"The laws of magic are not the laws of physics, but the laws of mortals. It is like music, or theatre, there is a mode and means yes, but you do not have to follow the script to the tee."
The litch stared at me with pure hatred, but I continued, "what you think is possible, is possible!"
The litch's jaw opened with the clear intention of stealing my soul, the soul i did not have to sacrifice for immortality because i just held the belief that i could not die.
Delusion magic is powerful. One needs to be strong to make anything stick, because adamantly denying what is true until the truth changes takes a lot of commitment.

Reply to comment by BlueOrangeMorality in [SP] You walk into a cave and find it's full of spider silk by star_Cora
I mean... it's an alternate universe, there wasn't a hasty Industrial Revolution to push the world to a global war, nor was there an armistice signed and unterseeboots getting sunk, nor an economically crippled nation that could get their minds twisted by a silver tongued dictator who sent millions to death.
The spiders are not that smart,
They just have basic ambush tactics

Dawn, day 22 of spring 3307 UE
Eagan has me out in the woods again, I fucking hate the place, but it's three days of wadding cobwebs to be shipped off to who ever buys this shite for way more money I will ever see. But I don't pay taxes or anything so I guess it's alright.
Noon? Day 23 spring 3307 UE
I don't know why I bother writing a time and date in these woods. The sun doesn't shine here, the spiders and trees made sure of that. Big things they are. Always chittering, always watching. There is a good reason to fast before going out of "sunbeam" and not packing any food
I hate that name but it's true, it's the only part of this damn valley you can see the sun.
???? Day ?? Of spring 3307 UE
I don't know what's worse, seeing my wagon full of my goddamn hard work suspended 10 metres into the air by those 8 legged arseholes or getting lost in this cave. I thought this was stackhouse cavern, where silk gatherers put useful shit for when you are too far out of town. But it looks over grown with cobwebs
I'll sleep here for the night. And go back to town, I hate this but it happens.

Sorry mister skeleton! My book now! this is my little souvenir from the palaeontology site! After all we are studying the spiders that used to live in this valley (not poor buggers like you). Bugs the size of VW bugs and this cave is full of preserved webs and even a couple of mummified victims! Sans book of course!

Reply to [WP] You feel your powers flood back to you as the dampeners in your cell shut off. A man in a business suit steps into it and asks a simple question. by ankh3125
"Jackaboy! How ya been? Can I ask a simple eensy weensy tiny favour??"
First of all, no one had called me "jack a boy" before, it was jack, or "fire knight" (I never much liked that name).
"Drop the act" I said calmly, "this is a containment facility not a prison or an asylum, I won't lash out or something". The man's smile faded into all a grin and his shoulders lowered. "So, Ice dude went rogue, and we need all the fire people we can get. We can spruce the place up if you help." He extended his hand, I did mine and he yelped "AAGH FUCK!". I gave him a sly grin as if to say, "there a reason the league of heroes keeps me here and content"

Reply to [WP] The human lifespan is the lowest in the galaxy. That alone is why they are the most dangerous. by SeaCaptainJack
"A lifetime is of achievement in just under 100 years...." doctor Arkengarth said. Most cuil considered dying at 500 to be infant death. Most people called "earth" the "rock of infant death" since longevity seemed to only be present in some plants.
However here stood the fleet of 1000000 human warships full of humanity's best pilots and landing teams. They had "eaten" an entire resort planet, built a absorption spheres around 4 stars, and were tenfold bigger than when they were dismissed as a threat by the galactic war suppression effort. They did this in the time most would take a short vacation.
Dr arkengarth had been trailing the human conquest, originally sent ahead to warn other planets, but every one he got to had been completely conquered and altered to fit human design. It seemed that the humans learned how to travel past the speed of light (not that anyone else needed to go that fast, they were patient enough to wait 1000 years).
The humans were fast, faster than light, communication, lifespan, but just as expirenced

Illusion magic = make things look real
Delusion magic = make things real
Summoning magic = make things
Conjuration = make
