MAGIC

This topic will be for posting your experiances with Eragon style or Harry Potter style magic in your LDs

-What spells do you enjoy?
-how do you summon your magic?
-what do you use your magic for?

Some ways to cast spells are…

  1. firmly say what you want to do (if you want to shoot fire say “FIRE”, etc.)
  2. if you want more of an affect of using spells, you can say what you want only backwards (“ERIF” would be the spell for fire, etc.)
  3. in your waking life come up with a list of spells for different things, memorize them, and use them in your LDs
  4. use spells from books (if you want to shoot fire you can use the Eragon spell for fire, which is “BRISINGR”, etc.)

Enjoy your magic! From my experiances of magic from my LDs I can tell you first-hand that it is realy fun. Have Fun!!! :content: :content: :content:

Oh haha, this outta be fun.
I’ve read all the Eragon books (so far) and all the harry potter books.
But I think I like the Eragon books better, though.

I think i could try this. I don’t know any words in the “Ancient language” so I would have to try it harry-potter style. :tongue:

I agree, the Eragon books are realy cool :grin: :cool:

i liked the eragon books to. i know some words from the ancient language from rereading the book. btw how do you pronounce brisingr?

" brisingr " is pronounced " brih-sing-er "

Or atleast that’s how I pronounce it :content:

I use the actual spell names from HP

ya, using Harry Potter spells would probably be easier than using the ancient language from Eragon.

Alright, so I tried this in my LD last night.

I didn’t really say anything, but my plan was to make a chip bag explode.
I jush swished my arms around, but instead of it exploding, a yellow beam of light went through it and it turned to stone. :grin:

I often ask an object to do whatever I want it to. Asking a desk to disappear, for example. It seems to work, and when I try to force things to change I wake up.

When I cast spells in dreams I do them without saying the spell. I think about what I want to do and it just happens. :content: It takes a lot of willpower though. Sometimes it doesn’t work, so I just move on to something else.

I imagine it as Briss (rhymes with swiss) - ing - ger ( the growling sound, grr)

ya, now that you say it thats how i pronounce it.

come on people! i now officialy resurrect this topic!!! :beer:

ha ha good one. expelliarmus!

I’ve summoned a fireball but when I threw it I made the explosion sounds from my mouth as if it wasn’t real and the DCs thought I was crazy.

I haven’t had the chance to do any magic yet but if I’m lucky tonight I’m gonna try some harry potter spells :happy:

hmm i find different methods of magic more believable then others, of all the fictional styles ive read about it hink eragons would be most realistic, compared to say harry potter thus it is easier to do in ld’s. Which seems more believable

Harry Potter: some people are born with the ability to use magic, it is quite random, if you can use magic you have to have a stick with some sort of feather or hair in it, and shout magic words which cause magic lights to come flying out of your stick and influence the world.

Eragon: certain people have a talent for it, it is more random, but if the person can use magic, he is tapping into his own energy or drawing energy from nature and other living things, the energy in magic cant come from nowere so it has to come from a life form, which through the casters body, can create a force that can affect the world, also because all spells take energy, you can not do crazy things like revive the dead or transform your own appearence

i find the second one much more believable so i find it easier to do in ld’s you may find the first one more believeable however so do what works for you

Having read all the hp books and 2 out of 3 eragon books( I haven’t gotten my hands on # 3 yet :sad: ) I must say I agree with you :content:

just to get some discussion going, which do you guys prefer? Harry Potter, Eragon, or is there some other kind :confused:

Charmed. I’m a boy I admit but I just love the show. I mean, no wands or spells (as such), just wave your hand and the enemy explodes/freezes/orbs.
