| − | *<b>Fire: </b> is at the heart of nearly everything he does, magically. It was through fire that he made his first contact with a spirit and by that initial bargain he has learned more and more ways to strike out at the people and things that piss him off.
| |
| − | **<b>Candles: </b> Those times when he can’t use a bonfire to add to his magic he uses candles as small points of fire set around the circles he uses to focus his power.
| |
| − | **<b>Fire Pit: </b> A few scraps of wood from an old shipping pallet, is usually enough to pull together enough fire for his average magical working - the stuff that’s more brute force than fine and precise work.
| |
| − | **<b>Bonfires: </b> This is for the BIG magic; the stuff where he’s calling up spirits, offering sacrifices and looking to make deals.
| |
| − | *<b>Bones: </b> As a physical manifestation of death, he uses bones (skulls, knuckles, femura, etc.). Skulls are his favorite focus, vertebrae are good to hold candles and femora are great for wands and to twin around for a magical circle.
| |
| − | *<b>Blood: </b> Sacrifice is important - but usually only for the big stuff. Sometimes it’s his and sometimes it’s from someone else.
| |
| − | *<b>Sex: </b> Sex can make you feel powerful - feel alive. And if it doesn’t then you need to find someone else to do it with. Sometimes it’s about using it to help get what you want - sometimes it’s the only thing you want. But the sex he uses isn’t what most would call compassionate; it’s fuel. So he usually has to find someone who will stick around because they’re being paid - or want something from him.
| |
| − | *<b>Drugs: </b> Everything from a 40 ounce to a bit of heroine can alter your personal reality - even if only for a moment or two. Ancient man has been using mind-altering things to glimpse the other world so it’s just a matter of taste. He doesn’t use these often, not for his magic, because he doesn’t like the feeling of being out of control. It leaves him weak for too long.
| |
| − | *<b>The Moon: </b> The moon is very important as it's what dictates what forces are flowing in the world. Under the full moon, the night is illuminated and thus the darkness is lessened. It's a night for summoning things to gain knowledge, to reveal secrets and such. Things done under the New Moon, when there's almost no light and the darkness is at its height, is for summoning things that are secretive, powerful and dangerous.
| |
| − | *<b>Circles and Symbols: </b> Sometimes drawn in chalk, or dug into the ground and filled with gasoline (as a combination with fire) or possibly even laid out with bone, the simple power of a circle can help focus one's energies. Combine the circle with specific symbols (triangles, pentagrams, etc.) at various points around or within the circle to help enclose, protect or forbid certain spirits.
| |
| − | *<b>Writing and Inscription: </b> He has more than a few notebooks filled with his work but he's also a big fan of enchanted skin art. Infusing tattoos with the power to increase your speed, stamina or strength? He uses the old school tap-tap with a needle and a ball point pen; prison tat style.
