Prompt/Game: Magical Qualities & Sensations
Time to play a game! In this one, to help build out your magic system a bit more or help others discover more about it, we're using qualities and sensations to relate back to aspects of your magical system. It can relate to anything - users of your magic, those who police magic, its limits, the magic itself, how you've built the system so on and so forth. With that said, here are some qualities and sensations:
- Soft (for ex, and you can use this to help with all the other items below: you might have a soft magic system, or magic may have a soft ring to it when used. Or blue magic actually feels soft in your system or world, or maybe utilizing magic in your system turns people into softies... go wild with your imagination and creativity!)
- Sticky
- Vibrant
- Sweet
- Heavy
I'll add bonuses the more responses we get, as well as some bonus questions for those who answer. Have fun!

Magic a naturally made energy that is around everything from a river flowing to a baby crying. Those who use magic can be overwhelmed by some of its effects depending on what’s being done. Say someone accepts a boon from a spirit of love and devotion as they cast a spell their submerged in crazed euphoria. This can even extend to other feelings depending on the ritual or spell being done. Invoking baccus can leave a caster drunk as they dance with the taste of sweet fruits in their mouth.
Witches with enough power can perform a special skill (still working on naming it). It lets a witch create a field of that effects all those within it for example creating fog that causes sorrow or a dark light the induces madness on all those it shines on. This power is basically expressing the base definition of your personality on the world meaning it is unique for every witch that can do it.
Love it! Lots of qualities and senses going on here. How about round? Is there anything that has this quality, uses a sense that's circular, or is there anyway that this word plays into your magic system (or world, if applicable)?
Thanks and the circle actually is very significant in my story. A common spell is using a liquid like tears or blood to draw a circle that elicit harmony or protection. The ouroboros serpent is an immutable symbol used in changing things and is hinted to be living on a level beyond the gods.
Circles are also used in rituals done with multiple people so as a way to connect and pool their power together.
