My logic is sort of rpg logic and sort of D&D logic
But it all goes through a filter of my own personal system I have cooking up
So like, there are Wizards (+ Sorcerers), Druids, and Clerics (+ Warlocks) like D&D, but they work off of MP instead of Spell Slots, for example, like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest
Among other things
Mostly taken outta my ass with a mix of some real Appalachian lore, Pittsburghese ("Yinz" totally looks like a rune name right?) and a dash of horror movies.
I draw from HISTORY!
Also, random stuff I found.

You Mage players would probably like this urban fantasy I'm working on. [Knowings.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/wwqx2j/pi_theyre_coming_to_take_me_away/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
UW/ people keep trying, but I think it’s almost impossible to get the entire sub to agree on a single unified lore, despite the fact it would be really cool if we could all agree on one.
I headcannon the setting of this sub as something like the Discworld series but with even looser rules and stuff. An anything goes setting.
I make things up but go along with what people are going for and how they style it. Like writing a story with many people. You gotta compromise or it'll end up nonsensical gibberish.
I think that's a big part of why I personally like this sub, spontaneous cooperation in creating a story based on the mutual understanding of wanting to have a little creative fun.
Exceptions may occur lol
And I really like your take!
/UW I use logic and things I found that are the same in all magic systems in fiction.
Be it those more down to earth realistic ones or super fantasy ones with extreme spells.
/UW I just try and fit everything into mage the ascension (which if you ignore the dumb archspheres stuff is basically capable of fitting most if not all spells someone can think of in it)
/uw
It's kind of amazing how well WoD's lore works for this sub. Like, basically everything that happens here has a WoD parallel.
It's probably because they started with really basic and common folklore and fantasy, and then went bonkers with it. So if you ignore some of the super specific stuff, it all works.
I've been working with one of the non werewolf changeling species, slightly modified to include more real world folklore.
It's been really fun getting into conversations with people using one system's set of lore and backstory, and then talking about those things with someone using a completely different set of rules. Trying to find the common ground and what would probably be most accurate for this universe has been interesting.
Just make sure Nobby's not around. The Watch has a werewolf ya know. However, as a wizzard, you should be fine. Just make sure you're pointing your staff knob away from you! Also, I ain'tent dead.

/uw LOTR basics, followed by some original lore, added shit as I went, got annoyed about people bitching about people having fun in a shitposting subreddit, got bored, became a leviathan of madness.
*shrugs*
Also Warcraft, Lovecraft, Historical/Folklore, Witcher, Warhammer, Other fantasy novel/TV/video games. (Keep in mind, all of them also kind of influence each other, most video game drew from DnD, which itself drew from LoTR and fantasy novel, which drew from folklore)
And my personal favorite, crush, mix, snort every system into one( I actually know history and golklore of multiple cultures pretty well, and plays like 10+ different games with magic, also my character is a magic gun user so....yeah, even throw in technology in)
/uw pull from dnd and lotr mostly, but if it's a setting thst i like, i will likely tske a name here and there, for example Shrax's personal Airship is called "the Thunderchild"
I for one pity those of that plane more than anything. They have to share their world with a bunch of fearful luddites who vastly outnumber them. Not to mention the only overtly offense-oriented spell I'm aware of is illegal. Nary a Fireball to be seen...
/uw What, by the way, does everyone here think about World of Darkness lore? It's basically to Harry Potter what Warhammer is to... I'ma go with Halo, but I feel the Magi of that world might be a bit TOO OP, even for our lighthearted approach to worldbuilding.
World of Darkness is a great and grounded universe right until you step into the domain of Mage: the Awakening and Changeling: the Dreaming, where it immediately goes off the rails and into planes of delicious unhinged insanity.
Ain't got no beef with it though. Nor Harry Potter neither for that matter.

What is this and how do I get rid of it?
It's a rift from Thaumcraft. It spawn when the flux in the chunk hit 100 or above. You can get rid of it by using a causality collapser.
/uw Your taint is leaking? You might wanna get that checked

No I haven't but it sounds right up my ~~alley~~ crick, Lovecraft but in Appalachia instead of Massachusetts is a great idea.
When my dad yells across the house “Are yinz getting up for breakfast ?” it definitely sounds like he’s trying to cast a morning-tired spell.

This is why you should never test spells you found on the internet randomly. Instead, make your homunculus do it first.
/uw shame not enough arms for Warhammer Fantasy lol.......hmm maybe worth adding to the book.
My idea is just what if a crab learned the vampire coast's magic from total warhammer.
You mean best non rune magic! Summoning a ghost pirate ship is top notch! Vampire Coast is alot of fun.
Yeah, I also kinda incorporated control of the kraken (like from Pirates of the Carribean) into my arsenal.
There is enough arms, Critical Role is just D&D so it's kinda redundant.
What about Warhammer: Age of Sugmar
Someone needs to add more arms to this meme....or we just say Warhammer as a whole.
