yes hello hi
may I humbly request prompts for a magical character exerting too much magic and either needing to recharge or risk turning into whatever their magic is based out of
Like if a water magic person over exerted themself they could turn to sea foam, earth into stone, etc
💗
@celestialwrites for more!
ೃ⁀➷ character facing being turned into what their magic is made of prompts
✩ for a character who has the power of fire and such when they become over exerted they would turn to molten lava.
✩ another character running to them and having to literally drag them away so they don’t overexert and have to face the consequences.
✩ if a character has powers of telekinesis they become turn apart as they fall to the floor.
✩ their power being too much to the point where they get knocked out and another character has to try and find them a recharge.
✩ using their power and watching as their limbs slowly disappear.
✩ characters screaming at them to stop when they’re over exerted.
✩ for characters with earth powers they would turn into dirt/grass (or both) as they fall apart.
✩ tears streaming down their face as they scream for their magical recharge.
✩ for characters who wield water powers when they overexert their body starts to turn into water, starting at their fingertips and working their way through the characters body.
✩ for characters who can control the wind and air around them when they’ve over exerted with no chance of recharge they get swept away into the wind.
✩ characters having to go to extreme lengths to find a magical recharge to save their friend.

Breaking Magic Stereotypes I Think:
“Rule number one about magic, everything you think you know about it is bullshit.”
“Magic has a mind of its own and it doesn’t always listen.”
“Dude a show magician could do this better than you.”
“Fire burns your fucking clothes whether it’s magic or not. I dunno why everyone thinks it doesn’t.”
“When you’re casting a spell, you gotta do it from above your hand, not from it. Otherwise it affects you too.”
“The only kind of magic that isn’t real is the shit you see on tv.”

