M0th-b0nes - Hi :)

A child goes missing late one night after investigating a light emanating from their closet. The Child's teddy bear and the monster that lives under the bed must put aside their differences and form a truce in order to rescue the child.

Elements of real science I'd love to see in more fictional magic systems

Categories are defined by people, not by nature, and way looser around the edges than everyone thinks. "We like to divide spell-casting into rituals, runic magic, instantaneous spells, and curses or blessings, but the 'curse or blessing' category has more to do with how long a spell LASTS than how it's SET, and the line between ritual and inscribed runes gets really blurry in places..."

Models of 'how this works' that get taught to little kids which are fully debunked later as 'over-simplified and actually totally inaccurate, but a good way to learn, this is better', only to be replaced two years of study after that because, 'actually that was also a lie for the sake of learning, learn this one instead'. "Yes, we teach kids that planes stack in layers and sometimes holes form between them, and I know last year we covered the Humperdink Theory Of Planar Interweaving where those so-called holes are areas of enmeshment with the fibers of multiple planes at once, but today we're finally going to talk about the Planar Mosaic Model."

Frenzies of curiosity each time something unexpected happens, as wizards try to figure out, if this is a divergence from the pattern they THOUGHT they knew, then what is the bigger pattern? IE, "We've seen the Power of Friendship be insufficient to slaying this balrog for years! Why were these particular adventurers finally able to do it now?"

Basically, magic not as an objective force of the universe, but a hodgepodge thing humans made up to try and talk about and interface with the truth of the actual universe.

"Yes, we've been studying the lore and secrets of the universe for a thousand years. Things still just happen sometimes! That's why it's magic!"

The Al-Anqar family has been living through a year of war and suffering. Nader Al-Anqar is just 17, but he has been trying to raised support for his family so that they won't die. His father Ahmed is suffering from cancer, and needs expensive medication, and surgery he can't access in Gaza right now. Nader young niece, Iman, is also sick.

In Gaza, food, water, and medical care are all extremely hard and expensive to access. The Al-Anqar family needs your support to be able to get the basic necessities they need to survive. If everyone who sees this donates 5 euros, that may not be a huge amount for you, but it would make a HUGE difference for them!!!

Please, support the Al-Anqar family. They need your help to live, don't let them down!!! Please donate whatever you can, and share as widely as possible.
