@Weird Tales So I made a character. They're still a work in progress since I want to run their magic by you first. I'll get through the other parts of their cs once the magic part is okay with you.

Demonic Magic | Conjuration
House Fletcher have, for generations, summoned demons who provide their children with magical capabilities. The ritual is binding, involving a process wherein the current head of the House would inject the demon inside the body of the child – normally around the age of ten or so – in order to allow the flow of magic to enter the child's system. Control over the demon is then practised by the child under direct supervision from armed guards of House Fletcher. Once it has become certain that the child poses no threat, they are once again allowed freedom to utilize their new-found abilities for the betterment of the House.
The process is extremely dangerous and House Fletcher has suffered casualties many times. A child may not survive the initial phases of the possession or fall prey under the demon's wiles, eventually wreaking havoc in the household. The continued existence of the normally unwilling and vengeful demon also poses a threat and members of House Fletcher undergo a constant struggle of control over the demon.
The demons that have possessed Reagan's body gave them the power of conjuration. Conjuration is the magic of casting spells which would summon either a living or non-living thing to the conjurer's aid. The process of casting a conjuration spell depends on the type of item or creature that the conjurer is attempting to summon and the length of time they wish for it to remain with them. Spells that summon non-living items such as weapons or bound armour are easier to summon and maintain than spells that summon living creatures.
The conjurer is limited in a way that the casting process takes time and certain ingredients are required to summon a variety of items. For example, summoning a simple broadsword requires either a piece of an already crafted sword or one of the items utilized in the creation of the weapon. Summoning creatures requires more ingredients, such as a patch of fur to summon a wolf. Control over summoned creature also depends on the conjurer's abilities and concentration, and the amount of ingredients utilized in the summoning spell.
The most powerful conjuration spells require the use of rare ingredients and a magic circle. There have been reports that these spells can take the caster hours to complete and drains the conjurer's magic so much so that not even small conjuration spells can be attempted in the following days.
T E C H N I Q U E S:
Non-Living Summons
Non-living summons do not require the use of a magic circle, but does require an open space for the summoned item to materialize. A piece of item related to the item the conjurer is attempting to summon must be the core of the spell and is the indicator of where the item will materialize. Non-living summons can last longer than summoned creatures, as they require little maintenance once summoned.
Living Summons
Living summons require the use of a magic circle and an understanding of the creature's basic anatomy. The conjurer must then attempt to recreate this anatomy using simple items relating to the creature within the magic circle. For simpler creatures like golems, recreating the anatomy can be as rudimentary as the conjurer wishes, but for stronger creatures like dragons, it must be as detailed as possible. The summoned creature will maintain its intelligence and instincts, but will be guided by the conjurer like a puppet on strings. Maintaining control can range from easy to almost impossible, depending on the type of creature summoned.
Magnitude I
Most non-living summons comprise the array of spells categorized as Magnitude I. These spells are the most easily cast with little to no effort from an experienced conjurer and materialize almost instantly, depending on the mass. The summoned items are not durable enough to last long-term usage.
Magnitude II
Non-living summons using Magnitude II spells are more powerful and more concrete, allowing the conjurer to use them more efficiently, at the cost of a slightly longer casting time and concentration. The most basic of Living Summons can be attempted with Magnitude II spells, although control over the creatures is easily attained although they dematerialize easily.
Magnitude III
Magnitude III spells require more time and are more taxing on the conjurer. Most of these spells can take minutes for the summon to materialize, although the results can be worth it. Non-living summons using Magnitude III spells are more durable, faster, and deadlier than normally crafted weapons. Living summons last longer and Magnitude III spells aid the conjurer in controlling these creatures.
Magnitude IV
The overall strength, durability, and speed of non-living summons are enhanced. Additionally, Magnitude IV spells allow the conjurer to summon a number of weapons at once at a cost. More advanced living summons are also available to the conjurer and control over the creatures is fleeting. Some Magnitude IV spells can also substitute casting time in exchange for more magic from the conjurer, which can drain them as much as Magnitude V spells.
Magnitude V
Only the most powerful of living summons require Magnitude V spells. These spells take an incredibly long time and require all the strength of thee conjurer. Maintaining control over the summoned creatures is also difficult but most conjurers who attempt to use Magnitude V spells use them as a last resort, wherein they allow the summoned creature to wreak havoc without their control.
Zaebor
Zaebor is the original demon that House Fletcher summoned. She appears to Reagan as a woman with the wings of a dragon and scales coating her skin. Between the two demons possessing Reagan, Zaebor is the more benevolent one as she has come to care for the young human. She is the one who had given Reagan the power of conjuration, but had wanted to allow her the ability to summon only non-living items as she sees summoning living creatures as a horrible act. She is the more powerful of the two demons inside Reagan, but knows that she cannot maintain this strength for long, which is why she is insistent that Reagan grow stronger so that they could stop Keadal themselves.
Keadal
Keadal is Zaebor's sworn rival and the one that altered the original Fletcher spell to allow him entrance into Reagan's body. He appears to her as a four-eyed wolf with silver white fur. His goals are more malevolent as he had not expected for Reagan to achieve control over the two of them. While he has no concern over the matters of mortals, he does wish for Zaebor's destruction and seeks to take control over Reagan in order to achieve that. Unfortunately for him, Zaebor has retained most of her power while he has not and thus he remains unable to break Reagan's control over him. He remains quiet to plot his next actions, but is most often the cause of Reagan's horrible feelings.

