Questionable Questing

This is proper magical lore I like. Reminds me of colored lands in Magic the Gathering. Can you aspect these places of power to different magical forces and energies?

Then using blood, crystals, and other magically reactive regents you can then use these rune circles to apply various effects to the surrounding area or enchant objects. With the more time you give to a rune circle to settle, and the deeper and more runes you etch in basically over time it gets stronger to the point of physically and spiritually warping the region around you with the effects you want.

Could you place runes on a person, consencreate them?

With these different effects being like inspiring growth which will cause plants to go wild and people to automatically heal inside, or summoning darkness which will create never ending hallways and traps all throughout the house. Basically the aspect you choose will have negative and positive attributes it'll apply and a big part about setting these runes up is balancing those effects so they don't go crazy.

You can definitely apply runes to people, but they have to be runes representing spirits rather than concepts. Raw, natural concepts like darkness and growth will horribly mutate you since you're basically creating a pact or portal between your body and a realm of pure cancerous growth or infinite darkness. You have to find a demon, angel, god, or even ghost to form living runes.

Charlie is a fucking source of runes as a patron ain't she. What is Charlie demon of, being the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith

Since these spirits can regulate the energy they're giving, you can create pacts that can limit and control the influence they can have on your bodies. Of course the downside of this is unlike the concepts which demand nothing for using their power since their only goal is to expand, these spirits can make rules for you to follow. Which will depend on their personalities and goals.

Thankfully they have Charlie.

Which neatly leads to Charlie. She's the anti-christ full stop. And not just that but she's an outsider as well. Someone from a different plane and thus not forced into the rules and roles of this one. So in broader spiritual terms she represents change, neither good or bad. But the more power she has, the more her magic and their magic combine and forcibly changes this world to more fit hers.

Change into what?
Andy333
Andy333
So in some sense she has unlimited power, since her soul is directly tied to hell which is more of a concept and thus practically infinite. But in the other sense, she's pretty limited in how much of that she can physically use. Not just personality wise, but her magic and this world's magic don't mix very well. So if she gives you her rune, you can't use anybody else's. You are directly tied to her.
Andy333
Andy333
If you die, you don't go to any other heaven or hell or any realm owned by the various spirits. You go to Charlie's realms. You are directly sucked into her soul and exists in this separate plain she is the god of. That's why she's very careful when she gifts it because to her she's damning you to her personal hell.

To a new mother goddess
Andy333

But to tie back into what I said before, with her magic it doesn't follow rules and more flows on emotions, rather than the laws and concepts of this world. So a blending of the two which is naturally happening as Charlies power slowly gets assimilated in, will cause a slow break down of the Levy lines.
Andy333
Andy333
They are still very important but in the future you won't need them to do magic, just with enough will power and emotion you can do it. And this shifting of paragraphs will not only completely up end the current patron system with spirits and summoners but it'll cause a big shift in the Lines and require all the rune circles, some of which are thousands of years old and stupidly powerful, to need to be rebuilt.

So Charlie's magic is more about passions and feelings she inspires and embodies?
Bob is bob

So would gods like Odin and such have been spirits people summon?
Andy333
Andy333
So you can see why Charlie's arrival is being seen as the Antichrist. She's unknowingly completely breaking the old system and replacing it with something new. Which I'm not going to say if it's good or bad. It's just a natural consequence of someone as powerful as Charlie appearing in a relatively magic starved world.
