I'm writing a fantasy novel. There are so many bad fantasy series (I know because I've read most of them, thederivarive uninspired slop attracts me) I figured even a guy like me could do it.
Anyway, the main character is a femboy dyel, and one of the supporting characters is a muscle wizard. Mentally I'm envisioning something like a post-prime Arnold during the peak of his acting career. The latter is what I want to discuss with you.
What do you think a muscle wizard should be able to do? What would make you go "holy shit!" instead of just "meh, magic"? His magic needs to be subtle lile Gandalf I guess, but I also want thr cool musclr explosion of the pervert turtle shell man in dragonball.
Didnt read that but saw the pic and i must say rip to a real one. Cant believe hes dead already
Maybe he can conjure forth people's hidden desires but only to people who love them. Fuarrrrk..
average femoid gym attire
The idea of magic acting like atp in the body has never been done. He could take creatine as a mana potion and the bigger a wizard gets the more energy or mana he can store. So wizards would work out like mad and make steroid potions from bulls testicals which is how we got the first roids.
The Idea the magic is how life started and you just harness it would be cool. A lot of the spells could be buffs, or the ability to control vines or living things that also use the same energy system
If the main character were to apprentice with him, what kind of training would the muscle wizard impose on him?
Just make a magic fit guild. Wizard scooby getting them to work out at home with random logs, Ripptoe wizard feeding apprentices gallons of goat milk a day, a bunch of natty wizards who only progressed to basic spells after 5 years. Interrupt a guild scene when an apprentices hoped up on wizard roids goes on a rampage of roid rage.
If it was me I would make fighters the cardio bros so they are all small a nibble while the wizards are all huge and freaky. Would be a fun flip of the usual tropes
>magic acting like atp in the body has never been done
isnt that kinda what star wars did
Tldr
>There are so many bad fantasy series I figured even a guy like me could do it
>Anyway, the main character is a femboy dyel
as in "I can write a bad fantasy too."
Assuming this isn't a shitpost and you're actually looking for advice, if you want to achieve subtle Tolkien-esque magic for your muscle Wizard just make him inconceivably strong. As in he should have the inexplicable ability to perform great feats of strength seemingly far beyond his capabilities, like the human equivalent of an ant. It's important that you don't go into detail on how he's capable of doing this or the mystique will be ruined, and for the love of god don't make him shout a spell beforehand.
I don't shitpost I just make shit posts.
>for the love of god don't make him shout a spell beforehand.
what about grunting? can he grunt when he lifts impossibly big things?
Yes, good idea. Make him lift his feels, haha!
those cant be real
these were THE breasts of 2012, can't remember her name but she was basically a meme on IST
they're airbrushed. playboy type images are the most exensively modified images of women historically speaking. i think thast from playboy
how can you brush air
Maybe he’s able to rip anything in two.
>rips a giant crevice open in the earth to drop enemies in
To
>rips someone skull in two (magically) to read their memories before repairing it
>rips oxygen in two in an isolated area and suffocates whoever is inside
>rips curses and disease in two
>rips random animals in two because if he doesn’t rip he loses it
Hm... What if he can lift anything he knows the true name of or something?
That’s boring but sure.
you are right, that is boring. never mind.
>can rip a person into two people who lost half themselves
The possibilities are endless.
>Dain looked around the room. On the far wall was a stone fireplace, with thick leather belts still slick with sweat hanging to dry. The wizard had called them power belts, but he knew not what they were for. Several open jars caught his eye, filled with white powder. On one was written "protein", on the other, "chalk". On the near wall were masterful drawings of muscles, with many arrows and strange runes presumably describing points of interest. He recognized some of them, the biceps, the gluteus maximus, but there were muscles from animals too. Suddenly the door behind him opened. The wizard came in, drenched in sweat. He was dragging with him half a tree. It looked like it had torn apart at the middle.
I'd buy your novel
The interesting part of a magic system is the draw back of using it. That's why you can't name a Harry Potter spell that's not a meme, but Avatar is memorable for his struggles learning fire bending and unlocking the avatar state.
If he borrowed against his muscles for casting spells so he could only do it if it's important, that'd be neat. If casting was physically intense, so he worked out in order to gain the constitution to withstand the magic that he used that'd go hard. Perhaps he looked into the abyss a little too hard, understands the nature of magic in an unnatural way, so now his spells are giga powered, but their physical toll is supernatural. You could have an MC that thirsts for knowledge, but the muscle wizard is always trying to convince him to workout instead, so they begin to argue about it.
just make the PC suck muscle wizard off for gains, it's not that hard
>ooooh muscle wizard, I am slurping ur cum rn, hehe, look at my little loose self teehee
Make it happen OP, it is inevitable
so a gay novella?
might even get televised
Muscle wizzy's holy shit moments should not come from his muscles, but from his fierce determination. He should be unbreakable, a pinnacle of mental fortitude, but still have a soft spot. You could imprison and torture muscle wizzy, but he would not break. Even if he was starved, beaten, etc.
How would muscle wizard survive the torture of starvation and still have enough strength to escape?
So he is a femboy with like makeup and shit or just a twink?
like this
So a twink. Or will he also have a plot about crossdressing and getting fricked in a bath house like Cloud
If you want some inspiration:
Mahou? Sonna Koto yori Kinniku da!
MASHLE
You've read most fantasy books? 100 years of nonstop trash spewed out by dyew nerds that have also read most fantasy novels and think they're a better writer than most of humanity. Fascinating. Utterly fascinating op who is most definitely a homosexual.
Best of luck on your piece of shit book no one will ever read except your mom. Also, I'm a much better writer than you.
>Brutuz the Musclewizard gazed across the room at the throng of DYELs and betamaxes. "Pathetic!", he spat, are there no ALPHAS around to give me some competition, such as Zyzzeus Aussius and Scoobeus the Questionable in the tales of yore? The DYELs shuffled their feet and murmured in a sort of protein way, but none came forth. Until suddenly a dark figure leaped out from the shadows and grabbed Brutuz. "Haha, got'chu now white boi! Prepare to feel the might of Tyrone Whiteboi Ravager!" The DYELs looked startled, could this be the Legendary BBC haver? TYRONE flapped up his loincloth and revealed a black mamba the size of an oliphant's trunk. Brutuz struggled to break free but to no avail. Slowly Tyrone inserted his BBC into his butthole using just Brutuz' tears as a pretty terrible lube. "N-NOOOO, remove THY HUGE BBC!" pleaded Brutuz, but slowly his manpussy was mangled into oblivion.
yes but without the gross memes and incel ideology
you now remember /fitlit/
