#trans wizard

boycotts are easy in this day and age... 🏴‍☠️

l just think old men should slay wizardry with the biggest pair of naturals imaginable (it's neat).

February 18, 2024:

This is my first time reading a non-horror work by this legendary author, and I can't think of a better way to describe it than "permission to feel joy." It's a parody, it's silly, and I cackled the whole time. The author commentary was charming, the sex scenes were hot (!), the frequent metahumor was funny (!!), and there was more conflict than I expected from a romance novel. Me? Liking meta, fourth-wall breaks in a novel?? Apparently, it's more likely than I think.

I'm in this book! And so are you! I had a wonderful time reading this

To get to Brass Tax, you want to change your Physical Appearance, particularly your Sex. That's awesome! Today, we'll be going through the methods, operations, and specifics of this transformation! Helping us will be Thell Windertrot! Say Hi, Thell!

Thell is an Alfr, just over the age of thirty six (around eighteen in Alfr years). She's been socially transitioned since she was twenty two, but now that she's out on her own and learning magic in Astieux University, she feels its finally time for her to under go a more permanent change.

First thing's first; Figuring Yourself Out

Who are you, really?

If you're looking to get such a large scale change of both your social life and physical being, you'll want to be certain about it. These changes may not be permanent, but when you're dealing with real biomantical magic rather than simple illusion or different outfits, you'll come out exhausted both physically and emotionally. Repeated use of this kind of magic can be dangerous, as any magic can be.

Consider the changes you'll need to make in every day life. A change of any body part for another can change daily needs and wants. Think about your social life! Unlike certain worlds, the majority of Miran society sees no oddity at all with transgender individuals, but social stereotypes for the sexes still exist. It's always important to consider your entire life situation before going through with something like this.

Second thing's second! Methods.

While modern medicine is quite adept at handling illnesses and life saving surgeries without magic (and preferably, since magic has its own shortcomings), changing an entire core aspect of your being is best done magically. Let's see what your options are;

Divine Blessing.

The largest religion on Mira is Shianism. While Temperant Shians have a rarely conservative view on sex changing, Vertian and most other paths of Shianism do not!

Going through a divine sex change may require entreating the gods, requesting her holy light Audesoux and Saint Lehsda bless you with the miracle of a sex change. Then, a dignified Priestess of the gods may be able to invoke such a transformation on you, if the gods are willing.

This is the preferable way of the faithful. The request may not immediately be granted, it may in fact take years for Her Holy Light to give you what you request, after much prayer and sacrifice.

While this may seem a downside, it is merely another way to prove dedication and love and respect for one's religion and the saints themselves.

Thell isn't interested. She's been ready too long to be put on a waiting list, and wizards like her famously aren't very religious.

Primal Transformation

The loosely organized druids of the natural world have their own ways of magically granting a sex change, but these methods are, at times, a bit strange.

Stereotypical though it may be, a person looking to change their physical sex through druidic magic can expect a lot of smoking, a lot of meditation, a lot of being naked in the woods, and generally accepting nature as part of your body (since it has to do a lot of construction work in there to get things done...)

This too requires dedication, but is a natural and relaxing way to allow the natural world itself to restructure you, taking back what it gave, and replacing it with what you've always wished for. To some, that's comforting. As though they were born again as what they truly feel themselves to be!

Thell doesn't like this either. She prefers to have an actual toilet with actual plumbing around, and has very bad pollen allergies...

Witchcraft Therapy

Witches, as usual, prefer to not use magic for gender transformations. However, there are many potions and tinctures that do quite easily replace the hormones of a patient with that of their proper gender.

This gender affirming care comes along with, what cityfolk might call, 'therapy'. But witches prefer to just talk with their patients over tea. Psychological pushing, a little bit of showey sparkles, and real hormone replacement is the jist of witchcraft.

Thell has actually already done some of this. Her local witch back home would give her such potions, which is why she's already looking so fetching! It's a good preliminary, but... she wants a real permanent change...

Arcane Transmogrification

The best and worst thing about arcane magic is its... literal-ness. When you use arcane magic, you are not relying on a god to translate your wish, or the primal spirits of nature to interpret your command, you are relying entirely on yourself. This is why wizardry has so much... math! You need to know exactly what you're doing to pull spells from the firmament.

Thankfully, Thell is a very very good wizard!

Thell has already read up on the options. And considers it simple to do this with a spell! All you need to do is tell the universe exactly what you want your body to be. And as you weave Chroma, the extraordinary energy that interlaces the world, from the air, your volition will change the universe to make it so!

Now this is where Arcanism puts its blocker. If you mess up a spell like this... it might not turn out great. Again, you need to KNOW what you want to happen!

Polymorph spells are particularly troublesome. Biological beings generally want to stay the shape they are, and more than that, want to keep inside from being on the outside.

When you cast a polymorph spell on an unwilling target, you first have to overcome the 'shape' barrier. You can convince a body to be a frog if you really focus on a frog and that person fails to resist, but you can't convince a body to be a pile of dead organs on the ground, no matter how hard you try.

But that's different with willing targets... meaning it's actually possible to put your organs on the outside if you make a really big mistake.

Thell needs to properly visualize herself, her new body, and so decides to try to sculpt one out of clay! Let's check in and-

Uhm. Maybe a bit more modest there, Thell?

And there! Thell has her sculpted model. She's been studying for works, modifying this spell word by word, diagram by diagram, to create her perfect body! Have anything else you'd like to say, Thell?

It's thanks to her skillful modification and use of this spell on her very own body, soon she'll get an apprenticeship with a very powerful archmage! And will inevitably send her on an adventure that will change her life forever. (Check it out at Chromaverse.net if you'd like!)
