| Assignment #20 "Oct. 20 - "Definitions List:" "Setting: Definitions List" (1) Create a list of definitions (see below) in a format easy to edit and expand. (2) Optional: Brainstorm and describe an object critical to the plot. Add to definitions list. In your definitions list, you'll flesh out details that you'll want to remember later for consistency. You won't have to dig through pages of scribbled notes to find whatever you decided about these definitions - they will all be compiled into a neat list / binder / database / note cards / whatever your favorite form of organization happens to be. Example definitions for the Harry Potter series:  rules of magic the Ministry of Magic modes of transportation (apparition, Floo network, portkeys, flying, etc.) the four Houses at Hogwarts the sword of Gryffindor (note: this would also make a good plot background story*)Non-speculative examples requiring definitions: a fictional student organization to which your protagonist belongs the fictional company or division of the FBI for whom your protagonist works the disease afflicting a character, which is a real condition you need to research the antique artifact your protagonist intends to heist*see Contest Round 4 NOTE: You can revise this list at any time (and that's the point!), so this revision is not expected to be fully accurate or complete. Rules of Magic Magic is usually something a person is born with. Having a natural ability which often needs to be honed by either attending a school or working as an apprentice. In some circumstances, very rarely, there are people who can obtain magic abilities and be able to use them, usually though it is because at one point they had the ability and through specific types of magic, it was removed from them. Types of magic:  Conjuring Magic Elemental Physical Shadow Magic Time Magic Elemental MagicDifferent from Elemental conjuring, in that they can control the elements, where conjuring is creating the elements Summoning Magic SpellweaversMagic was believed to have come from the Gods. A few of the Gods slept with mortals and the results were the different types of magic. It is also why the hatred/fear against those who have magic, which leads people to keep it hidden. Though there are some kingdoms that believe it is a gift from the Gods and are the ones who have schools and apprenticeships. What's it Cost? Chemical energy. It's like any kind of physical activity, you can do it for as long as you have the energy for it. You can also work and practice the magic to extend the chemical energy so that you can use it more/longer or learn stronger spells. This also limits the person for how often they can use their magic or what types of spells/magic they can use. Lists of Gods Making a list of the main gods and their children Ota - Goddess who Gave Life Aagi - God of Winter Original Ten Gods and their children - Uikhi Ancient Ten - Inir Realms Earth Klesosia IoferothProphecy In shadows deep where silence weeps, The magic of the dead shall wake from sleep. A babe is born ‘neath blood-red skies, Whose cry will bind the earth and rise. From Ioferoth’s abyssal gate, Demons stir to test the fate. Neither blade nor flame shall sever, The bond the Chosen wields forever. In the Chosen's hands, the spirits dance, A power born of death’s expanse. Beware the child, both curse and key, For in their breath lies destiny. When twilight meets the breaking dawn, The realms of life and death are drawn. The magic of the dead, the demon’s breath, Will shape the world and seal its death—or birth. |
