”So without further yammering and warbling, here’s Madame Solapo with today’s tides of magic!”
“Thank you dear. You sure do know how to talk an old lady’s ears off. Just let me toss the crystals and I’ll tell you how the tides are feeling today.”
The old rabbit tosses a blue, triangular crystal into a worn but ornate box. It bounces a bit before settling, adding that tiny bit more of scratches already marked all over the wood. She takes a moment to gauge things.
”Oh, it seems the melancholic humors are in Flow today. A stark contrast to the heat, but the Purple Beggar never was one to be swayed by the weather. Makes for a good time to start writing a book, or to see a comedy show if you’re particularly sensitive.”
Magic is generally defined as several forces flowing and ebbing, one such set of forces are The Humors inside of us. When a force is in Flow all spells associated with it may be cast as long as you follow the appropriate requirements.
Madame Solapo tosses another crystal into the box, this time green. In a moment she announces the results.
”Aah, the spirits of anima are once again feeling feisty. Their tides are Gibbous today. A good fortune for you animal lovers out there. I myself may have a conversation with my quillfish.”
Forces that are Gibbous are considered to be in abundance, however this only affects spells which are already in Flow. The few spells that fulfill both of these conditions may be cast freely, without needing their requirements met. So they may be cast without an incantation or an implement. Spells that require ingredients, such as potions, will still need components but they will no longer need to be magical in nature to function.
Finally, the elderly host tosses one more crystal. A red one this time. She frowns as it comes to a stop.
”Oh dear, oh dear. It seems the sanguine humors are in Detriment for now. Longing for spring for now, I suppose.”
Forces that are in Detriment are limited during this tide. If a spell is normally in Flow but is in Detriment it may be cast normally but only once per that day. After that, you may not cast them until their tide flows again.
”Well, that’s todays reading, dearies. I hope to see you next time and may the tides turn in your favour.”
