Help! I drank a potion and it made my tits bigger and milk won't stop coming out of them. I also grew horns and a tail what do I do?!

Thank you for contacting the Department of Monster Affairs. This is not an emergency line. If this is an emergency please contact emergency services.

However, to answer your question first the cause must be determined. You said you drank a potion and the changes occurred. There are potions that can cause bodily changes in individuals. Among these are potions that created to cause lactation in those with mammary glands and even some designed to give animal traits which may result in physical features. All of these potions, if approved by the Federal Potion Administration, are temporary physical corruptions and typically fade after a few hours though can last for a couple of days.

Regulated and approved potions are sold by verified witches, alchemists, and in select stores, all of these sellers must have their FPA verification number listed on their website and the official stamp on their products. If the potion you drank does not have the official stamp it is likely you drank an unregulated potion. The effects of these potions can be wide ranging and they either arrive from across the Veil through smuggling or created by novice witches and alchemists. The majority of unregulated potions are still temporary in nature.

There are some unregulated potions that do include highly corruptive components which may led to permanent changes. Additionally, if you drink a regulated potion and then are exposed to corruptive magic - such as being cursed by a demon - the potion may react leading to permanent physical corruption.

Unfortunately, while researchers are looking for a way to reverse these permanent corruptive changes there is no way to do so yet. If you do find that these symptoms do not revert after 4 days please be aware that they may be permanent. If these changes are permanent you can still live a happy and healthy life, you may wish to look into corrupted human support groups. Please be aware for permanent corruption, you will have to update your government documents to reflect your physically corrupted status.

Thank you for contacting the Department of Monster Affairs. If you have any other questions please contact us again.

I love everything about Titan's Grave. Exact proportions would be nice, though. You've got towns, villages, and storefronts scattered throughout the place. How big are we talking here? Especially since the belly of the beast is someplace only few will travel.

Lumarets? Are these replacing pests or are they just in Titan's Grave?

And wandering mushroomfolk? Are we finally going to to see the Ixalan Mycoids again? I hope we do.

I need a map of Titan's Grave immediately.

MTG LORE FANS, please tell me about (random) characters from mtg stories you're obsessed with/a fan of/you just think they're neat, i'm trying to find the most fun bits of mtg lore

[varlaisvea]

hey this is not elder scrolls related but i didn't know where else to put this

so... i saw some horny art about magic: the gathering characters and now i have a Question about magic: the gathering lore. this is terrible. where is m:tg tumblr. please help me m:tg tunglr

ok so i've been playing magic for like 20 years but i've never been really into the lore. and then i saw some art featuring my mans ajani. horny art. featuring him and kemba. ok?

so like. from what i have (lol) gathered, 'kha' is some manner of royalty/leadership in the leonin tribes. ajani's brother was kha and was also killed, maybe making ajani a ruler? idk. anyway, kemba is frequently referred to as 'kha regent'. '[female royalty] regent' often means the widow and/or mother of [male royalty], right? like a 'queen regent' is usually both the widow of the old king and the mother of the new king. right?

is kemba, then, ajani's sister-in-law, or his mother? or is she some unrelated kha regent? i have always idly wondered this, but then i saw this art and the curiosity became enough to actually bother to look it up, and i couldn't find any real answer to it. essentially, was this horny art also incest art, and is their relationship canon or do furries just think they're both sexy (true)?

thank you magic tumblr <3

My probably not that hot take is that overall MOM and the sets following it vastly undermined any sense of scale or threat to the New Phyrexians.

They supposedly launched a multiverse-spanning invasion but it was canonically wrapped up in a few months (when most conflicts on just earth take years if not decades to resolve) and metatextually in two sets, giving the impression that for all their grand boasting their army crumbled at contact with the slightest bit of resistance.

They supposedly wreaked havoc across the planes, but almost every plane we've visited since has been largely untouched by the Phyrexian invasion, especially at the level of detail on the cards. The planes of Aetherdrift are doing a big race as if nothing happened. Ravnica was too busy doing a murder mystery to notice. On Strixhaven, one (1) professor turned himself into a zombie to avoid compleation but otherwise classes continue as normal. Half or more of the planes visited since weren't even (significantly) attacked by phyrexians — there's no indication I saw on cards that they got to Bloomburrow or Thunder Junction or Duskmourn or the Edge.

Idk it just makes the whole "threat to the multiverse" thing seem like so much hot wind in hindsight. A few beloved characters died or got compleated, most of them got better, the threat crumpled against the slightest fight back and left almost no mark of its passing on the planes like. Ok cool why did we care so much about it then???

Your mystery question is here :)

Magic: What are the beliefs around magic in your world? Are there any holidays or celebrations based on magic?

Yippee!! The beliefs around magic in my original story are similar to our world, except for that magic does exist. It's not known to everyone, though. Those who have it rarely share the knowledge with others, since they just don't believe anyone else will believe them, because like our world, while magic is a concept, it's not (generally) considered real. So out of fear for being mocked, especially by those they love, people with magic just don't talk about it. There aren't any holidays or celebrations based on magic, outside of ones in our world, since it's basically our world but sometimes there's magic objects (kind of a warlock from d&d situation) and i threw in time travel and alternate universes :D thanks so much for the mystery question i love talking about my stories :3

[the-kingshound]

wait couldn’t the hound, in theory, extend their life significantly with their magic? Like with their resiliency and regeneration?

You'd think that, but no. In fact, the opposite happens.

Lore dump

Magic requires energy to be sustained, in the case of battle magic, since it enhances the user and has effect only on them, the energy it requires has to come from the mage. As such, fightings take a lot out of mages, and while they are insanely resistant to damage they often suffer from chronic fatigue and chronic pain after making too much use of their magic.

Magic, not just battle magic, can become stronger if the mage trains. But in the case of battle magic, since it takes so much from the user, it will slowly but surely wear their body down the more they use it. This very often leads to chronic conditions, joint damage/pain (MC's father has to use a cane) that can force the mage to use a wheelchair or to be bedbound (probably what will happen to Adrei in 15-20 years). Ultimately, battle mages tend to have a lower life expectancy due to this.

Slight spoilers for Morgana and her magic

Morgana's magic, contrary to battle magic, works on external elements and as such requires energy from the outside. Her type of magic is sustained by siphoning energy from all that the mage can reach. Plants, animals, even humans.

It doesn't wear down the user, but it can have heavy impacts on their mental stability.

It is said that one of the most powerful mages in existence made an entire forest die in order to summon a storm so powerful it destroyed the enemy's fortress leaving only ruins.
