Random Lore Material Users Pt. 2

Prana is a unique and ancient form of mystical force, distinct from other forms of material energy. It is inherently tied to the essence of the user and requires binding to a physical object, typically a weapon, to be wielded effectively. This bond between the user and their bound item creates a powerful synergy, enabling extraordinary abilities and forming an inseparable link between the two.

Random Lore Material Users Pt. 1

Material Users Overview

There are various forms of material energy which have been harnessed by different groups and species, each developing unique ways to tap into these powers. Material energies are separated from magical energies and the two can not co-exist in one person. An individual must choose one path to walk down.

Magic is a form of power that originates from...

Interlude [40.5] The War Merchant

He was panting with raspy breaths and his legs shook from exhaustion. His head pounded with a dull ache as he forced himself to keep walking. 

Any time he stopped he swore he heard it get closer. He could sense its eyes sizing him up just out of sight. He could all but feel the poison in his veins as if he’d already been bitten. He didn’t dare look back at what was certainly going to b...

Interlude [22.5] Traveling

The goblin family were all aboard their wagon in the back of the caravan. Despite the hectic few days, Helina was happy that things were settling into a normal routine for her family again. They didn’t have long before they would arrive at their next village, which if she remembered correctly was fairly new. Or at least it hadn’t been there two hundred years ago. 

Helina was humming sweetly while cuddling up to her husband, who was driving the wagon. Their tails firmly intertwi...

Interlude [7.5] Survivor Part 2

Things were going well. Traveling through the forest was the specialty of the druids. They only had half a day of travel left before they would finally reach the Salstar domain. They were on schedule to meet with a larger invasion force that would take out several strategic targets including water sources, farmland and a major fort. The strikes all over the Salstar domain would happen simultaneously...

Random Lore Magic Disciplines Pt. 1

Spellcraft disciplines

(Purple)

Spellcraft is the discipline of transcribing the magnificent into the mundane. Making grand arcane working of the world into script, math and formula. Turning magic into science and the mysterious into the quantifiable. Mages of this discipline find themselves at the forefront of magical research and understanding. 

These individuals meld technology and science with magic. They transcribe rune, build machines, and complex world changing...

Interlude [7.5] Survivor Part 1

The march from the Nazem territory was smoother than anyone could have imagined. The traitorous noble wendigo fool made infiltrating the kingdom and sabotaging infrastructure child’s play. It was almost too easy, which was what had everyone on edge. Being this deep into the savages’ territory was nerve wracking to say the least.

Bláinn was in the middle of the six-party formation of infilt...

Interlude [5.5] Dorsehal Academy Part 1

Thrand was gone, the spot where he’d landed was already being repaired by groundskeepers. Students were expected to continue their studies as if what had just happened was normal. Matthew and Julie were mortified, and several of the non-wendigo students looked the same. The wendigo students had already started mocking Freja for being a failure of a noble who was kicked from her family, calling her ...

Wandmaker Release Schedule

OH NO A DELAY AGAIN

Interlude [0.5] Astral Traveler Part 2

“How many times have I seen this day now?” Eira asked herself, as there was no one around to answer. “I wonder what I should do this lifetime? Maybe I will finally get around to ending the war with the Druids.” She tapped her lip in contemplation. “Or I could marry into the royal family again, that was fun. Although maybe I’ll go for a different prince this time around. Hmm, how old am I...

Random Lore Familiars Pt. 3

The Iota Evolution

The Iota Familiar evolution is a significant milestone in the natural progression of the bond between a mage and their familiar. This evolution occurs after the Delta Evolution and represents a further deepening of the connection and mutual understanding between the master and familiar.

Here are the key aspects and implications of the Iota Familiar evolutio...

Interlude [0.5] Astral Traveler Part 1

Explanation of Interludes

Before we get started there are some things to know about the interlude chapters. These are not from the perspective of Tanisha/Freja or Bjorn but various other characters we may or may not have seen in the original story. All Interlude chapters are Cannon events that happened behind the scenes of the main book. Unless marked as a “Part” the chapters are not directly connected.

The chapters are numbered where they would start in the book. For e...

Random Lore The Wendigo Pt 3

Skinwalker (Lesser Wendigo)

The lesser wendigo known primarily as the skinwalker is the cunning killer cannibal of the wendigo Species Hierarchy. Skinwalker itself is a name given to a variety of lesser wendigo variants. They all have a similar aesthetic and differ primarily only in the execution of their baser desires. 

