Thanks! He's my first crack at a magus within the Nasuverse, so I was a bit worried about whether he'd be quality. I appreciate your words, and maybe I'll write up a profile on his sister soon!

Basic Information

Name: Tristan Leigh (pronounced like Lee)

Alias/Nickname/Title: Newest non-’live-in’ butler to the Gaines Estate

Gender: Male

Age: 21

I see, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

I know one's elemental affinity can be changed into their origin, but is it possible to have a duel affinity with your origin and common element? Like, say, earth and sword, or fire and void.

You make a good point. I suppose it might just be nerves from not posting anything to a public forum like this before. I think I'll write a bit more, and post it within the next few days, and just be...

Hey, I've written about 6 and a half pages of this fic so far in a google doc, and I'm about worried about posting any of it. I've read a few fics on the site, and they all seem much more interesting...

Good idea! Thank you, I appreciate it, I think I'll do that!

I can definitely see the arguement that it's not necessary to focus on the minutiae, I also ask out of genuine curiousity for myself. Even outside of wanting to write a story, I want to know because...

That's a good idea. I think I like that more than the alternative.

Sure does, but I dunno. Sounds like something a magus would do. Why trust some young kid with a crest when you could surely put it to better use, you know? And given the butler's circumstance, he's...

That was definitely the plan. The beginning of the story would be the butler dealing with the extreme rejection due to it's shoddy transfer as he searched for a tuner. Until he found one, it would...

I was thinking of writing a story about a young magus, not particularly talented, whose circumstance led him to a life resigned as a butler to the main family his was connected to. Through some...

Thank you, sorry for the bother!

Is there a thread where I can brainstorm? I have ideas for my plot, but I don't think of myself as especially talented, so I enjoy brainstorming.

With others, I should...

Hey, another question. So, as I'm getting into character creation, and I'm getting a bit stuck on a few things. To start, magic circuits.

I know an average magus has 20, and people like Rin have...

Ah, I see. I've definitely heard the Clarke quote before in things like time travel stories. But, no, I have no specific character in mind atm. A lot of my inspiration to write was gained from...

I dunno who that is.

Fair enough. I need to remember magi feverishly hunt after the root. I suppose, in a general sense as I'm writing, I'll just try to think 1.) How great of a mystery is trying to be achieved --> 2.)...

Excuse me, btw. I realize throughout this thread, I've just vomited my stream of thought as I've been responding. Sorry if it makes me sound dense, but anyway.

Given that's the case, would you...

Ah, I see. Nitpicking is fine! I'd rather know than not know.

Ah, so like, in the case of teleportation, a regular human could take a plane from, say, Japan, to England. A mage would, instead, teleport. While the teleportation may be instant, an advantage over...

Thank you very much! Since making my post, I've gone and read what has been translated of El-Melloi Case Files. I'm glad I did, because it has explained things much better than just the manga, and...

Just wanted to say thank you very much for translating these books! I have no talent for translation myself, and learning japanese just so I could read these books seems like a hassle, so you're...

Yo, so I'm trying to get the mechanics of magecraft down so I can write some fan fiction, and I feel like I'm missing something. I've read a good chunk of the OP's pdf under the "normal magecraft"...

Hello. I'm Tydvs (pronounced Titus, like the Roman Emperor), and I've just joined this forum. I've never really used one before, and I'm not sure where to start, so I figured I'd come here. I'm...
