Hey, Witch Hat Atelier fans... I uh... Made a spell for my brim hat OC...

It's a spell to cure blindness! The idea is that the ring-like gliphs are supposed to negate the physical disability and allow for sight, the smaller circles with eyes are to stabilize the sight so it would be normal. The clock arm like sigils are to represent direction. The spell needs to be drawn either small on top of each eye or large on the forehead. Hence being a forbidden spell!

Forbidden Spell: The Wound Binding Bandage

Today, I wanted to share with all of you a new spell of mine, the wound binding bandage. This forbidden spell -which is to be drawn on bandages- is intended for first-aid, stabilizing and protecting sharp-force injuries (punctures, slashes, and stab wounds) until doctors can arrive to administer proper treatment.

The spell consists of three parts; the inner [sealing] glyph (blue), the outer [binding] glyph (red), and the satellite [drying] glyphs (green).

The central [sealing] glyph is the most important part of the spell, sealing the wound to quickly halt bleeding. Pull signs tug both sides of the wound back into place while the binding sign and inverted cut spell seal the wound shut. To allow the spell to seal even the deepest of wounds, claw signs are placed around the outer [binding] glyph, allowing the [sealing] glyph to reach deep into the body.

Next, the outer [binding] glyph consists of only two signs, a strengthening sign that reinforces the bandage and a winding sign that makes the bandage automatically wrap around the wound. This automatic wrapping lets the bandage be administered almost instantly, saving precious time - time that could decide between life and death.

Lastly, the satellite [drying] spells dry out the bandage (and any blood that comes in contact with it) without drying out the wound. This helps to accelerate clotting and slow blood loss while allowing the wound to stay moist and heal.

While magic used on the body can be dangerous, by taking the proper precautions, these risks can be eliminated. In the case of this spell, these precautions involve simply sealing the ink with a waterproof resin or lacquer to prevent the woodcuror from coming into contact with blood. Gauze should then be secured below the sealed portion of the bandage to prevent uncomfortable rubbing with the hardened surface.

While not a suitable replacement for proper medical treatment, the wound binding bandage has massive potential to save lives in emergency scenarios. Magic is intended to make lives better, after all. What kind of witch would I be if I didn’t lend a helping hand to those in need?

Who created the most forbidden spell? The answer might surprise you.

Forbidden spells! Love them or hate them, they occupy a central place in wizard politics. From Ketamine Ape to Instant Dehydration, their effect and their power made the Council create new legislation. But who made them? And which one is the most forbidden, with the most damning legal consequences?

First of all, it is important to know that when they make a spell forbidden, the Council tries to find the creator of the spell, and strikes a deal with them. In exchange for complete anonymity, and a generous sum of gold, the spellsmith vows to never share the formula, and to destroy all existing documents related to it. This makes finding them complicated, but sometimes, they refuse the offer. For exemple, Doliprane, the creator of Baguettify Bones, was "disposed of" by Council member Liriam himself, as most wizards know, in the controversial duel of 1989.

What people generally don't know, is that authorized and forbidden spells are not the only categories in the Council's archives. One spell is considered worse than forbidden. There are no laws around it, as it is a state secret, and the formula, as well as most mentions of it, have been purged from Council record. This is the Apollyon-class spell.

Thankfully, an anonymous source has given us access to some of the archived documents, allowing us to know what the spell is, and most importantly its creator.

The Apollyon-class spell was allegedely created thrity years ago, to get rid of the warlock Arsæne the Crimson, by none other... Than Council member Serioth himself. Usually, the use of such a spell is considered treason, but Serioth used his Council immunity, dodging all charges, and still has a seat there to this day, which begs several questions. When will the Council act? Are they ever going to? And most importantly...

Who can stop Serioth from casting Banish to Twitter again ?

Alright, who wants to hear about a kind of dark Trollan-related thought that’s been running through my mind the past several weeks?

Nobody? Too bad, I’m talking about this anyway. 

(Okay, so I had a post about this earlier, but I thought about it some more and decided it should be reworded, so the original’s gone now. Hey, got nothing to lose, the thing didn’t have notes anyway.)

My view on Trollans are that they’re generally kind-hearted, whimsical people that are very deep in their magic-related beliefs, sort of a middle ground between the goofiness of the ‘83 versions and those mysterious, god-like Overlords from Classics. Despite them being generally good, well, like just about everything, there are dark elements that slip through the cracks, and in a magical society, there’s bound to be spells and curses that are forbidden for any Trollan to use.

I came up with one based on how Trollans view their faces as private and sacred things that should never be shown to anyone save their true love...

The Trollan Face Snatching Spell.

Basically, it’s when a Trollan steals your face.

That’s already horrific in of itself (if you’ve watched Avatar: The Last Airbender... well, you remember Koh the Face Stealer), but to a Trollan it’s beyond horrific--it’s violating, it’s blasphemous! Only a complete monster would use such a spell!

If the facelessness wasn’t enough, victims of the spell tend to end up as soulless puppets controlled by the caster of the spell. The body may be alive, but that person is dead. Oftentimes, since the face is destroyed after removal and cannot be restored, the victims would have to be mercy killed. 

Naturally it’s one of those things where the Overlords and their various councils (i.e. Crimson Council), would shut that information away into some ‘Forbidden Spells’ vault, so that no one may ever use it. Nobody wants a Trollan that would steal the faces of their enemies willy-nilly and end up creating an army of faceless and mindless zombies. 

(Actually that’s just the sort of thing I’d have the Unnamed One do if I was writing a MOTU story, and it’d be the thing that’d keep his minions in line-- “You like your face, don’t you? It’d be such a shame if you lost it.”)

It’d be one of the few spells that Orko would never want to learn. Especially after hearing about the time that Uncle Montork witnessed it in action. 

And thus, that’s my weird thought.
