For my science fantasy WIP, I'm trying to figure out how I want to structure the superpower/metahuman ability system and I'm also curious about what others prefer when it comes to stories like these. 🙂🙂🙂

Do you like the name ‘Auramancer’ as a term to call my mages? Does it sound interesting? 🤔

They’re essentially mages and are capable of performing magic in my universe. If you’ve been following any of my posts lately you’ll see that I’ve been obsessively working out the magic system for one of my WIPs. It’s been a super fun but somewhat frustrating journey! This WIP has honestly changed from a fantasy story set in modern times but has evolved into a science fantasy (which I LOVE reading and writing about. I call it Scifantasy or SciFantasy, hehe).

Anyways, I went from calling my mages ‘mages’ to calling them espers, then auramancers (my favorite term), and now that there’s a huge technology aspect with my magic I’m thinking I can conjure up other name ideas that flow with the theme/setting/overall aesthetic of the story. Magic in this universe is formally called aurana, and the only people who can interact and manipulate aurana are, of course, auramancers.

I love the Auramancers idea and it sounds SO COOL but realistically, I gotta call a spade a spade when I see it. Regardless of what they’re called, they function as the mages in my universe and the name I call them is purely a stylistic choice.

Here are the name ideas, can you please tell me which one you like best? :)

Auramancer (gender neutral)

Auron (male) & Auroness OR Aurora (female)

Aion (male) & Aioness (female)

Aurather (male) & Aurathess (female)

Archon (male) & Archoness (female)

Tbh they all sound pretty cool and flow with the setting of my story. This is also just the term for my WIP’s version of a mage. I have SO many sub-classifications for them depending on what kind of magic they can perform and how they perform it. Do they summon? Heal? Cast illusions? Shift into animals? I’ve been studiously working on it and I can’t wait to share more of my magic system and the magic technology bc I’ve really had such a blast working on it. 💕💕💕

Hello! This is your friendly inquiry to answer this ask with whatever you'd like to talk about right now! Whether that be a story you're working on, something you're excited or worried about, or just something random you happen to know.

All the love,

Thank you so much for the ask, I've been meaning to hop back into my writing (I've been so busy with school lately ugh) and this ask made me go back to my docs and get back into it again! I've been working on my modern fantasy WIP for a while now but I'm so excited to share it with everyone on here. It's going to be a series set in an entirely made up world with lots of adventure, action, romance, mages, magic & technology, magic systems, corrupt governments, exploration of human nature, and a lot of dark (and fluffy) themes. Hurt/Comfort lovers, I welcome you to check out this series because I had that specific trope in mind when creating this series and its characters.

I'm having a lot of fun designing the world and all the different countries, cultures, landscapes, and lots of other interesting details. I feel like there's not a lot of secondary world modern fantasy novels out there (when it's a completely made up universe it's usually fantasy set in the past or the future), so it will appeal to people who are looking for that. It's inspired by Greek/Roman mythology, astrology, astrological signs, tarot cards, the zodiac, and mythology in general. Here is a list of tropes & themes that are going to be present:

Rivals to Lovers to Enemies to Lovers

Identity, Character Growth, Mental Health, and Found Family

Hurt/Comfort (Experiencing, Overcoming, and Healing from Trauma)

A Focus on Human Relationships (Romantic, Platonic, & Familial)

Crime Organizations, Magic Schools, and Urban Fantasy Setting
