#phoenix logic

The system is simple, you become an expert in certain kinds of magic the same you get degrees in colleges and obviously there are lots of questions a person who studies must ask. like say you’re trying to get into conjuring.

Well what kind of conjuring? Is it of a specific item? A generalized set of things? Are you trying to conjure something entirely from magic energy or by bringing it from elsewhere? Or are you trying to conjure by alchemizing ambient elements into the thing you’re trying to make? is there a level of complexity you’re interested in achieving with your conjurings? Anatomically correct? Identical in image only? Do you want your conjurings to have autonomy or are you attempting to employ a level of control?

Are you trying to conjure via summoning? Do you want to work specifically in summoning rituals? Are you trying to summon actual persons you know or know of or create ways for people to do that? Are you trying to summon spirits or beings of alternate planes? You need to extensively study in the schools of multidimensional observation, multidimensional access, multidimensional ethics, etc. Will you be working exclusively in big time rituals or do you intend on portable summonings?

How do you plan on performing your advanced levels of magic? Everyone’s different, most work orally, sign language is extremely common, using objects is a typical method. Do you plan on employing runes? Because that involves you taking many classes in linguistics to certain the general principles of rune inscription and a familiarity of a vast variety of written languages to make your own inscriptions. There’s also the theory on magic’s effectiveness and longevity in different types of materials and why inscribed magic lasts longer than non-inscribed, gotta know that stuff.

And then I forget where I dropped off and got into imagining the mQuartz, basically iphones. Or tablets. or something, and how advanced rune technology created the constraints for what effectively amounts to smartphones with facetime and the ability to take and store photos, and how they’re powered by ambient magic but the runic tab that’s used to absorb ambient magic has planned obsolescence.

Somewhere along the way I was thinking about using one of these mQuartzes or whatever I’ll call them to project an image using another piece of projection technology but there are compatibility issues because different companies have proprietary runic language that makes it difficult for one magitek device to work with another.

And at a certain point my mind wandered to how not everyone learns magic or needs to learn advanced magic, in fact in many ways magical education is a lot like math science or history, where you have to get a lot of broad strokes early on just enough to get on in life and specialization happens later if you so choose, you just need to know enough about gathering, projecting, and manipulating your own energies to run a few basic things in people’s lives.

Inktober 2018 Day 11, Cruel

The true cruelty is that I put Jerome through so much abuse in this series.

But also this is how Elsa shows “affection”.

She means well.

I think.

Inktober 2018 Day 4, Spell

In the world of Phoenix Logic, there are sorcerers like Vancent here who have a hard time learning magic traditionally because it’s taken up by the natural magic they can use.

Spellbooks can be tied to Sorcerers like Vancent here, and over time their magic can be translated into spells others can use.

I posted a ton of WIPs and previews for this on My Patreon, where I also post WIPs, experiments, sketches, and exclusive images that may not be seen for a long time.

Inktober 2018 Day 1, Poisonous

So yeah, due to time constraints and general laziness I’m finally posting what few Inktobers I was able to spit out this year

For Inktober I decided to delve into my “The Academy of Magic: Phoenix Logic” story and just have Inktober be all them because it’s a magical world and junk.

So here’s Elsa, the dragonoid... character.. person. She’s a student that has a big focus on alchemy and potions.

Inktober 2018 Day 6, Drooling

A sequel to Day 3, looks like Akami and Vincent have an unexpected dinner guest in Jerome the werewolf.

Inktober 2018 Day 2, Tranquil

In the world of Phoenix Logic there are a race of people called Phantoms. They’re not dead, they’ve just got ghost powers.

And here’s Morty, doing what he does best.
