#shocking right

There is some variation, and the colors tend to be mixed together depending on the magic being cast. Like how sugar cookie dough and chocolate chip cookie dough are both cookie doughs, but have different bits of color because of the different ingredients within (:

This right here, you can tell by its many colors, shapes, as well as just how forcefully she's casting it, that it is a rather intense spell. Purples, pinks, yellow and red. However this is not her typical casting style. A lot of her magic tends to be dark and purpley-- associated with death, decay, and draining. Pink is more of an uplifting magic, yellows are associated with energy, and reds are usually for power and heat.

The exact spell she's casting here, not clear. I just wanted to draw some colors. But based on how it looks, she's probably blasting someone with the equivalent of fifty monster energy drinks.

This here, very purpley, magenta, and hints of blue. Blue/purple/indigo is typically the color you see a lot in musical magic-- something Elliot tends to lean towards-- but this spell is only vaguely musical. This magic here looks more like it's about to make you hallucinate, at least IMO. Without actually having a cause behind these drawings, it's pretty much purely speculative what it is they're casting.

There are other colors, but purples and pinks tend to be the more common colors. Purple is darker magic and pink is lighter magic, and when one isn't purely one or the other, it's often they're blended together for other purposes.

Cyans/blues tend to be colder and more emotional, leaning into musical as it gets closer to indigo.

Reds oranges and yellows are energetic, powerful and happy magic.

Black and grays are seen a lot in necromancy, as they represent death and the draining of energy.

Greens aren't seen too often, it's what I could best describe as a bit of a destructive/corrosive magic, and it doesn't always flow well with other magic, thus it can be rather limiting.

Other colors here and there in between blur into this spectrum somewhere, and it's meant to be vague for people to interpret magic in their own way to an extent.

A lot of magic also has those shapes you see involved, and some magic has an abundance of specific shapes, another variable in the recipe of a spell.

They aren’t fictional. They have lives and reasons and desires and hopes and dreams.
