Bonus Material: Aurora's World Magic

Magic in Aurora's world is complicated. The type of magic you'll be able to use will depend on several factors: the year you were born; the month you were born; the day you were born; and what time you were born. All mages have some form of elemental magic and each person will be able to use it differently. How this all works still isn't known by the mages properly, so they've been working on a book so that they can understand it all. Sometimes they despair of ever truly understanding the magics. Currently they know what powers you will get due to the month you were born, but not day, time, or year. They are slowly getting there with year magics. Day and time are more difficult.

Here is what they know so far, using Earth months.

March
Known magics: fire, telekinesis

April
Known magics: earth, healing

May
Known magics: air, precognition

June
Known magics: water, empathy

July
Known magics: fire, light

August
Known magics: earth, plant

September
Known magics: air, telepathy

October
Known magics: water, memory

November
Known magics: fire, flight

December
Known magics: earth, dark

January
Known magics: air, remembering

February
Known magics: water, invisibility

All magics are at their strongest in the month that they are connected to, which means that someone will be able to stay invisible for longest during February. They are at their weakest in the opposite month, which means they will have the most difficulty becoming invisible in August.

Thanks. :)

Moons, as in most of my series that use moons, work by seasons, so I say that there are three moons each season most years and then what would be their blue moon every three years which is an extra month. This will have a different magic that I'll need to think about. To be honest either would work. It's easy enough to give nonsense names a meaning specific to that world.

Days and hours are cycling, but because they cycle through months and years that have different magics they can effect the day and hour magics so there is space for little one offs. So you will only get said form of magic if you are born at this hour, on this day in this month of this years. It's all so much fun doing this, although I seriously don't know if I can make enough different magics for it to work.

However some will only work for one person if they write it, others have to sing, and that sort of thing, so that should make it slightly easier.

Have fun if you do want to help with this. Some magics, if I think they'll fit, may also be included in other stories if that's okay with you.
