Sigils.

[ttlanhil]

a lot of people ask how long sigils last for, if they can lose them, etc.

my answer to this is generally to think of them like a magical tattoo, you get it once, you can never lose it. and to cast a spell, you activate them in order.

if this sounds okay, perhaps something about this idea could be added to the magic shops selling sigils, to say that a sigil is permenantly burned(whatever) into your skin. then people know they can't lose them, and why it isn't in their inventory

I say they are magic words. You can't forget them. It's like when you first summon a bike.

 

Whenever I don't feel like walking I yell "Move change global space!" and I cast the spell.

 

It sounds funny. "Restore life!"

 

Then every now and again my index finger just fizzes instead of actually doing a spell. And then I'm fighting and shouting and waving my fizzing sparkling finger and I just can't get any health back at all.

 

Yep, magic words.

[ttlanhil]

yeah, that works, too, just the word 'sigil' and the graphics makes me think of something drawn on

 

whatever is used, makinf the magic shop person announce that it's permenant would be good (as i don't think it did last time i bought one)
