Cool idea to use in fantasy settings idk if anyone's used before but I just heard the word sparrow and thoughts of it

Enchanted arrows in shapes of actual birds. Instead of shooting one from a bow you send the bird out and it flies over to the target like a normal bird. The target it confused by a literal bird of course, before the bird lands on wherever it needs to hit and turns back to an arrow stabbing the exact same place they landed. It's inconspicuous, it's jarring to the target, uses confusion and catches them with their guard down because it's a bird not a weapon

I can def see some Fae fold using smth like that during hunts especially with their trickery stuff. Or maybe elves, only bc they're known for archery. All of this thought of because sparrow sounds like spare arrow and I went oooooh cool when I heard it 30 seconds ago in a random video

Magic is the blood of the soul. Some people have magical iron deficiency, others have magic leukemia. There are different kinds of magic, different types.

Tears are the blood of the soul. When a soul bleeds, the person cries.

Tears are magic. Shed in sorrow, shed in pain, shed in grief, anger, hatred, sadness, fear, or in love, happiness, surprise, acceptation, hope.

Magic can be liquid. It falls to the ground, giving birth to flowers with unique properties. Bladepetal that gives strength and soothes pain grows from tears of warriors. Mementoia grows from the tears of mothers grieving their children. Aladus grows from tears of disbelief of being loved.

Magic can be solid. Dried tears turned to salt, they can make metal glossy and channeling pure emotion, unlocking abilities when attuned to the right feeling.

Magic can be gas. We can smell the world the way it was when we cried and remember things we have forgotten. Evaporated tears are in the air everywhere, carrying memories in them, and not everyone can feel the scent, not everyone can look into the past of others.

You can bleed your soul to death by crying so much it dies.

Magic is the blood of the soul. Blood of the soul is tears. Tears are magic.

And I haven't cried in a long, long time. And everyday, I wonder if my soul is dead.

First Draft on Major Magic Types and Magic Sub-classes

Within the world of Seasonal Decay there are five Major Magic Types, every character within the world has one or more type depending on race.

These classes and their sub-classifications are as follows:

Divine Magic with its sub-classes being in order Contract, Detection, Divination, Healing and Warding.

People who have Divine Magic can harness one of the sub-classes. Whether it is predicting and/or manipulating future outcomes, restoring vitality or guarding people and objects from corruption, Divine Magic is the most highly respected Magic type in the world of Seasonal Decay. However, it is in only 12% of bloodlines.

Elemental Magic with its sub-classes in order are Alchemy, Destruction, Elements, Luck and Survival.

Elemental Magic encompasses magic pertaining to the aspects of the natural world. Such as the basics like Fire, Earth, Water and Air, to far more complex aspects such as manipulation of chance, fortune and survivability. This magic type is the most common with a 54% chance.

Infernal Magic and its sub-classes in order are Banishment, Concealment, Curse and Necro.

This is the rarest Magic Type with only an 8% chance of showing up in a bloodline. That and its less then pleasant nature give users of Infernal Magic a bad reputation. Not much is known about all uses of this magic, or if they are well known they are not shared outside of those who hold this Magic Type.

Mental Magic and its sub-classes in order are Communication, Control, Dream, and Illusion.

People with Mental Magic range from being able to relay messages through vast distances, walk through the minds of others in sleep, create imagery that isn't there and control the thoughts of others. Though some have suggested that Control Magic could branch off into it's own sub-sections, but further research is needed. This type only has a 10% chance of appearing.

Lastly is Physical Magic and it's sub-classes which are Altercation, Defense, Enhancement, Sensory and Transformation.

The second most common magic type with 16%, Physical Magic pertains to the ability to create shields and barriers, temporarily disguises, permanent changes of the flesh and heightening senses and attributes.

Different Races Extended Part 1

Morcoves are often described in the west as "sentient livestock" a crude and harmful nickname created by men. Morcoves are said to be children of the God of animal husbandry.

Shiftlings are often known for their mischievous history often impersonating important people. Because of this history, and their appearance they often ostracized labeled with the name "ones born of darkness" leading to Shiftling almost never revealing their true forms.

Despite damning rumors, it is said Shitlings were men altered by the Great Change cursed to forever shift forms thanks to the god of Magic.

Ailus can speak in many tongues and have a way with words. Their own language is spoken not with words but through the movements of their antennae making it hard to translate. The name of the race in their own language roughly translates to "from the body of Eatris" which offended the race of men in the distant past and led to strife.

Nowadays Ailus only speak in common tongue unless they are around their own species.

It is said the first Ailus were born from flowers after the great change, though their mating practices are largely still a mystery.

Amphomos are a benevolent race. Each set of their main eyes are adapted with films that protect the soft tissue of the eye from boiling temperatures or from freezing over. The eye set in the center of the skull is used for perception and is said to have the ability of foresight.

As children only one set of eyes are open and as they age the rest of the eyes develop and slowly open.