The amount of freedom you're giving us definitely has sparked my interest.
On a side note, not that I plan on pushing boundaries, but are you going to enforce a limit on number of characters?

I'll say two is the limit for now.
@everyone, I will try to have the OOC done either later today or sometime tomorrow
Yo matey ;). At last I thought of something that I think should be interesting and somewhat original ;).
If I need to add something or change feel free to post it ;).
Name: Miss Hudson
Birthplace: DewFoot Valley
Government: Consensus direct democracy
Races: All Hobbit Races (Halfings, Gnomes, Yordles, etc.), Pacifist Humans
Religion: Hobbit Deities, Peace Deities
History: Dewfoot Valley is a minor isolated democracy country created by older hobbit races societies 200 years ago to gather small races (and some chosen humans) in one isolated place supported by natural barriers which make potential conquest coming from aggresors far harder then it should be in normal case.
Most ancestors of current residents come from main 6 fractions: LightFoot Halfings which traveled to the place and decided to stop their nomadic lifestyle and build homes in Dewfoot Valley, Svirneblin which decided to mix living underground and on surface to avoid as much as possible drow and underground orc societies while trying to keep their culture intact and learn surface cultures at the same time, Rock Gnomes which tried to find some sort of peaceful land in which they could cultivate their carefree lifestyle without being harrassed by other races which accuse them or their childish behavior and unpredictible movements and actions, Yordles which decided to take up residance with some similar reasons to Rock Gnomes but forced isolation from many slavers made them far more aggresive and unpredictible which made them 'poor quality' slaves as they rely on constant positive contact with other Hobbit races to keep their sanity intact, Deep Halfings which were invited by other Small Races to work for them as their main blacksmiths and Tallfellow Halfings to work in all kinds of jobs which are connected to forest environments. All other hobbit races also exist here, but they are a minority (but their opinions are still respected).
Dewfoot Valley inhabitants live mostly in small villages up to 1000 residents and gather together in 5 biggest of them once per three months to gather opinions and vote on every single important matter before possibly implementing them (but 'Big Five' gathering only apply to national laws which affect all races and aren't local) with 3-2 or 4-1 majority voting neccesary to apply them (abstaining is possible, in this case they aren't applied). All local-only laws are voted in direct democracy gatherings every single time when new law is presented as long as at least 100 residents gather in place for voting (otherwise voting is postponed on later date). Village leaders and his assistants are voted once per 3 years. Dewfoot Valley prefer to keep their relationships with his neighbours limited to just trading goods in few extremely well protected trading routes (which limits potential aggresive invasion to minimum) and they are the only ways to gain access to their country. Residents of Dewfoot Valley keep professional army under their wings (number is small, but they are extremely well trained), although once in a while conscription is organized (once per year for all adults) to keep people in fighting shape. Local environment mostly consist of farmlands and meadows (35%), Forests (25%), Lakes and Rivers (10%), Swamps (10%), Mountains (10%) and Desert (10%).
Age: 58
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance:
Mistress Hudson is a person which prefer to wear truly simple and yet somewhat stylish and practical clothing. Most of time she carries simple red long sleeved jacket which cover her whole body except and red cone standard mage hat. The only jewelry she carries on herself are two simple gold earrings and the only make-up she carries is delicate eyeliner and light red lipstick. Her figure is truly slim, which proves that even in her older age she's in top form (health lifestyle do wonders :D).
Magic: Cantripologist
In other words Cantripologist mages are type of casters which mostly specialize in using extremely low level spells and they mostly work in support and distraction roles. Most offensive spells are mostly aimed towards knocking or distracting targets instead of hurting them. Many cantripologist mages are mostly users which want to be true masters of basics, truly understand most basic and primitive magic or are self-proclaimed pacifists or are just good natured people. They are also living proofs that even most simple spells may easily turn the side in the battles of mages.
Techniques: Spells casted by cantrilopogists are called cantrips (in D&D terms they are level-0 spells from all classes, the number is up for discussion) and they memorize them instead of learning or casting them straight up from the book like wizards.
Skills: Miss Hudson is extremely skilled housewive, capable of all kinds of house based works. Also as a traveler she knows how to camp in all kinds of environment and know most possible survival tricks. She's also shockingly skilled in self-defense hand-to-hand moves, which no one expects analyzing her appeareance. She resorts to violence only in most dangerous situations.
Equipment: Only simple house cleaning supplies, standard camping set and several books to read as entertainment (mostly for children, she adores them).
Personality: Miss Hudson is extremely kind, understanding and affectionate person. Some people may consider her slightly naive (but she isn't) because of her philosophy to always try to find positive traits in all people she meets and always give them a chance. As most cantripologists, she despise conflict (but will fight if needed and ESPECIALLY if someone hurts children, this is something she WON'T forgive) and pacifism is her favorite life philosophy. She pretty much never raise her smooth and gentle voice. Her movement is graceful and full of confidence, which for more observant opponents may betray her experience.
Favorite quotes:
"People tend to underestimate what you can do with a dozen Mage Hands." Dralek Tar, Half-Orc Cantripologist
"In skilled hands basic spells are most impressive of them all as pretty much no one expect them to be truly effective." Miss Hudson
"I started from the basics. And I never moved from them as they never dissapointed me." Corlan Goamin, LightFoot Halfing Cantripologist
History:
Miss Hudson since she remembers she loved every single second of her childhood. Her parents tired of being forced into things which they disliked they managed to escape (unfortunately ilnesses collected from slavery finished them off in the long run) from slavery once one of DewFoot Valley neighbours dealt with massive slave uprising. Most of them died, but some of them managed to escape including her family. Since that day she noticed how cruel and unforgiving the world may be for people, which had to deal with opressors controlling their lifes. After that she declared her life towards helping others, which couldn't defend themselves and were too weak for self-defense. Thankfully after her parents death kind family of Rock Gnomes decided to adopt her and show her the way of magic. It truly fascinated her how such force could exist and how unlimited it truly is. But her foster parents showed her the way of cantripologist - the most effective spells aren't those with massive power, but weaker once used in smart way. Basics, basics and again basics, it was all about them. And she understood and loved that philosophy all her life. In teenager years she became the head of her village orphanage and decided to travel around the world helping and adopting (or finding parents) for all orphaned kids, while also act as support mage for some chosen adventurer groups to collect funds as well. She continued that lifestyle for several years while she decided to retire at the age of 54. She never married, but she enjoyed some romances and she kind of needed to admit that she enjoyed that closure (also physical) although to keep her almost saint image (most people that know of Miss Hudson adore her) she keeps this part quiet. Unfortunately after retirement new dangers started to show around DewFoot Valley and some nasty opponents slowly start to work around the magic rune barriers, which may ruin the peace of DewFoot Valley. Her main concern right now is to find allies and fight those people off.

