So I decided to make a rolling thread for posting of any extra material you guys request. For example when I write an alternate path to show you how that works and the like. This week it's the answer to how the whole spell assembly thing worked.

So basically there were 3 spell groups and each group had 3 possible results (worked, failed, silly). Basically I would take the first word as what type of spell it would be and then the other two would define how it worked. So working from the top:

Ras: This was actually a typo on my part. I meant to use Rus, which can be vaguely translated as 'countryside'

Mico: Can mean to 'glimmer' or 'flash', also to 'shake' or 'quiver'

Eurus: More or less this is 'wind', but it's wind with an easterly direction

As to how they made spells...

Ras: Something involving the surrounding landscape

Mico: Storm or earthquake

Eurus: A local tornado

Combining then you got:

Ras Mico Eurus: (worked) A 'flash' of wind that tore up the sandy dune. Or rather, a sandstorm. Would impress the shamans.

Ras Eurus Mico: (failed) A really strong sandstorm that would blow Vaik off his feet into the deep desert alone.

Mico Ras Eurus: (failed) A huge earthquake would shake the dunes, burying Vaik and infuriating the shamans.

Mico Eurus Ras: (silly) A sudden storm would appear over the camp. And it would rain...fish.

Eurus Ras Mico: (worked) A sudden tornado would tear through the camp, frightening the shamans

Eurus Mico Ras: (silly) A tornado would appear...but it would only be a foot tall.

So that's how it was set up. I didn't bother figuring out further effects from the spells, since I was only planning on writing on one of them. And I know there's two groups of winds spells, this was intentional, although I will not say why yet. Perhaps if the story moves to where it matters.

Raining fish would have been amazing XD

Hahah.. yes it would...

My whole reasoning failed because of a typo Thanks for extras, Szczepan!

Yeah Sorry Etherlord. I like making my little secrets overcomplicated, but you kinda do need the correct clues to start with. I'll make sure if we do something like that again to be extra careful.

Hey, we had a clue, latin! I was wrong about the Ras, but looks like Mico Eurus could be looked up in dictionary as well
