Question about Faerie Magic?
« on: June 24, 2010, 06:44:48 AM »
I am having issues trying to determine what I can do with my magic, I understand what the book says about faerie magic, but it seems like its really short on actual information?

The basic Evocation, or even channeling seems very straightforward to perform a Maneuver, Attack, or block is pretty simple, however it seems there is a very large missing chunk on how their magic is used in actual combat?

For instance if you have Seelie magic, but you need to attack someone how do you do so?  Could it be just a bolt of summer fire, or do you actually need fire evocation/channeling to do that?

Here are the characters powers, please give me a hand with some examples?
Seelie Magic
Thaumaturgy
Inhuman Recovery

So far it seems like I am going to have to put a hold on the Thaumaturgy and take Evocation just so I can get the spells to make sense?

You can use Summer as an Element, like Fire or Air. Throwing bolts of summer fire, or anything else that fits under it's thematic domain is entirely appropriate.

Think of Summer as the element, instead of the normal 5 element setup, kinda like the change of elements they say Mai might have (gold box, page YS253). You could do hot scalding summer air blasts, earth effects, summer fire, and the like.

Summer does growth life and energy.
So you can also do thinks like having local plants or even animals attack.
Make your target sick by boosting all the diseases in his body.
Give your target heat stroke.
Give yourself an extra boost of heath and energy.

According to popular songs, the element of summer can also:

Make you want to move your dancing feet - Bob Marley

Make the days seem to last forever - Bryan Adams

Cause 'Summer lovin'' - Grease

Can make fish jump and give you wings - Summertime by G.Gershwin (I like the Ella Fitzgerald version).

Make the back of your neck dirty and gritty - The Lovin' Spoonful

and it can even make you feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in your mind - Seals and Crofts

So the answer is really "practically anything, as long as you can justify it." 
90% of what I say is hyperbole intended for humorous effect.  Don't take me seriously. I don't.

Yep.

You know how Thaumaturgy has both Functional and Thematic specialties? This is a Thematic one for Evocation.
