Techno Witch Equivalency
"Candle Magick": If you want to use candles in tech magic, you can program something like this code I wrote (on my github).
The length of time the candle "burns" can be made random to mimic irl candles, and any additional effect of burning the candle in your irl magic could be included by adding more functions to the code.
"Divination": BOOM. Here's one I made earlier...
This one allows you to pick cards from a digital Tarot deck and will spit out an interpretation at the end, too.
(N.B. - Additional spreads and alternate interpretations could easily be incorporated, but this is a proof of concept and it works!)
"Tea Spells": Haven't come up with an equivalent for this yet... maybe this one is just better in the analogue world.
"Crystals": Computers are real good at doing simulations of repetitive things. Given that that's literally a key component of the definition of a crystal, making simulations of them should be straightforward.
I haven't done a version of this yet, but I can think of a hundred different ways to abstract the idea of a crystal lattice and the magic comes with it into software.
(Bonus points for acknowledging that most silicon is crystalline and that's what makes your computer's brain work!)
"Visualisation": You can do this with no physical components whatsoever... so you wouldn't need anything digital unless you really wanted it!
"Sigils": I've already seen others suggest using tools like craiyon (used to be DALL-E mini) to make sigils for any search term you can think of!
You could also make your own software to do this, following your own rules, if you prefer!
(All of the above was based on having encountered this post.)

What did WBN reformat your opinion on Dnd about?
Oh hey! Yeah, uhm so basically i was so blown away that you could tell such an interesting story and make the characters feel so powerful just at lvl.1
Like, to ME, lvls 1-3 have always been breezed through in just a few sessions because everyone wants their cool subclass abilities at lvl.3. but listening to WWWO made me rly realize that the journey really IS more important than the destination in a really meaningful way.
Like the s1 finale was the most heart wrenching piece of storytelling i might've heard Ever and That was going from lvl.1 to 2!
Like you can really make anything meaningful if you go in with that type of mindset and it has been just,, an interesting thought exercise of like,, How can i make this meaningful Now, not in three to ten levels, Now !
Ya kno?
NOT TO MENTION THEY PLAYED THEIR FIRST MINI ARC AT LVL ZERO LIKE OMG I WANNA DO THAT !!