Name: Gregory Philmus (Greg)
Age: 5
Gender: Male
Race: Pigeon
Appearance:
Magic:
Lord of the Flock: This magic allows Greg to command other birds to listen to him. He is a very charismatic pigeon and as such he can command other birds to do his bidding, though his magic helps a bit in this area.
Feather Magic: This magic allows Greg to use his own feathers and the feathers of others to attack often making the feathers sharp enough to cut fabric. However these feathers can’t cut through steel or anything stronger than thin leather.
Physic connection: Gregory can speak to other races through the use of relaying messages directly into the mind of others, this allows him to communicate though it only has so much range.
Techniques: Greg often utilizes a tactic of constantly having other birds near him. Many of them will listen and come to his aid at his very call. These other birds are almost mind controlled and as such will sacrifice their own lives in order to protect Gregory. Gregory will also sometimes use the feathers of his fellow birds in order to create a sort of storm to allow him to escape from the carnage.
Skills: Greg does not have much in the way of attacking without magic. The only skill’s he does claim to have however unusually accurate aim when it comes to where he is pooping. He can also spot bread crumbs from about 100 feet away.
Equipment: Greg has nothing on him except for his army of other birds of all kinds, this goes from vultures, to hawks, even to chickens and flightless birds when they are near him.
Personality: Gregory is a very egotistical bird. He will do whatever he can to raise his own ego and even prove to others how superior he is to them. Sadly this also makes him a very sore loser when it comes to battles and the such. Often this goes to the point where he will leave behind ‘presents’ for the other party to find. Quite often this means spoiling their food whenever he gets the chance.
Gregory is also quite the womanizer, often quite liking women that are shorter and sometimes (though rarely) going after short men as well.
History: Gregory was born a bit unusual among his kind. There has always been legends of monsters and animals that have the ability to use magic, but they were just that legends. That was until Gregory Philmus was born. At first many other birds feared him for his strange abilities, however he has learned that he is extremely charismatic when it comes to asking other birds to listen to him. As such Gregory has slowly been gaining a reputation.
After about the first year of discovering his abilities he quickly learned that others would try to hunt him down. As such he started to amass an army of other birds to help protect him. Though he has started learn more about magic as well, as such he soon realized that there was a way to make other birds just like him. He has started to learn more about magic in hopes of giving other birds powers like him so he won’t be the only one of his kind.
Other: Gregory has a weakness for pumpkin seeds and pretty female birds. He is also far more intelligent than the average bird.

Do I need to change anything or it's cool this way ? Ahh yeah if she has a 'weakness' (I didn't exactly mention it) it's good looking men. Although most people consider that kind of 'improper' in this era for someone as mature as her. But yeah, she hides it really well.
But yeah, concept is simple - most basic spells, but just more powerful then normally to make up for it.
