularities- Unique, one-of-a-kind magical phenomena exist and are unpredictable.

Unique and Imaginative Magical Laws

- Law of Temporal Magic- Magic can manipulate time, but with severe consequences. Altering the past can create paradoxes, and using time magic ages the caster rapidly.

- Law of Emotional Resonance- Magic is amplified or diminished by the caster’s emotions. Strong emotions like love or anger can make spells more powerful but harder to control.

- Law of Elemental Harmony- Magic is tied to natural elements (fire, water, earth, air). Using one element excessively can disrupt the balance and cause natural disasters.

- Law of Dream Magic- Magic can be accessed through dreams. Dreamwalkers can enter others’ dreams, but they risk getting trapped in the dream world.

- Law of Ancestral Magic- Magic is inherited through bloodlines. The strength and type of magic depend on the caster’s ancestry, and ancient family feuds can influence magical abilities.

- Law of Symbiotic Magic- Magic requires a symbiotic relationship with magical creatures. The caster and creature share power, but harming one affects the other.

- Law of Forgotten Magic- Ancient spells and rituals are lost to time. Discovering and using forgotten magic can yield great power but also unknown dangers.

- Law of Magical Echoes- Spells leave behind echoes that can be sensed or traced. Powerful spells create stronger echoes that linger longer.

- Law of Arcane Geometry- Magic follows geometric patterns. Spells must be cast within specific shapes or alignments to work correctly.

- Law of Celestial Magic- Magic is influenced by celestial bodies. Spells are stronger during certain astronomical events like eclipses or planetary alignments.

- Law of Sentient Magic- Magic has a will of its own. It can choose to aid or hinder the caster based on its own mysterious motives.

- Law of Shadow Magic- Magic can manipulate shadows and darkness. Shadowcasters can travel through shadows but are vulnerable to light.

- Law of Sympathetic Magic- Magic works through connections. A spell cast on a representation of a person (like a doll or portrait) affects the actual person.

- Law of Magical Artifacts- Certain objects hold immense magical power. These artifacts can only be used by those deemed worthy or who possess specific traits.

- Law of Arcane Paradoxes- Some spells create paradoxes that defy logic. These paradoxes can have unpredictable and often dangerous outcomes.

- Law of Elemental Fusion- Combining different elemental magics creates new, hybrid spells with unique properties and effects.

- Law of Ethereal Magic- Magic can interact with the spirit world. Ethereal mages can communicate with spirits, but prolonged contact can blur the line between life and death.

- Law of Arcane Symbiosis- Magic can bond with technology, creating magical machines or enchanted devices with extraordinary capabilities.

- Law of Dimensional Magic- Magic can open portals to other dimensions. Dimensional travelers can explore alternate realities but risk getting lost or encountering hostile beings.

- Law of Arcane Sacrifice- Powerful spells require a sacrifice, such as a cherished memory, a personal item, or even a part of the caster’s soul.

Last night my brain decided to make me think HARD about Warlock and Wiggles, the little were-rat boy.😭💖

I think there’s a lot of untapped potential here! A half mad but kind warlock, befriending a scrappy little street urchin with a curse?!

Delicious, give me 12 more!🧐

Snapshot - Pt. 1

Hello. I am in love with Yuzuya's KRBK fantasy series and I just have to do something about my love for it. I will be starting a series where I write little fics that take place between each episode of the Fantasy Series. There will be fluff, angst, some gore/violence, and nsfw moments that will (to the best of my ability) fall in line with the events and relationships established within the story. I will be taking some liberties with how Traveler/you, Kirishima, and Bakugou is dressed, will react, will say, etc. This is all from my imagination and my interpretation of the story.

content: takes place between Ep.1 and Ep.2, angst, crying, nightmare sequence, internal narration, profanity, mentions of drugs (no usage), mentions of death (hypothetical), Traveler/reader is homesick and scared, gn!reader.

Next part

You open your eyes and you're back home. Your normal, ordinary, not at all supernatural life. No dragons, no cape-wearing barbarians, and certainly no glowing gems that transport you to parallel universes. You are at campus, just finished your language arts course and heading to the math and science building for your lame ass statistics class. You're studying ancient history, why the hell do you need statistics, do you ask? Who the hell knows, just that it was required for you to graduate.

You trek the familiar path to the worn brick structure, its height more imposing than usual. Hmm, it only has three floors but why does it look like there are seven? You shake your head and adjust your book bag, thinking you must have not slept well to be hallucinating things. You look around and notice that the flowers that usually blanket the courtyard are looking quite... subdued. The color of the petals dipped in greywash, not nearly as vibrant as they should be.

You look up and note the clouds in the sky. Perhaps the obstructed sunlight is causing the strange coolness to the technicolor of your world. While distracted, an arm wraps around your shoulder and you are pleasantly surprised to see your friend by your side. Wait, did she get out of class early? You smile and greet her, flicking your wrist up to check your watch.