These monsters will be kept alive purely by ...

Random Lore Magic Pt. 1

Magic is a natural force utilized by many beings across the world. Some have a greater affinity for magic than others. It is focused in a metaphysical wellspring within the body. When contained within the body, it often—but not always—takes the form of a core, matrix, or ring. Those who cannot utilize magic often do not have this metaphysical wellspring.

It is a point of debate if magic a...

[80] First Princess of Yuhia

The lesser zmei were the familiars of the royal family, they were massive three-headed dragons. The sorcerer nature of the royal family of Yuhia meant they had a connection to the beasts that no one else had been able to cultivate. The fight for succession to the throne was well under way, as the elderly king did not have much longer. Out of the twelve princes and princesses only three were seen as ...

[79] Blood

Time seemed to slow as Tanisha searched the bond to feel Bjorn’s emotions. He was confident and wanted her to trust him. She had no choice, as she was just bitten by one of if not the most toxic animals she had ever heard of, but she did trust him. It was at that moment she saw a stream of venom be carried in the aether directly into Thyra. 

Venomous Bite
Aether Cost: 0
You have a neurotoxic venom which can be injected through a bite with your fangs. Your ...

[78] Bite The Hand

The back line of the knights were in disarray; they had to flee the poison while those amongst them who could cleanse the area and heal the afflicted sprung into action. Tanisha saw a contingent of sentinels in heavy plate were in a shield wall formation, blocking escape through the hole in the gatehouse. They needed to make it past them if they wanted to get out. 

Tyr’s voice cut through the chaos. “We need to make a push now, while they’re regrouping!”

The Isi screa...

Reaching The End of Book One and What's Next!

I'm excited to announce that we've reached a significant milestone: Chapter 80 marks the end of “The Chronicles of a Scalebound Sage: Reincarnated as a Hydra Familiar. It's been an incredible journey crafting this story, and I'm so grateful for your unwavering support and enthusiasm.

A Brief Break and Special Interlude Chapters

As we wrap up Book One, we'll be taking a brief break for about 3 weeks after chapter 80. But don't worry...

[77] Fight In The Street

Power unlike anything Tanisha had ever felt coursed through her veins. She expected pain or to be knocked out for days or something, but no, there was none of that. She was a little dizzy but even that quickly dissipated. She felt good; better than good. 

That was, until she sniffed the air and nearly keeled over while she dry heaved from the stench.

“Trues above, it is fowl down here,” Tanisha said, but was caught off guard by the sound of her own voice. “Is that me?�...

[76] No Fault Of Mine

The attack came quickly; one second Bjorn was following Tanisha out of the room with Svan and Joha, the next Harald barreled in through the window. In barely a moment he aimed and fired directly at Bjorn. The attack was too close to dodge and too powerful to survive if he was struck with the wind magic construct. The instant before he was killed he was in Tanisha's arms, up against the wall on the far side of the room. Tanisha managed to save him with Blink and he could not be happier with hi...

[75] ANOMALY DETECTED

Knight Commander Harald barreled into the room, his familiar was too large to enter. His magic rose in wisps around him and the air quivered under his influence. There was no hesitation in any motion as the man took a knee with his bow drawn. He had his orders, but at this moment he needed to take out the biggest threat. The monstrous familiar that had blown a hole through a gate of the inner fort. A feat so maddening if he had not seen it with his own eyes he wouldn’t have believed it. He ...

[74] I Want You Back

Bjorn woke up in a void, a dark blankness that somehow felt familiar, but he couldn’t tell how he knew this place. His body had reverted to how it had been when he first hatched from his egg. He was tiny in comparison to what he’d been a moment ago. He felt dizzy, like he lacked depth perception now that he only had one head again. He’d never thought he would find it weird to only have one pair...

[73] Do It And We Die

The plan was actually relatively simple, Joha disguised as Tyr would ride with Tanisha on Bjorn to draw attention away from the escaping Isi behind them. They meet up with Svan who takes them underground to escape. Tyr is their primary target so more resources will be used to take him down. If they get the attention of the Hands even better. The scouts reported the South and West Gatehouses are closed but the enchantments have not been fully activated yet and the other two are in the process ...
