applying
To become a member of the supernatural lifestyle you must run it by and be approved by an Admin. While we want you to have the full experience of the forum and what it has to offer, keep in mind that we also want the less hassle. When applying for a supernatural being we will be some what strict about plot lines and if we think you can handle the responsibility. Not only for writing purposes, but for overall activeness as well.
general information
In the world of magic, common sense is key
There are a couple things that you must keep in mind while posting a character who can wield magic. One, is that magic is all about keeping a balance in the world. If your character does something to benefit themselves, it has to leave a negative effect somewhere. For example, if you dormant your powers in a chance to hide your characters gift, you also leave yourself vulnerable in case of an attack. Think of it as if you holstered your gun, while it's there you're not showing your intent, if someone was quick to act against you, you would be an easy target. Another note to take into consideration is you can't make something out of nothing. You may manipulate the world around you, pulling energy from the elements and yourself, or actually moving and changing the objects itself.
Second, is that knowledge is power. The more your character develops their gift the stronger they will become. Practice and reading new spells will benefit them greatly. Being around other witches will also help, since they can teach other things, and possibly swap known casts, to add to their own 'Book of Shadows'.
Another thing about magic is perception. Magic itself, is neither good or bad, but how the character chooses to wield it. Just because your character can craft a deadly cast, doesn't mean they have to use it, which therefore doesn't make their gift 'dark'. The character behind the gift chooses the outcome, and they will always have a choice.
