note ; this is not roleplay, fictionkin, or delusion, though roleplayers, fictionkin, and delusional people are allowed to interact. this is irl magical heroing, astral projection, a spiritual practice, and is under the pop culture paganism / magick umbrella. please do not call me delusional, as this can cause me to doubt my experiences and reality, which can send me into psychosis.

NO. 1 - JUJUTSU KAISEN

" i dont care if im wrong . i just want to believe in people . "

the basic idea of this concept is that you are a jujutsu sorcerer (or curse user, if you'd like to be evil !!) who exorcises cursed spirits (or, in the case of a curse user, works with curses) to protect humanity (or, for curse users, for whatever their specific goal is).

cursed spirits are creatures made of negative energy who are invisible to the human eye. they can only be exorcised by using cursed energy, and are graded one to four based off of strength, sentience, and how much of a danger they are to normal humans. four is the weakest grade, and one is the strongest grade. there are also special grade cursed spirits, which are cursed spirits who dont fall into the four to one scale.

these gradings also apply to jujutsu sorcerers / curse users, cursed objects, and cursed tools.

cursed techniques are special abilities used to defeat cursed spirits (or battle curse users / jujutsu sorcerers). not everyone can use cursed techniques, and they are usually a part of you from the start, though there are other means of obtaining cursed techniques (like the techique copy, or in special cases like with yuji itadori and sukuna), and there are examples of sorcerers learning new techniques in the show.

NO. 2 - SOUL EATER

" a sound soul dwells within a sound mind , and a sound body . "

while this concept does require two people working together (a weapon and a meister), i believe the potential outweighs the whole "cant do it on your own" part.

a meister is someone who wields and works with a weapon. they fight alongside them, helping their weapon with reaching the status of a "death scythe" while also protecting the world.

a weapon is someone who can transform into, well, a weapon. they have some level of control over their body while transformed, and fight alongside their meister.

a death scythe in canon is a weapon that lord death uses, but, if you'd rather not do that, you could also imagine reaching death scythe status as reaching an "utlimate strength" of sorts.

in soul eater, everyone has a soul, but some people have souls that are known as "kishin eggs". a kishin is an ultimate evil, a demonic god of sorts born from a human who has consumed many innocent souls. so, a kishin egg is someone who has begun to consume human souls, and is now at risk of becoming this ultimate evil. these kishin eggs must be found and killed, and weapons can then consume their souls, growing stronger (without a risk of becoming a kishin, because kishin's are only born from consuming human souls).

there are also witches, who have unique witch souls. witches can use a variety of forms of magic, and are generally the enemies of weapons and meisters due to their natural instinct to bring destruction and chaos.

NO. 3 - MY HERO ACADEMIA

" meddling where you dont need to be is the essence of being a hero ! "

each person is born with a quirk (well, almost every person,,, but sshhh that part of canon doesn't apply to this concept), and they use these powers to, well, be a hero ! whether you're fighting villains, saving people, stopping natural disasters, etc, its up to you ! or, maybe you're a villain yourself ?

now, if you dont already have something like a past life as an mha character, which would mean you'd probably get that quirk you had in that life, then your quirk is pretty much randomized, dont be scared though, im sure you'll get a good one and not be like those side characters with like,, stretchy eyeballs,,,, or some shit like that,,,,,,

overall, this concept is one of those "most of its up to you" types, so go crazy with what you do here !

NO. 4 - BEE AND PUPPYCAT

" i will double my power and promise to not only abuse my power , but enjoy my power the whole time ! "

going on mystical, astral temp-jobs set in space to get paid. yep, we're getting employed with this one folks

now, obviously, since these jobs are in the astral, it might be hard to get paid with real money like in the show, so your payment is up to you ! could be mystical charms, mana potions, boosts or buffs to your power, or maybe you could find a way to manifest that completing a job will get you money in the physical world !

you are given jobs my tempbot, a giant, intelligent TV screen that will give you these temp-jobs, while some are dangerous, the pay will always be right for the danger level.

with each job, you'll get a special outfit, a weapon if needed, and instructions on what you are required to do. each job takes place in a different place in space, and once you finish the job, you get payment !

