You know, even though I am sad that animus magic isn’t around anymore, I honestly wouldn’t have hated if this had been the actual reason it disappeared. There’s something poetic about the universe keeping a cosmic balance. Nothing comes for free. There is always a price to pay and the price of animus magic is the warping and devouring of the soul of those who use it and once that balance was disrupted it fades away. Animus magic kind of started off as this mysterious/sinister power and while I do like that it is played off as just another inheritable trait I also think it should be remain weird and mysterious and sinister.

Animus magic thoughts
Ouhhh my first real post methinks
Been thinking a lot about Animus magic and how it could work in wings of fire and mayhaps how I have built up a system that would sort of fix the main magic issues in the main series
Animus magic isn't, an all powerful all spell casting magic, it instead has different levels of magic. Most Animus dragons can do some limited magic- like, say, make something similar to orcas statue, or turtles bowl. Some dragons are more powerful, and can create things like a whole palace, or enchant someone to be an entirely different dragon. Kind of a sliding scale, still not fully sure on exactly how powerful certain things are, but the general gist is that most Animus dragons cannot do crazy things. It's the reason why enchanted objects just have one use, an Animus dragon cannot just make something that will, for example, protect the queen from any danger and make her invincible. They'd only be able to possibly, protect her from assassination attempts, or natural disasters, or something like that. A bit of their soul, and a lot of energy that takes a while to recover from, is taken from them every time they cast huge spells.
Then, there's true Animus dragons. These are the ones that can truly do any sort of spell, but many don't simply because they don't know that they can, and everything they've heard about Animus magic is that you have to be specific and you can only do one thing whatever. These Animus dragons are WAY rarer than regular Animus dragons, like, one every few hundred years rare.
In the sort of world building au thingy I've been building up, most Animus dragons are regular Animus dragons. Stonemover is turning to stone because he pushed himself too far with the tunnels, Arctic's soul was visibly rotting from using too much magic and constantly wearing himself out, etc etc. The only two true Animus dragons in the series were the first Jerboa, Darkstalker, and Turtle. That's why Arctic also wasn't able to get Darkstalker "under control", Darkstalker's magic was so much stronger than his own. It's why the tribe fled, they'd never seen magic that could be cast so easily with so little effort.
Turtle is a true Animus, he made his sister an Animus, and he was the only one able to sort of "outdo", in a way, Darkstalkers magic. I imagine in the au thingy, it's also why he won the Animus fight against Anemone so easily, she wore herself out very quickly with all the spells she was casting, and he was able to get the jump on her.
Jerboa the third isn't a true Animus, but her magic is strong. I don't think her getting rid of Animus magic will happen in the au, but if it did, it would've been such a huge, strong spell, that it would've withered her away and killed her. It probably would be a risk she willingly took- and probably didn't even achieve. Not sure, idk if it'll even happen in the au, but yeah!!

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 3:
Animus magic straight-up doesn't exist anymore for at least until the next generation is born.
Jerboa, Stonemover, Turtle, and Anemone are just normal dragons now. And if neither Sunny nor Jerboa end up having children, (a reasonably likely possibility for both) then that will leave the SeaWing royal family as the only ones in the world capable of producing an Animus dragon.

So I’ve been thinking about animus magic and how I would go about writing it. I think it would be cool if animus magic was a collection of unique abilities/superpowers that weren’t connected to any tribe. And it can also make preexisting abilities stronger and more prominent. Maybe they’re blessings/curses from an ancient dragon god, The Great Ice Dragon perhaps? And maybe those animus dragons could transfer their powers to non-living things like rocks and jewelry and stuff. Yea that would be cool.

you know what? it'd be fun if animus magic worked as something you saved up over time.
like, if you went a few years without ever using it you could perform a big spell and it would succeed. but, if you use it on a bunch of small spells multiple times a day with no cooldown in-between the chances spell failures would increase.

I love the fact that Turtle could've ruined the economy with their magic bowl that can duplicate money and literally just used it for extra leftovers. Absolute legend for that tbh

There isn't actually any rules to animus magic, the person who tried to bring someone back from the dead messed up with the spell so it didn't work.

Oh my god, have I told you all about my ideas for an actual consequence for animus magic? Animus curses?
So, I had this idea like a year or two back. The idea is simple, every time an animus makes a spell or enchantment, something happens to them. They aren't all the same. In fact, they are usually something that greatly bothers the animus in particular in some way, either by reminding them of some great terrible thing they've done or going against their desires. This isn't just limited to spoken spells either. Using something like Darkstalker's scroll does the same thing (which is explicitly shown with Chameleon and him being affected by his own curse).
Depending on the strength of the spell, the curse progresses further. If something drastic were to happen, lets say sending a full-on plague to the IceWings, it would cause the curse to progress further. Something small like levitating a rock does very little to the animus on the other hand.
Here are some examples.
Darkstalker - Takes on a more IceWing-like appearance, becoming more and more like his father
Arctic - Becomes incredibly sharp and freezing to the touch, preventing him from even being around those he once loved
Turtle - Scales become brighter and more noticeable, allowing him to be seen more easily and making it harder to blend in and remain quiet
Albatross - Being more sensitive to sound, something that makes it so him constantly being yelled at by Lagoon and tormented by her all the more unbearable

Darkstalker: Black/Red/Glittery/Smoky
Fathom: Blue/Grey/Foggy/Velvety
Albatross: Bright Red/Foggy
Turtle: Green/Pink/Glittery
Anenome: Pearlescent/Translucent/Velvety
Orca: Orange/Green/Glittery
Jerboa I & III: Black/Starry/Foggy
Stonemover: Silver/Pink/Foggy/Heavy
Arctic: Silver/Light Blue/Glittery/Translucent

Sometimes I forget Animus is like an actual word and not something tui made up and whenever I hear it in anything unrelated to WOF I get so confused

Animus magic
"The first dragons of Pyrrhia used their magic to feed their families and protect themselves, they lived well and without rules, but because of this over time the magic disappeared along with the dragons so it returned to the tribes and now all the tribes can use magic with laws that animus and help them"
(This is just a headcanon of animus magic, don't take it too seriously it's just something I liked)
Tumblr media
My headcanon about animus magic is no big deal
This curved line with pastel colors represents animus magic, for the tribes the color of the magic would be soft colors as if it reflected the soul of the dragon
those stripes on the hand are animus track stripes, for them the animus has pastel colored stripes on the face, chest and hand
The reason is that each part represents something, the face represents the vision of magic in this case wisdom, the specific chest above the heart means the soul, the physical form of magic within the dragon and the hands which is the greatest concentration of magic that Uses to create and enchant objects
Very vibrant colors that don't match well and dark spots represent the corruption of the soul, when the soul turns into something bad it contaminates the magic and so the dragon's body is full of these not-so-smooth spots and stripes that show that his soul is now it's pure evil
it's not that much since it's more about the vision of magic for the tribes and the supposed colors of it, if you liked it I'm happy
