The CBB

For males it's the traditional 9 months, for females it is 12 months. The mother also loses her magic during the process.

In my story's world, witchcraft is a respected institution, with the most powerful practitioners being at the top echelons of society. Due to this, society traces its lineage through matrilineal lines. Witchcraft is exclusive to the female line. Ritual magic involves using the mana of the world and ...

i actually did come up with the daemon-children idea so thanks. the daemons are basically part of the witch's soul, so they are loyal and obedient. however, they have their various personalities and some will be more difficult than others. some are talkative like donkey from shrek, others barely sp...

I watched a series called "Game of Thrones" in which a priestess called The Red Woman conceives a shadow demon and uses it to kill the enemies of the king she served. It seemed like an interesting concept, so I tried to include it into my world. This setting takes place in an alternate ver...

supernatural pregnancies like the virgin births have played a role in mythological myths and modern media, such as Anakin Skywalker and the midiclorians. Most of those stories mostly skip over real world consequences and uncomfortable questions. What I was interested in doing was deconstructing that...

How would I go about setting up my own thread and attracting readers?

What role should eunuchs play in a matriarchial-led religion? Magic has been a fundamental part of humanity's development. It has existed since it's begining, and has been an essential part of its dominant religion which plays a role in the lives of millions around the world. Magic is seen as a gift...

When a person dies, their soul doesn't ascend to the afterlife automatically. The soul build's a connection with its body while alive, and remains attached to that body in death. Through natural decomposition, the soul gradually loses its connection to the mortal realm. At some point, when the body ...

Magic is drawn from an alternate dimension and used to alter reality in the world around you. It generally involves three steps. The first is tapping into this other realm and drawing energy from it into your body. This is a slow, arduous process that cannot be rushed. Every spell has its own time f...

What do people think of this concept? How can it be expanded upon? I like the concept much! Daine rarely make permanent tattoos on their bodies, and those will typically be clan or family symbols. That they call tioderi . They otherwise make great use of a henna-like substance for the application o...

I actually thought I came up with the idea. I've never heard of body art or tattoos being used in this way .

Body art, or henna, is an important element in this society. This art is painted on the skin and applied with magic. They are semi-permanent and remain on the users skin, only being removed as needed by other magical items. It is not mandatory to wear, but very popular and widely used by men and wom...

A succubus has been summoned from hell to our realm by a fool using an ancient text called "demonic pacts for dummies "(placeholder title don't worry). The ritual goes horribly wrong due to incorrect information and resulted in the summoner''s death. The succubus is now free to roam our re...

In my research I came across a culture that believed women were the ones to pass on their genes to offspring. Men however, didn't pass on their genes, but their spirit. The spirit was the seat of personality for the human being, and the place where attributes and characteristics precided. Good as we...

I have an idea for a setting with a magic theocracy that i would like feedback on. This nation operates as a matriarchy with women in most of the top leadership positions. After listening to opinions from others , I discovered that most find it unrealistic for a matriarchy to remain in power for lon...
