#letter magic

Laxus sitting off by himself at the Guild Hall, looking completely zoned out due to being in deep thought about something.

Freed of course notices this and quietly makes his way over to the Dragon Slayer, moving rather quietly so that he doesn't deserve the other's thoughts. He then leans in and gives Laxus a small kiss on his head.

so i just started watching fairy tail {as in, i'm fresh on episode 1, started} and i noticed you do magic matchups {which, by the way, super cute idea}, therefore, let's go~

i've said some of this before, but i like music, literature, history, and astrology, but also like adrenaline rushes, skateboarding/rollerblading, {can you tell i'm bad at explaining myself in matchups?}, and extreme temps. i dislike germs, mouth-breathers, bugs, and bland food.

i dabble in writing, guitar, reading, skating, sewing, music, acting, and dance. i'm talented in writing, music, foreign languages, and the like. obviously, i generally pursue things i'm good at kuhu. i'm also good at mimicry, i'm good at coping tones of voices and sounds, which is why i like languages so much. i tend to shift to adapt to my surroundings, but i always stay a bit hot-headed.

i suppose activity level is how active i am? i'd say i'm pretty average, i try to get out on walks and the like as much as possible.

i think i handle conflict well depending on what's going on. i've got a bit of a temper, but i try as much as possible to keep it under wraps because that's sort of how i grew up {cue the john mulaney emotions joke}. i'm usually the one starting a confrontation if i think something's wrong, but i also get into a ton of fights just over my rbf lmao. i tend to deflect a lot in verbal confrontations and bottle up. in physical controntation, i usually go on the offensive, but since i'm pretty small and slight, i just dodge around and jab. so it reallydepends, i'm quite flexible to my situations at any given times.

ooooh my first magic matchup, i’m so excited!! let me know how you find the series icarus, i’ll be more than happy to do more matchups for you as you get deeper into it ;D okay so from what you said (and what I know about you as a person), I can definitely see you using...

Sigils-

There is no one way to make a magical sigil, and every witch is different! I use multiple different techniques, so I thought I’d share them and my processes with you. ✨🕯

Hey there 👋🏼

So I know it sounds redundant, but..start.

Pick something you’re doing already on the mundane front and use that knowledge you’ve acquired to try something. Magic is about tipping the scales in your favor, not just relying on it as the sole provider of your wants and goals.

If you want something simple and every day, get a jar, or bowl (I’ve got a small ceramic cauldron meant for baking a small dessert) and put a bay leaf and a piece of pyrite in it. Empty your pocket of any loose change into the container. Do it anytime you’ve got change and just leave it be. If you need change, get it from somewhere else, the main thing is what you put into the container stay in the container (so if times are rough, maybe don’t immediately stick in that $20). It’s meant to bring in wealth.

If you want a folk magic tie to hang your hat on, it’s a variation of a housewarming gift that used to be given to newly weds (I’ve referenced it multiple times through the years). Jar, add in salt, a coin (preferably gold, or silver, though copper does fine), and a piece of bread. Seal it and give it to the newly moved people, or the newly married. Salt so their life always has flavor, and purity. Bread so they never hunger, and the coin so they’re never poor. It’s also multiplied due to the wheat in the bread, and break barriers with the salt. The coin conducts energy and blah blah blah.

As far as incorporating your writing into magic, here’s a post about enchanted inks for spellwork

And a follow up post about enchanting letters as spells utilizing the inks.

Aside from that, take a look at your style and apply it to writing spells and incantations. Take notes on how the work out! Even a simple phrase or rhyme about parking, or finding lost items. Try it once, then again, third times the charm and means it may be something you use regularly!

Good luck dear, best way to start is to try something simple.

I only have a few, sorry, and they’re admittedly mostly from other sources.

You could draw inspiration from the various types of Letter Magic from Fairy Tail. It utilizes words written by the user to achieve varying effects depending on how it’s utilized. Take a look at that link, there’s several different versions, and the wiki can describe them better than I could. Some of them might not translate easily from magic to a quirk (as you’d probably have to actually write the words out instead of them appearing out of nowhere), but they’re great inspiration.

Next, you could look at Charlotte Mont-d’Or’s Buku Buku no Mi from One Piece. It’s basically the ability to control nearby books, but he can do some pretty cool stuff with them.

Well I had another idea, but it turns out it’s basically the same as Mont-d’Or’s “Hon” no Sekai technique, trapping the enemy in an illusion that they’re in the book’s setting. To take it to an extra level, you could make it so that the target actually has to work through the story itself until the quirk is released, they reach the end, or they break themselves out.

I have so many requests to catch up on! T^T I’m so sorry, guys! Life has been pretty crazy. But here’s a WIP and a promise to you all that I’m working on them! <3
