Headcanon about the oceanian magic world 4: protection and hiding
This part is focused the way, witches and wizards hide themselves in the pacific.
In the pacific they use really old spells.
They were cast by witches centuries ago.
In the eyes of the rest of the magic world they look like curses but not to the oceanic people.
The most common ones are the magic mists...
If someone, goes through this mist uninvited they get transported in time...
Most of the time it's irreversible...
But no one can reproduce that kind of magic...
It was created by one witch and her disciples, they all ...
The youngs learn how to navigate in the mist
If one of them get lost a special group of trained wizards are sent to get them back.
The mist has another effect on people...
If they stay too long in the other time period they get progressively crazy...
They lose touch with reality...
And as they lose their mind, their bodies slowly convert into the mist, until they became a pink cloud...
Some people wonder why such a dangerous spell was cast as protection...
And, even tho it's scary, it allowed the witches to stay hidden during the colonization of their islands...
Inside the mist, their tradition as well as their way of life was preserved...
When wizards and witches from other countries came those islands, to escape witch trial and witch hunters, they were eventually accepted by the council.
So the safe places in the mist are really culturally diverse
There are other types of protection...
They are several underwater villages,
The spell used are a variation on a bigger scale of the bubble-head charm
The people living in those places rarely goes above water but they accept visitors and marchants from above.
That's all I have for now!