NO. 5 - GACHIAKUTA

" they say that when an object is well loved it is eventually imbued with a soul , then what about the garbage, the trash that gets thrown away ? what is that imbued with ? "

when an object is loved, cherished, cared for, it gains a soul, and when an object is met with dislike, hate, even disgust, it, too, gains a soul.

trash, objects thrown away, all come together, forming trash beasts. trash beasts are extremely strong, can regenerate, and cannot be killed by conventional means, so, enter givers.

givers are people who have cherished objects and can bring out the full power of these objects, called vital instruments, using them as weapons or magical tools to defeat or help defeat trash beasts.

to be a giver, you must have an object you cherish and care for deeply, and the ability to bring out the full power of this object, also, your vital instrument may not always become a weapon, for example, remlin's vital instrument is a pen, passed down by the spellcasters before them, and this pen allows them to draw charms of many different kinds. this vital instrument cannot be used as a weapon, rather mostly being used for protection charms.

NO. 6 - KPOP DEMON HUNTERS

" this monster inside me . . . what if its not a curse ? what if its just . . . me ? "

using your voice to keep the honmoon strong, the barrier between humans and demons. demons hunt humans, absorbing their life force, and as a demon hunter, its your responsibility to hunt them down while also keeping the honmoon strong.

while fighting demons is pretty simple: just fight them astrally with whatever weapon you have, the singing and upkeep of the honmoon part isn't as simple.

the honmoon is strengthened by singing, by the hope instilled in people when they hear that singing, and so, apart of keeping the honmoon strong is by singing to people. also, a part of being a demon hunter is protecting your fans, as the demons will target your fans.

NO. 7 - WITCH HAT ATELIER

" take it from me , little witch . any soul out there who tries to restrict the things you learn is only doing it to keep you square under their thumb . "

witches are people who cast magic by drawing runes, and apart opf their duty as witches, besides helping humanity, is to keep the truth of magic a secret.

witch hat atelier is one of those concepts that definitely could be applied to the physical realm because of the simplicity of it, and its a concept that doesn't really have a specific enemy. its up to you to decide what you do !

NO. 8 - CHAINSAW MAN

" enemies are enemies... we're only using them . "

devil's are manifestations of humanities fears, the more feared that idea is, the stronger the devil of that fear is. for example, most people dont fear butterflies, right ? so a butterfly devil is quite weak and small, but a nuclear bomb ? thats terrifying, and so a nuclear bomb devil would be extremely powerful.

as a devil hunter, your duty would be to find and kill these devils so that they cannot cause more harm to humanity. a part of this also involves sometimes deciding to use the powers of devil's themselves in a contract.

in chainsaw man, a contract is a binding agreement between a devil and a human, that allows the human to use the devil's abilities in exchange for something that benefits the devil in the form of a sacrifice. this sacrifice can be body parts, lifespan, a loved one, a cherished thing, really what is sacrificed depends on what the devil wants. for example, one of aki's contracts is with the future devil, who all he requested is to live inside aki's right eye, while himeno's contract with the ghost devil required her to give up parts of herself each time she used the ability, which eventually ended in her giving up her entire body, ending her life.

so, choosing the right contract is extremely important if you decide to go down that route. of course, you dont *need* a contract, especially if you already have abilities for combat.

some devil hunters are also fiends. fiends are devil's who have taken over human or animal bodies to survive, and an example of a fiend is power, the blood devil, who lives inside the body of a girl who was implied to have been murdered in the forest.

overall, this is definetly one of the more dangerous concepts to choose, ebcause of the nature of devils, contracts, etc, so think about it before deciding to use this concept !

