secondlina:I’ve been working on concepts for our upcoming comic “Quibbling“ lately. I was reading a lot about familiars, talismans and amulets and found something really neat about all of those things. Magic is often associated with known (sometimes religious) symbols, but a a lot of magic is very personal. Medieval familiars were creatures with forms the "witch” decided or found attractive. A lot of magic symbols are just shapes that came to the users mind. Doodles with significance only to them. It’s the personal significance, the emotional connection, that gave them power. Modern practical magic kinda goes back to that. Using Pavlovian responses, soothing smells, tastes and colors. Gave me the idea of maybe splitting the world of Quibbling between Grand-magic and Small-magic (Practical-magic?) Not sure what to do with that yet. The lead of the story, Cid, is the type to wear patterns and carry cute things because she believes it would bring her luck. I love that type of character. Here’s a few practical magical examples I thought you guys would dig. -- source link
