So, Mage Marked!Tangled/BaleFire!Alchemist AU??? Anybody??
Just me? Okay:
- Varian is a skin witch who only realizes he’s even mage-marked until he’s betrayed the crown. (I’m thinking Varian accidentally using skin witch magic, pausing, and then spending the next two days screaming his head off in a forest)
- He gets the nickname ‘The Bale Fire Alchemist’ for being one of the only people to EVER stop Bale Fire (think blue flames that can burn anything, even water and use souls to grow) without needing to take down the warlock that made them first
- Rapunzel doesn’t believe he’s a skin witch at first so she lets him show her using her own body. (He cuts off her breathing for like two seconds and she’s shook)
- The rest of the main gang start asking him to do weird stuff with his powers. (“Can you make it so my legs are stronger? I wanna be able to jump higher!” “Can you make ___ into a chimera?” “What if you used your powers to stun that deer for us?”)
- The main gang + Quirin are really the only people actively willing to touch him at any given time? Because a Skin witch’s work by touching a person and then they have like total control if they keep holding on??
- Swords And Fire isn’t a popular series but basically: Skin Witches are very rare and dangerous, on the level of Warlock dangerous. (Picture Vivomancy and Artifcers as the main two types of magic, then you have Warlocks who can control/manipulate a certain element like electricity, fire, bale fire, etc) On general level, they function like Vivomancers (plant magic users), but they can break the chains that keep Vivomancers only using their magic on plants and animals, not humans. (So while a Vivomancers can’t stop your heart with a touch, a Skin Witch could)
- His Mage Mark is a deep purple ring against his normal blue eyes.
- Varian made Ruddiger temporarily into a chimera, after he was done he was very scared Ruddiger would stay as one. (He didn’t.)
- along those lines, Lance once dared Varian to make him into a chimera. Varian refused and nearly had a breakdown after because he could barely change Ruddiger back without messing up the poor raccoon.