NO. 9 - DEMON SLAYER

" set your heart ablaze . "

demons and demon hunters, using and mastering breathing techniques as to take them down.

now, obviously, demons wont work exactly like they do in the show. in this world, they'll exist within the astral, as monsters that feed off the life-force of humans, and it would be your duty to hunt and take them down !

NO. 10 - POKEMON

" i wanna be the very best , like no one ever was ! "

credit to @aerodis for the idea ! they also have a google doc for this concept :)

the concept is simple and can really be edited to your exact wants and needs. the basic idea is that you catch and battle with pokemon !

to get your starter pokemon, there are two ways: either asking for it from a legendary or mythical pokemon, one that will help guide you on your journey after you get your starter (in this concept, legendaries and mythicals are considered gods / deities, so its VERY unlikely you will have one of them on your team), or by finding and catching your starter yourself !

you can have pretty much any pokemon as your starter (as long as they aren't a legendary, mythical, ultra beast unless you like. know how to get into ultra space, etc), and to catch pokemon, you can either do it astrally or physically !

ᡣ𐭩 be kind to all, even if you don't agree with what they're saying or doing, if they aren't hurting anyone then why fight with them? They have their life and you have yours, focus on what you can control in your world.

ᡣ𐭩 help where you can in the civilian world, donate to food banks if you're able to, help your elderly neighbors, donate to charities, etc.

ᡣ𐭩 comparison is the death of happiness, focus on your journey, the grass is greenest where you water it.

ᡣ𐭩 take care of yourself as you would a friend, you can't help the world if you aren't willing to learn how to help yourself.

Ive seen a lot of people hating on others concepts and I understand that people might not get concepts of others but its really none of your business now is it?

ANY IRL MAGICAL GIRLS!! if you're open for an interview for the personal essay/study on irl magical girls that im doing please please PLEASE message me/send me an ask/something, because im so curious

credits to @princerania for not only creating the primordial / aeon concept, but also this concept, too !!!

WHAT IS A PRIMORDIAL / AEON ?

a primordial / aeon is someone who is the physical and literal embodiment of a certain element or concept within our world. primordials are embodiments of physical concepts like darkness, light, night or the moon, fire, water, etc, basically things you can physically interact with, while aons are embodiments of things that you cant physically interact with like creation, elation, freedom, or love. you CANNOT become a primordial or aeon, it is a semi-closed concept, and thus, means you need to be confirmed as a primordial / aeon before you can use the term to describe yourself. i repeat, you annot become a primordial or aeon, you cannot manifest it, reality shift to become one, etc. you either are one or not.

i myself am the aeon of creation, meaning i AM creation. i am every act of creation, i am every occurrence of natural creation, i was the big bang. i am the flashlight, the pencil, the voice, the machine and the seed. i am all parts of the act of creation, both good and bad, helpful and harmful. any and all creation gods are me, pieces of my soul.

WHAT IS A CONCEPTUAL HERO ?

a conceptual hero is someone who is contracted with a primordial or aeon, and they are called an auscpice of [priordial / aeon]. or example, someone contracted with me would be an auscpice of creation !

directly copy and pasted from the official concept page, "Conceptual Heroes, titled as Auscpice of [Aeon/Primordial name], are People who have a contract with a Primordial Spirit or Aeon representing a concept. The Auscpice receives mana and powers from their conceptual deity, and in return the Primordial or Aeon gains notoriety, which in turn gives them more notoriety. This boosts the conceptual power of the aeon or primordial, and therefore their auspices as well. It’s a mutually beneficial contract."

