Magick on the Fly - Thursday, 6/18 - Period Four
"Today's class is rather specific," she had to admit as her students filed in, "but something I've found extremely useful in my time. It is also something that almost anyone with magical ability can use as well as something that is allowed by rule of law even in my own world."
That last part was for Jackif he was here.
She held up a string.
"Knot magic. One of the most common bits of thaumaturgy you're likely to find, one of the simplest to perform, and one of the most powerful. There's something psychologically satisfying to tying a knot... or untying a knot, as the case may be, which is why this form of magic shows up in any number of cultures over the years. Your supplies are simple enough and the uses are varied, though the effect can be subtle. Subtle, however, is not always a bad thing."
She passed out a page on the history of knot magic for them to read later, as well as a few more handouts on the basis of knot magic, and some basic workings with knot magick.
"They can also be prepared ahead of time, worn on your person unobtrusively, and if disguised cleverly, given to someone without their knowledge of it's power. While this is ethically dubious in some cases, I believe we're all familiar with the fact that life doesn't care much for politeness at times."
She leaned back.
"Today, I'd like you to take some of the providedmoddable string and rope and work on the spells that might be the most useful to you. Work alone, together, discuss thoughts with the basic theory: whatever you like. I'll be here if you have any questions."
