[quote=@Nimda] Sure! But that last effect I didn't design, so why that's happening is beyond me. *Leans over the bar and begins blueprinting golden magic lines into intricate interlacing magic circles traced on the wood grain* This is about where I started with my idea. You have your standard incantations that I can give you if you want them, but I feel like you can figure out where I'm going with this. And it was a good start, light magic, light moves fast, all that fun stuff. But then I started to play with weaving it together with a spell for shadow travel. *Holds my finger above the bottom-right quadrant of the circle, and a drop of anti-light falls from my fingertip onto the pattern, causing it immediately to lash out with shadow magic and change its form into thorned curves resembling rose stems* From here, I could tell I was onto something.
