16 & 17 for the writer ask?

16: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

I don't actually own that many books, nor do I have any place to borrow books from. The only books I have are textbooks, which don't really need bookmarks. As such, I don't really use bookmarks. However, I do use some sort of mark to keep a book from flipping to a different page when I go away. I just mostly use whatever I can find lying around. It's been a long time since I've last read a book, but the weirdest thing I can remember using as a bookmark was a mug. I don't recall if it was empty or not.

17: Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

Note: Parts in italics indicate out-of-universe explanations.

In Ethereal Dreams, all living creatures have a soul, regardless of whether they're natural or constructed. This soul is made up of a magical "casing" and the energy inside it. This energy stabilizes the creature's body, whether it be physical or magical. If, somehow, the soul or its magical energy were to be completely removed, the body would slowly weaken until the soul manages to recover its strength.

While a soul can never be split into parts, it can be damaged or weakened. However, the creature's body normally protects its soul from being damaged by physical or magical attacks. Damaged souls slowly heal themselves. How fast this healing occurs depends on the abundance of ambient magic in the realm where it is. A damaged soul will have a weaker ability to cast magic, as magic casting draws on the magical energy of the soul. However, if the damage to the soul is severe enough, its properties may change once it gets healed, to the point where one can argue that the healed soul is no longer the original.

Through the use of certain magical spells, a soul can be made vulnerable to direct manipulation. A mage with good-enough experience can alter the properties of an exposed soul, but this isn't the main danger of having an exposed soul. Rather, an exposed soul is vulnerable to having its magical energy being absorbed. This concept originally wasn't in this story, but the idea that spawned Ethereal Dreams kinda called for it, and I have a system of this in a different story I've been looking to write. When someone absorbs another soul's magical energy, the absorber's magical capability gets strengthened. A soul does not have to be outside its body to be exposed to manipulation, but souls outside of their bodies are much more susceptible.

If the situation's circumstances aligns just right, two creatures can fuse their souls together into a singular entity. The resulting entity will take on an appearance that resembles both of them, though it will look more like the creature with the stronger magical capability. They will have shared control of the body, but only one of them can control the body at any given time. The fused soul will retain magical properties from both souls. Specifically, they will be able to cast the realm-amplified magic of either soul. There is no recorded instance only one unknown instance of a soul fusion and as such, this is a completely unknown topic to the entire world of the story. That only instance is one of the main characters in the story, and even that was by complete accident.

This is the idea that really got me excited on writing Ethereal Dreams. It started as a what-if on Lilak Rain's Slumbertale AU but I didn't want to write that because I don't think I would be able to make a proper characterization of their characters, especially when the story is quite new. However, I didn't want to abandon the idea. After a long time of worldbuilding, a couple of storyline changes, and just overall having a hard time turning the idea into a story, here I am, with a great world to write my story on. I took quite a few concepts and ideas from various other WIPs of mine, but I think they work quite well.

As I said, I'm participating in the Moon + Seraph Pitch Week. Plus, it's about time I talked a little bit about Ethereal Dreams.

Ethereal Dreams

After accidentally discovering a world of magic hidden in dreams, Iris slowly uncovers both her past and the history of magic that the Arcane Assembly hid for decades.

Themes

belongingness

choices

accepting consequences

Current Stage in Writing

Plotting with some minor worldbuilding. Progress has been slow since I'm writing this while doing some other projects in the background, but it's still going.

Read about some of the details about the story's setting

Content Warnings

No major content warnings.

Misc. stuff

If you want to be added to a taglist, please send me an ask telling me to do so. I don't like using likes to determine if someone wants to be on a taglist.