Blood drains from your face when all the numbers are jumbled and clock hands run counterclockwise. What the hell is going on?! You turn to your friend again and rip your body from hers when her face is blank, no facial features to be found. You swear that you saw her joyful smile and crinkled eyes just a second ago. Her nonexistent eye sockets bore into you and you scream, hands clutching your hair in terror and confusion. Why is this happening?

You whip your head around to check your surroundings again and you drop to your knees in resignation. All other students are faceless, even the landscaper you normally greet on Tuesday mornings is also a blank canvas. Why are you forgetting what they look like? What they sound like? How your life felt to you?

A black hole opens under your crumpled form and you succumb to the inky blackness. Is this dying? Is this what death brings? Your last happy moments wiped clean like blood from a porcelain sink and you are left with a gaping hole in your chest. You can't breathe, the void closes in. You can't breathe, the oppressive darkness choking you. You can't breathe, the absence of light and warmth chilling you to your soul. You can't breath, can't breathe, can't breathe...

Your eyes fly open and you heave, hand on your chest in fear. Your heart beats wildly under your sternum and blood rushes in your ears, sympathetic nervous system sending jumbled signals to your muscles.

That's right...you're not at home anymore. Haven't been for the last few hours now. The cool night breeze dries the cold sweat on your temple and ruffles your shirt. Your heart slows and breaths even, pupils dilating to allow in the sliver of moonlight. It's in the waxing phase, a new moon coming soon assuming the moon here works the same as back home.

You look to the sky and feel even more alone. No familiar constellations are seen, no North Star to gain your bearings. You are truly out of your depth here, an alien in a place that is so similar and yet so absurd, you must be on some strong fuckin' drugs.

Your throat tightens and you bite your tongue, distracting the hoarse cry begging to break through with the pain. No more crying, you already did enough of that when you were brought to this camp. The dragon shifter laying next to you, Kirishima, purrs lowly like a content cat. His arm and wing cover your body, his chest pressing against your shoulder. You must have flipped to your back at some point during your nightmare. You turn your head to look at him, and you are still in awe.

You never would have thought you would be transported to a world that inhabits all the fantasy creatures you've read about. His looks as a dragon shifter are not what you imagined but it's not like those authors had anything to base it off. His red horns swoop back from his forehead and the scales that litter his cheeks, neck, and shoulders glitter in the silver night glow.

You had noticed earlier, when you awoke in that field, that all his teeth were sharp and serrated, a bit of a terrifying sight to be honest. His body radiates heat, a furnace in the shape, mostly, of a human. You welcome the warmth from him, the gentle wind actually cool tonight. His wing, leathery and large, almost cradles you into him. The talon at the next connecting joint is just past your opposite shoulder. He took care that the sharp end would not hurt you when he first draped it over you. The scales on his wings are different from the ones that dot his skin, they're completely different textures. You have half a mind to touch them but think better of it. He's not a toy for you to poke and prod, he's a person...sort of.

You tear your gaze away from the kind stranger and look across from you, view partially obscured by the extinguished fire pit. There lays Bakugou, the brash barbarian who made it clear that your existence doesn't matter to him and in fact, is a hindrance to his journey. He damn near beheaded you when Kirishima carried you back. You'll have to thank Kirishima, practically owing your life to the half-man if it weren't for his placating words.

Without realizing, you're scowling at the blond, jaw clenching tightly. Who the fuck does he think he is? You're hurt, lost, and quite possible high out of your mind if you've conjured up such a wild universe. You're confident you're not tripping balls but how else can everything be explained?! You just hope that when he wakes he won't be such an asshole to you. Is it likely? No, but you can dream. He's even an asshole to his companion and you wonder just how in the fuck Kirishima hasn't torn the guy's head off or straight up made him burnt toast.

You huff and relax your face. There's no use getting worked up over something that hasn't happened. Tomorrow's worries are enough, don't backpack more onto your shoulders. You ponder how the morning will go. Will they give you something to eat? Will Bakugou decide you're not worth the trouble and leave you to be eaten by wild animals? Maybe he'll be merciful and give you a quick death, sword to the heart. Kirishima seems pretty intent on getting you help but the barbarian is in charge here, that much you are sure of.

You sigh and turn to your side, facing the fire pit and giving the dragon your back. You must admit, sleeping outside is not as bad as it seems but you do miss your plushies. You curl your arms into your chest but it's not the same. The body behind you shifts and you freeze. Still off in dreamland, Kirishima brings his arm around you tighter, wing completely encasing you. His forearm wiggles its way to your chest and his loose fist rests right under your chin. What the fuck? How the fuck did his arm nuzzle its way to your body like you would hold your plushie?

That familiar sting arrives at your eyes and you press your lips together. God, no more crying, you already decided that but the tender, unconscious action just brings you more grief. You hug his arm to you and let the tears fall.

God, you miss home. You want to go home.

a.n. I'm super excited to start this series with you guys!! I really enjoy the fantasy series and hope these additions bring a bit more depth to the main events. I was inspired by a similar concept I read on AO3 and knew I had to do my own. not too sure if there will be an upload schedule for this series but keep an eye out for updates! thanks!