✨🌙 Magic AU ideas for fun ✨🌙
~ Please credit me if you use any of these.
🕸️ Ink spiders
Spider like creatures that tend to live in places with lots of ink (think libraries, book stores, antique shops, etc).
Most people think the black spindling legs are the creature and it's made of ink (hence the name), but the spiders are actually made of the spaces between words, the black ink is the shadow. They're very thin and you have to get close and look sideways at them to faintly see their actual bodies, which almost look like very thin glass threads. More of a distortion in the air than an actual image. Leave ink splatters when startled and make little clinking noises like tea cups when they get curious enough to climb something you've left close enough to the page.
**Think that photo of camels in desert where people think shadows are the camels
🚪Little shops in between the books on shelves in antique and bookstore.
They look like little miniature houses/apartments but they aren't fond of people lingering so if you look away they'll shut the doors and windows by the time you look again.
Some even take their welcome mats back inside.
🌌 Planetary rings can be bought for an unbelievable price but only the best magic users have them. They make amazing engagement and/or wedding rings.
🐠 If you find the right crosswalk in the rain, you will loo down between the painted line over a mirror image of the city, see fish swimming, leaves floating, etc. Stepping on the blocks gets you across but stepping in the water spins you around and you end up in the city. If you look up you'll see the blocks in the sky and fish swimming high above like clouds. You can watch people walking across the street above you.
This is the only way to find certain magic market places and it can be hard to find the right crosswalk. People usually end jumping in lots of puddles trying to find the right one.
**You leave the same way
🌧️ Kitchen clouds that rain spices
🌊 The most expensive and rare lace is foam from the sea pulled off at high tide under a full moon. White with the gentlest hints of blue, perfectly imperfect in it's details. They say it smells of salt and feels cool against the skin.
**Sold by mermaids, sirens, ocean nymphs. If you buy if from someone else it's probably fake
💡Sting lights that fly off the string when not in use and flicker on and off around the room. When you ask for light or turn it on, they all come floating in to sit on the string at their spots.
**Like lightning bugs but just little puffs of light
🌱 Rooms where grass grows on the floor or up between floorboards. Wildflowers and clover joining it. Sometimes sunflowers pop up to keep depressed or sick people company, common in hospitals
🛁 Night bath bombs: Black ones that turn the water black and silver dust forms accurate constellations in the water.
Cloud bath bombs: White ones that cover the top of the water in rolling puffs that look like cotton but dissipate like fog when you wave your hand through it.
Ocean bath bombs: Blue ones that foam and make small waves, sea salt scent and the grit of sand at the bottom of the tub.
Rain bath bombs: Grey ones that smell like rain and look like puddles, the occasional leaf or two floating by, and the perfect warm summer rain feel and smell.
🎨 Colorful butterflies like paint chips travel together and always form beautiful murals when they land. They usually stay for awhile before getting up to move their artwork to somewhere else.
🐙 Upside down flowers that move like octopus, the petals like little legs they scurry around on. They sometimes produce pollen puffs when startled or angry.
🦷 Dentists that do teeth whitening for vampires
👗 Dresses with flower edges, the skirt made of stems all going up to form the waist with leaves occasionally helping to cover and the flowers all at the bottom. Living dresses.
Along the same thought, flowers that weave in your hair and stay, Ivy, lavender, gardenia, etc.
🥪 Swamp houses on giant lilly pads with monsters that lives in the muddy waters, ancient beings that adore grilled cheese and will accept it as an offering of friendship.
🐾 Veterinarians that can speak multiple animal languages and can ask animals what's wrong as well as follow up on any neglect or abuse claims
⚓ Tattoos that move and change as the person does. Flowers that go through blooming and wilting. Words that change fonts. Animals that wonder around the body. Anchors that sink down to the feet. Watercolor that leaves the skin damp
🛒 Groceries that pop into your kitchen as you order them.
**They keep putting the milk in the wrong place and at this point you think it's just to fuck with you.
🪞 Store changing rooms have two types of rooms available, with mirrors that flatter and support, or mirrors that are brutally honest and occasionally hurtful.
💉 Werewolves that need to stay up to date on their rabies/disease shots instead of their flu shots.
💰 The best thieves and scammers are fae because they're amazing at getting information, names, numbers, etc. Also kitsune because of their remarkable cuunning and playfulness.
💧 Depression medicine that shoos away the rain clouds over your head
Calming tinctures that literally stop your head from spilling
Warming spells that start at you toes and roll up your body like sinking into warm water
Cooling spells that run down from the top of your head like a cool shower
💀 Classroom skeletons that teach their own classes and love dad jokes. Real ones that tell stories from their lives, or died very recently but it was in the middle of the semester and they still have shit to do. Fake skeletons that like to pretend they were famous/fictional people and spread completely ridiculous and often hilarious rumors.
🏘️ Ghost towns/neighborhoods like spirited away. Quiet and empty during the day but bustling streets and shops as the sun goes down. They aren't on maps for a reason - tip your hat or nod your head and remember your manners while quickly passing through
🌫️ Spells that hide your home from those with ill intentions. Sometimes they can't see your house or it looks abandoned. Sometimes it switches the roads around so none ever lead to you. Those with good intentions will always find their way to you, even if they get lost.
**Think irish proverb about the road rising up to meet you vibes
🗑️ The creature that lives in the break room trashcan always has the latest gossip and will gladly trade you some in return for some old coffee or a snack from the vending machine.
🐌 Sea slugs as street cleaners, make their way through the streets at night in slow wiggles like how they clean the bottom of the ocean.
**Often cause traffic delays if they get behind and can stay out til morning, so listen to the local morning radio to make sure to avoid any road closures due to slug
👁️ Seers make the best personal assistants, front desk, nurses, etc. Catch things right as they fall, will call and reschedule appointments before people know they need to, can make sure messages get where they need to go exactly when needed.
**Fake seers will sometimes try to pose as weathermen or similar to get some fame and money. They usually get booted quickly.
🌿 Eucalyptus that grows in the shower and greets you in the morning with happy waves and wishes you good night in the evening. Moss that grows on the floor like a rug and sprouts like flowers when it thinks you need some cheering up.
⌛ Time delays are a thing, however they must be approved by the time equality agency. You can request to change the hours in your day. For example, a student might request to have more time to study before their 7am final. If approved, they might have say 5am last 4 hours before time resumes as normal. However they'll have 4 hours removed at the end of their day.
**Kind of like daylight savings where the clock jumps forward and backwards
Usually this is reserved for very special situations as there's a lot of paperwork and requirements involved.
🚀 Spaceships gets stars stuck on the side, like boats get barnacles stuck to them, and they have to be scrapped off and throw back up into the sky
**Stars also go too low sometimes and get stuck in tree branches and gutters
🍄 Giant mushrooms used at part of the structure and/roof in forest homes. Living homes.
🌳 Willow trees are incredibly protective. If someone gets a willow whip mark (snapped a branch at them like a towel) it usually means they were somewhere they shouldn't have been.
🦋 Some butterflies have extra pollen on their wings that gets shaken off. This can be gathered and used in magic makeup - doesn't harm the butterfly as they shake it off themselves when it gets too heavy.
🐉 Fire flowers that burn blue at the base and end in flickering flames. Little embers in the middle like pollen. Very small dragons take the embers and soot like bees.
Please note that it's illegal to take anything from a dragon, including fire honey, but sometimes if you befriend them they'll trade you. Maybe a shell of honey for something shiney. They're fond of things like tinsel and shiney confetti, it's easy to carry and they sometimes wrap it around them like little scarves.
🗺️ Physical maps that direct you like Google maps but also refuse to ask for directions if they themselves get lost. Sometimes they fold on the sides like little arms on their hips when they're mad.
**Map: don't you dare pull over, take the turn in .5 miles.
Driver: There is no turn!
Map: Take the turn!

"I find humans very perplexing. Of all creatures, you are freest from the laws of magic, but at every turn you covet our chains and willingly bind yourselves."
"The draw of magic is mesmerizing. Many of us would give up anything for a chance at power."
"None of you understand the cost. Not until it's too late."

"Oh, this will be fun." Supervillain smirked. He readied every power he could manage, all stolen from their friends. It made Sidekick sick to their stomach.
They assumed a fighting stance of their own as they began to block and dodge, making sure to keep Supervillain from laying a finger on them.
If they messed up now...
"HAH! Someone looks nervous. Why not get a little closer?" Sidekick purposefully faltered, allowing him the chance to latch a hand onto their arm. "That little power of yours is mine now."
They moved their other hand, readying the trigger. Thankfully Supervillain hadn't been paying attention to the symbols they'd drew in the air.
Supervillain's expression grew increasingly confused by the second. Now Sidekick smirked. "Good thing I don't have a power for you to steal," they said, setting off their magic.

Prompt
A is a down-on-their-luck wizard who decides to enter a reality TV talent show competition as a magician. They hope that their very real magical powers will give them an edge over the competition and help them win the grand prize. To A’s surprise, the other competitors are fierce and will do almost anything to win. A also has to work extra hard to keep their powers a secret from B, a rival magician (human without any actual magical powers) who suspects that A’s miraculous acts are much more than they seem.