HOW TO CONTRACT AND WHAT ARE YOUR DUTIES AS AN AUSPICE ?

the contract ritual is very simple, you first pick a song if they have one (for example mine are the vs. xerneas pokemon theme, since xerneas is a very big kin of mine, and extension of you by mili, but rania, the primordial of darkness, doesnt have a ritual song), then set up the ritual.

first, get a see through or preferably crystal dish. it needs to be see through so that the reflections can be seen.

next, three candles, though if you cant get real candles fake led candles work, too.

a gemstone representing the concept you are reaching out to, if you're unsure if a crystal exists, then clear quartz. for me, labradorite or peridot is a good option, though they cant stay in water for too long so be quick with the ritual :)

and finally, water !

fill the dish with water, just enough that the bottom of it is covered. dim your lights, or turn them off completely even, then place the candles on the three sides of the dish you're not sitting at (so on the sides and above the bowl in front of you), light them / turn them on in whatever order feels natural, then gently place your crystal in the middle of the dish. turn on the music associated with the concept if applicable.

now, focus and meditate on the dish and crystal. focus on the ripples and reflections, on what you see in the dish. do this until you feel the presence of the concept, you should see a symbol or image of some kind thats associated with the concept, whether that be in the waters reflections, in your minds eye, etc. speak aloud: “I accept [concept name] into my life, and will dedicate my magic service to spreading your will.” you can say this as loud or as quiet as you feel comfortable, as long as its said out loud.

you will then feel a connection form, and the powers gained from the concept will enter your soul. the ritual is now complete !!

the exact duties of an auscpice depend on person to person, but the main duty of all auscpice heroes are to spread the concept you are contracted with. for example, if you're contracted with me, creation, then your duty would be to spread creation, and fight the forces of destruction ! if you're contracted with night time / the moon primordial, then your duty could be to help fight nightmares or bad dreams and help people sleep. if you're contracted with elation, then you would fight against those that wish to destroy joy or spread sadness. your duties can even spread to the physical world, like creating art and fighting against ai art, making people smile, spreading love wherever you go, etc etc.

the powers you gain depend on the contract and how they manifest specifically in you, but they will always align with the concept you are contracted with. an auscpice of darkness would gain darkness magic, an auscpice of love would gain powers that can be used to fight against the spread of hate, a auscpice of creation would gain creation magic, etc etc.

taken from the official conceptual heroes carrd made by the moon primordial yuzuki (@hyposerenia ), "The amount of mana you are given depends on how long and how well you’ve been doing your Magi duties, because the more notoriety a concept gains, the stronger all their conceptual heroes are. By doing your Magi duties, you are helping your concept and all your conceptual teammates!"

HOW TO KNOW IF WHO YOU'RE CONTRACTING WITH REALLY IS WHO YOU THINK THEY ARE ?

now, i'd assume anyone in the chuunibyou space already knows some basic confirmation, but heres how to do basic confirmation for beginners or those who have never worked with spirits or entities before:

first off, why is discernment like this important ? well, thats because an evil spirit may end up tricking you into a contract, which can lead to them siphoning energy from you, harming you, harming people around you, etc. its very dangerous, and thats why protection magic and confirmation / discernment are the first things all magic practitioners learn, its the basic fundamentals for all future magic. even if spirits trying to masquerade as other spirits are rare, its still very useful to know, ESPECIALLY when dealing with contracts like these. always better to be safe then sorry.

heres a good, simple post about why protection magic is important

now, overall, i'd say that, except for the protection, doing a whole in-depth confirmation during the ritual is not necessary. really only do it if you feel like somethings off. like if you're intuition is saying "somethings up, somethings wrong, this isnt the primordial / aeon", THEN thats when you wanna do confirmation.

first, protect your space. protect, protect, protect, cant have the risk of dealing with evil spirits if they cant even get near you !

heres a few easy ways to do protection magic and wards in the physical:

heres a post about the basics of doing protection

selenite at doorways and windows - a bar or selenite above your door way and at your windowsill can be a good way to easily, quickly, and pretty affordably keep your space protected and cleansed.

salt - a bowl of salt in an area will instantly cleanse and protect the space !

