Runes and Glyphs: A treatise on manipulation of first world power

Runes and Glyphs (google docs)

Good afternoon Junior Archivist. Today you will begin your first lesson on the basics of blue magic! If you work hard and study well, you may prove yourself a capable servant of the Bodite Crown!

Now, before you open your text a brief recap on the essentials:

You all are 'linked,' persons born with a connection to the first world allowing you to use magic.

Whenever magic is used, it affects you, causing mage drunkenness. This effect steadily builds up causing your wits to leave you and your power to temporarily increase!

This class is for blue magic, although there are other kinds. However, this form of spell craft values intelligent, precision, and patience.

Open your texts and read through chapter 3, then we can discuss what you learned!

(Thanks for taking the time to look at a side project for my world building! This document is a WIP, and is not intended as a full explanation of my magic system, but a "in universe" telling of how it looks practically. I use a stylized font, but the last page of the document has plain text if that is easier to read!

I look forward to hearing what people think.)

First timer - how did I do?

So my wife was out of town, so I decided to try and suprise her when she got back with "smelly good stuff". But lately I have found such stuff way too expensive, so I looked up how to make soap (and candles) home made!

A friend suggested candlescience which I found easy to source stuff from. So after ordering supplies I was ready!

I made a viriety of different kinds, although all scented in the "ozone" and "citrus" ranges, which my wife favors.

The patterns are from a game we mutually love called "book of hours". I have a 3d printer and made stamps to press an inlay, then filled with a liquid of isopropyl alcohol and activated charcoal. After the alcohol evaporated I was left with clear dark lines. Was a bit messy wiping off the oversplash though.

Sorry if I am rambling. Just excited for marginal success! Would live any tips or suggestions to improve - or ideas to try in the future. I suspect this wont be my last go at this!
