Newton’s Binding
This spell seems like a fragment of a larger complex branch of ancient higher magic.
But alone it is just a very small piece. I’m sure you’re used to that.
While touching 2 objects or surfaces, that are in contact with each other, link them together with a force that would take Elder Gods to separate!
Force works on the scale:
Light pressure-------------------Elder God
Only 1 link may be maintained at any time, when a new link is formed the previous will dissipate.
Core Trait creation forced by stabilisation and restructuring.
Core Trait created through fusion of items:
The Greater Principles of Geomancy by Archmage Holmezephus
And:
Crest of the Druid
Core trait created: {[Sleeping Giant]}
This Core trait was created through the resonance of a Greater Artefact rated Grimoire of Earth which granted [Terrain Manipulation] and a High Earth Affinity. The Crest of a Journeyman Druid of the Order of the Verde granting nature mana regen and the [Green Man] skill. Lastly an Unknown Blessing.
The resulting trait benefits are as follows:
The longer the user stays in one area, the greater the mana efficiency of the user’s skills, spells and traits while in that area, decreasing mana cost (only nature or earth aligned). ‘Area’ can be defined as any space with clear boundaries however the larger the area the longer it will take for the mana efficiency to increase. When the user crosses the boundaries and leaves the area the effect resets. The cap is 25% mana cost.
As the user falls asleep they may choose to possess the land within the region defined as ‘Area”. While possessing the land the user may cast [Terrain Manipulation] an unlimited number of times.
[Terrain Manipulation] is a spell that allows for the manipulation of the all matter composing the lands surface within sight of the caster. ‘Lands surface’ being defined as the natural top layer of the planet’s surface to a depth of 100 metres.
Alert! Thread and cover of, The Greater Principles of Geomancy, have left behind remnants of mana.
Resonance detected with Loner’s Companion.
Loner’s Companion has developed the enchantment {Titan’s Tome}.
Loner’s Companion has had its durability significantly increased and can now regenerate durability.
Pages can be written on with earth mana.
Resonance with Bloodline Trait and spell Miner’s Lantern detected. Bloodline trait: [Miner] Unlocked Miner You have a natural knack for mining. Mana remnants converted to trait: [Pele’s Hair] Your hair becomes a naturally occurring glass fibre.

The Verant Chronicles - Book One
The once powerful Verant Empire had been brought to its knees after seven years of civil war. The war maybe over, a new emperor maybe at the helm, but the empire remains broken. Deadly plagues, encroaching monsters, divided political loyalties only scratch the surface of the problems the empire now faces. Highwaymen make the roads unsafe, powerful wizards go unchecked and goblin hordes threaten local towns and villages. Elwin doesn’t want to spend his days as a farmer and dreams of adventure. He, his brother Rith, best friend Emerson and adopted cousin Anna, decide to go out into this world as adventurers hoping to seek fame and fortune just like in the books they read. The empire is at a crossroads as Elwin and his friends experience the aftermath of the war, they must come to terms with what it means to live in the Verant Empire as one of it's citizens. It all begins with an intriguing map sewn into cloth, written in a strange language and depicting a place that doesn’t seem to exist. Elwin and his friends decide to go to the capital city to join the adventurer’s guild and find someone who can translate the map and hopeful recognize the locations depicted. Along the way they encounter lizard creatures, goblins, former soldiers, a bard, druid and a powerful wizard who has his own eye on the map. They meet new friends and create deadly enemies. From great plains to a bustling metropolis, to a town devastated by an earthquake, their world of Gaia has a gritty realism to it and the empire is only a small part of a much large realm. It is a Romanesque world teetering on a renaissance in which Gods, gunpowder, armored knights, griffin riders and magic coexist uneasily. Elwin and his companions drink, they swear, they have sexual encounters, they make mistakes and face serious moral dilemmas at every turn. Planned out to be 30+ chapters in total including a prologue and epilogue. Chapters will be released about twice a week when possible.

Modded Skyr*m: Real Life Edition
It seems that I died while I was playing VR Skyr*m. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the middle-aged man who called himself The Overlord of Dremora and Dragons. He told me they were releasing Skyr*m: Real-Life Edition. However, you have to be dead first to play it, and I was chosen as a 'beta tester' of sorts. I found myself in a semi-realistic (thanks to mods) world, and I want to have fun and relax for the rest of my life, and maybe get back to Earth. There's just a small *RAWR* problem. Setting: This happens within the world in The Legend of the Fake Hero, specifically two arcs from now. About: I am writing this for fun as a side project. I intend this to be semi-interactive as I will have polls where readers can influence the book's direction. I have the final say because I believe that too many cooks in the kitchen are not a good thing. The plan is to write it in parts that are around 1-2k words. Typically around every 3 to 6 parts, they will be combined into a finalized chapter and re-edited for a smoother read. Release schedule: When I feel like it. I'll be more inclined to write if there is more interaction, both in comments and polls, towards the story. However, I will be focusing on The Legend of the Fake Hero because that is something I own entirely and enjoy. I will try to do consistent uploads. Disclaimer: This work falls under fair use as it is a partial parity, does not affect the value of the original work, is an original story within the setting (within my setting), and is not being sold. All IP belongs to their respective owners (including myself). Currently uploading on Scribble Hub and Royal Road under the same username.
