The Journey

According to Callum this is the path of the journey they took to return Zym to his mother at the Storm Spire

When the tales of Xadia talks about the star primal, they said it is the most powerful of the primals and has reality bending powers. That does seem to imply that all primal magic came from the stars.

That's one interpretation - or two? Do you mean that primal magic could've been created from manipulating Star magic, or that it was created by Startouch elves?

Either is possible, since Star magic is the one we know the least about, in lore and in meta. And there's just as likely a chance that something else is at work, too, all things considered.

One of my favorite things about TDP is that it takes a leaf from Tolkien's book and lets the texts themselves have limited and even incorrect perspective, as if they were written by real people in real time and then frozen in the TDP timeline that way. (Which they kind of were, since time only flows one way.)

The overall effect of this is exquisite to me: Callum was very certain about everything he wrote in his Spellbook, but was he always correct? Signs point to No. Yet the very inaccuracies in the text lend themselves to a greater enjoyment of TDP lore as a whole - Callum's Spellbook is not canon-perfect, but it is meta-canon, and that in itself can spark such fun thoughts and discussions.

That's ever so much more fun, don't you agree?

I’ve been wondering, can Ocean mages breathe underwater?

#the dragon prince #callum #shut up right now tdp #Callum’s spellbook continues to be an absolute TREASURE TROVE #….am I currently thinking way too much about ocean magic for my dumb inn fic? YOU BET I AM

Viren opening a book about Aaravos and the only thing he catches before the whole thing goes black is “...dead for 300 slutty, slutty years”

#//this is a shitpost ik that callums spellbook has what those pages actually said but. #aaravos #viren #viravos #tdp

Sometimes I'm sad then I remember that it's canon that sorvus has a dry sense of humor and once Callum said that he had a wet sense of humor

#corvus did not laugh #he just. nodded #the source is callum's spellbook in case you're curious #it's im his strengths/special skills #the dragon prince #callum #corvus #tdp

I'm done watching season 5 of the Dragon Prince nooo 😭

#tdp #tdp season 5 #it was good #got more invested in it than s4 and makes me reaffirm my love for this series #i was kinda afraid that id love the first three seasons so much that the next part couldn't be as good #but im good #torture to wait for s6 haha #also now i want to buy tdp novels and callum's spellbook but im broke so no #maybe in a future where i have more money #i mean i have the two first graphic novels but only digital

[kradogsrats]

like... what it all boils down to for me is that the still-lingering tell-don’t-show aspects of the “Dark magic is bad” narrative thesis carry a strong whiff of “this is bad because the designated moral authority says so,” and if you don’t recognize that the concept of designated moral authority has been dead fucking wrong about literally everything like 70% of the time historically, and therefore why I may find that we are expected to just accept that a little bit troubling, I really don’t know where the conversation is going to be able to go from there?????

#callum's recollection of sarai in his spellbook-journal: 'dark mages go to hell' #'including probably your teenage friend' #but ok then #like ngl i think there's a lot to interrogate about this #regarding things like queercoding of villains within my lifetime and fandom generational divides and idek what else #queerness and 'evil' or neurodivergence and 'evil' and disability and 'evil' and everything along those lines #that as much progress has been made has not been fully excised from media consciousness #anyway i'll have you all know that 'stan' is an ugly word and i'm a dark magic APOLOGIST

Thinking also about “It’s just me, I’m alone” and “I’m going into the portal alone” and “Viren is alive, Callum, and I am going to search for him… ALONE” and “Callum couldn’t let Rayla carry that burden alone” and “I couldn’t let Rayla do it on her own” and “We’re in this together” and “That’s the most important thing: together”

K last one (bc I can't reblog with a vid). Redo of this one, the colours on the first one had always been an issue so I used faux suede of a closer colour instead

This is more of a showerthought (that may become a longer meta later), but there does appear to be some sort of relationship between Dark Magic and Star Magic.

Callum mentions there is a Star spell that lets one recreate bodies for captured spirits. Which is interesting because that doesn’t seem to have much to do with divination or destiny (what Stars are mostly associated with), but sounds instead like a Dark Magic spell.

But then on the other hand, it does make a lot of sense when you think about what the Stars represent. In Callum’s Spellbook, Callum does point out that “Star magic” is really more like “cosmic magic.” It’s not just the stars themselves, but the cosmos as a whole that represents this primal source. Well, what does the cosmos mostly consist of.

That’s right, darkness. The haunting emptiness from which light consist of only a small minority of space.

So maybe it’s possible that Dark Magic is a “seventh source” in the sense that it is an offshoot of Star magic, but without the guiding light of the stars, it simply leads to rampant corruption and decay.

While averting my eyes from the internet bc I am watching s5 in 12 hours, jelly tart! I followed the recipe from Callum’s Spellbook (I clearly do not know what a teaspoon looks like or even triangles sometimes but shhh)