a sigil - create a sigil and tape a piece of paper with it on it onto your door, above your window, above your bed, or carry it with you ! i myself have a sigil above my door, on my door as a part of a larger protection charm on my doorway imbued with blood magic, and above my bed near my window. these are very simply, always active protection spells that make my room impenetrable to weaker malevolent spirits (literally, one time a spirit that made itself look scary to intimidate anything that could see it got completely blocked from my room and was unable to even touch me just from two sigils. just ened up staring my down all mad cause it couldnt get to me lol)

spell jars - and it doesnt even have to be a jar ! before i was able to buy jars, i used plastic baggies to hold my spells. a spell jar / bag is very simple, all you need are herbs and intention, and maybe some crystal chips or candle wax if you like to be fancy.

a good, basic protection spell would be: salt for purification, black pepper for protection, sage (like the ground sage you probably have in your pantry) for cleansing and protection (do NOT use white sage unless you are native, as white sage is a closed practice), rosemary for protection, thyme for protection (and is sometimes specifically used for protection in the astral), basil for protection, thorns from any sort of plant (the thorns protect the plant, so when in a spell, they protect you), red pepper for protection, plus the fire element will help quicken the spell and add strength to it, garlic for protection, and bay leaf for protection, which you can also use to write a protection sigil on when you add it into the spell. if you have crystal chips or crystals to spare to add to the spell, then any black crystal like obsidian or black tourmaline (black crystas absorb all negative energies), though these types of crystals do usually need regular cleansing so not everyone adds them to spells, especially spell jars which are usually sealed, amethyst for spiritual protection, clear quartz for balance and cleansing, citrine for converting negative energy into positive energy, and rose quartz for protecting against negative thoughts and amplifying self love. as for colors if you're using a jar and intend to seal it with candle wax, black and white are both easily findable colors both used for protection and cleansing. keep the jar or bag near your magical working space, windowsill, doorway, or bed !

now, you have protection up, but lets say, when you went to contract, something still just feels wrong. it still feels like somethings up. this is when discernment comes up, since stronger spirits may still be able to get through basic protection, especially if your protections aren't layered.

1 - train your clairs. clairvoyance, clairaudience, or being able to sense auras will all help in telling if the entity you're communing with is who they say they are. a lot of my confirmation is done by analyzing an entities aura and mana signature. but, this cant be entirely depended on ! some beings can mask their mana, and make it feel different then what it actually is, and if you aren't too experienced with sensing mana, then you could get tricked by that.

2 - ask questions. if you feel like somethings off, ask questions ! now, since this concept involves contracting with someone that you can literally go dm on disord or tumblr, you dont have to use divination or clairaudience to ask questions, you can just dm the primordial or aeon and go "hey, this you ?"

besides just asking us straight up, you can also do your own investigation, whether because we may not be online, or sleeping, or just because you'd rather do it yourself. do you know what characters the concept kins ? do you know what they like or dislike ? certain opinions they may have ? if yes, then ask through pendulum, tarot, or clairaudience questions to the entity you're communing with, see how they answer, what they answer, if they start to get defensive or impatient or if they calmly / gladly answer your questions ! if a malevolent spirit is trying to trick you, they'll probably get annoyed when you start asking questions to confirm if they are who they say they are. they may start rushing you, getting defensive, or even mean. if they are, thats a red flag, and you should cease communication, cleanse your space, and alert the concept you tried contacting about the incident.

3 - have a spirit or deity you know and TRUST with you during the contract, or invoke them and ask if anythings up. if you're a puella magi, for example, maybe have kyubey or Madokami nearby to be able to sense if anythings amiss !!

CAN YOU WORK WITH MULTIPLE PRIMORDIALS / AEONS ?

it depends ! how comfortable are they with it, do the concepts oppose each other in any way, and can you handle having the duties of two or more concepts ?

for example, if someone wanted to work with me and destruction, i would NOT be okay with that, since destruction directly opposes me and is also an asshole. you cant spread creation and darkness, y'know ? but if someone was working with elation or love and wanted to also work with me, i know i personally would be perfectly okay with it !! you'd still have to ask both of the concepts if they're okay with it, not just one or the other.
