#spell caster

by Palamarchuk Mikhail

Things that happened in one of our DnD session.

And rings are in apparently, whatever.

but what about the classics.

Like grimoires.

What did spell books like me do to deserve being cast aside in favour of things like…

🪄Name: Blaze/ Race: Mobian/ Class: Wizard/ Items: Spell book and Staff

*Big and Blaze are both purple cats so in bound by chaos they are siblings.

*Her girlfriend Amy is her biggest supporter.

*No matter what spells blaze cast she has a 50% chance of it turning into a fireball.

James Murrell wore iron goggles to see what other people couldn't. He predicted the exact hour of his own death and died on it. John Wrightson built up his hearth fire and welded two mocking visitors' chairs to the floor, leaving them to roast until he felt they'd learned their lesson. Anne Jefferies was carried off by six fairies in green at nineteen, came back able to heal anyone who asked, and never took a penny for it again.

These are the cunning folk. Not witches, though the same person who lifted a curse on Tuesday could be accused of casting it on Wednesday. In the records they go by a wonderful scatter of names: wise man, wise woman, conjuror, charmer, pellar if you were in Cornwall. Cunning meant wise, not sly, from the Old English cunnan, to know. They spoke charms, broke curses, found what was lost, told you who'd wronged you, and charged for it, openly, as a trade. At their peak there were several thousand of them working at once. Then they were almost entirely written out of history, crowded out by the witch trials. That was never really their story.

The Cunning Folk Cards is a project I made as a way into that history, through the people who actually did the work. 54 cards, real cases, real names, pulled from the records where most of this got quietly filed away. Use them to explore the cunning folk's world, have your fate foretold in a three card spread, or build a spell of your own.
