FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!

I have a sort of "system" that gets tossed around in character dialogue but is never fully explained, and other characters get confused when they hear it, and they'll ask, and the explanations leave them even more confused.

Basically there is no "real" system, but characters think there is, and the populations of the world have developed conspiracy theories around what that system may or may not be.

Doing it this way, allows me to never fully write what the system is and allows me to have variations of the system mentioned, depending on which character is talking to which conspiracy theorist.

In the end, all the characters end up confused and no one really knows what the rankings of the power system actually is.

And if that confused you, basically the system goes like this:

The main character (Quaraun) holds the title of the world's most powerful wizard (currently), but no one really knows how or why he came by that title and he himself doesn't know why people call him that as he does not himself think that he is the most powerful wizard.

Previously however a wizard named Gibedon held the title of world's most powerful wizard.

Before Gibedon held that title, it was held by King Gwallmaiic.

Before King Gwallmaiic it was held by wizard known only as The Ghoul.

The Ghoul was King Gwallmaiic's advisor. But he got too powerful and got banished into a Hell dimension and the portal sealed up so he couldn't escape. Thus the title went from The Ghoul to King Gwallmaiic, as Gwallmaiic defeated the Ghoul.

Gibedon replaced The Ghoul as King Gwallmaiic's advisor, thus took over the title. The two also became lovers.

While Gibedon was out of the country, Quaraun became King Gwallmaiic's lover.

Upon his return, Gibedon discovered the King's new lover, had a fit and tried to kill both the King and his lover. The King ends up seriously wounded. In trying to pull the knife out of Gibedon's hand, to stop Gibedon from killing the King, Quaraun accidentally stabs and kills Gibedon.

With Gibedon dead, the title once again goes back to the King. However, a few weeks later the King dies from the infection caused by his wounds, leaving Quaraun heartbroken at the death of his lover. Quaraun becomes a Necromancer to resurrect the King as a Lich.

Having killed former title holder Gibedon (without using magic to do so) and having resurrected former title holder King Gwallmaiic, Quaraun now gets the title slapped on him.

In actual scale of use of magic it makes no real sense at all, but for the sake of the actual plot, it makes perfect sense in the minds of the simple tavern folk who used conspiracy theories to come up with the whole thing.

In the end, the title of world's most powerful wizard, is more something bards weave into tavern songs, then actual scale of power/skill the individual magic caster actually possess.

I wrote it that way to make sence in the minds of the people in taverns who listen to bards, rather then have it actually make sense to the powers the wizards actually had.

In terms of actual magical ability:

King Gwallmaiic way out powers the other wizards in terms of sheer skill, because he is also a 3,000 year old Faerie that has had many centuries to build that skill.

The Ghoul's son GhoulSpawn, (who is never given the title at all) actually is physically the most powerful wizard in terms of ability to harness energy; this being because he is a Demon and is able to withstand the side effects of spell casting, which other races can not.

In terms of psychic ability, being able to control the elements/weather, and possessing a hive mind telepathy that allows him to gather up armies of plants and animals (with bloodthirsty rose bushes strangling people with thorny vines and trees uprooting and marching across the field to do battle for him), that ability goes to Quaraun, who rightly holds the title of world's most powerful wizard, after he calls up quartz crystals to do battle for him in The Battle of Ongadada, where crystals come to life and embed themselves in every living being, killing 31 billion people across 3 solar systems in less then 30 seconds, by turning them into quartz statues. Quaraun is a wish granting DiJinn, and whenever he wants something to happen, simply says: "I wish...." and it happens immediately. In the case of the Battle of Ongadada he wished the world would die, and seconds later it did.

However, none of these things are taken into consideration for the actual title of World's Most Powerful Wizard. And Quaraun simply has the title because he killed Gibedon and resurrected Gwallmaiic, which is a completely illogical reason for him to have the title, considering the things his is capable of, but such is the logic of the tavern bards who wrote the songs and came up with the title.

Basically, the wizards themselves do not use a scaling system, nor do they care about such things. And the only people who do care about such things are the people who sit around taverns getting drunk and listening to tavern bards. The bards then make up the titles, tossing the titles at random on whatever wizard best fits the song/story they are singing/telling to the crowd. The crowd folk later retell the stories to their families who tell their friends, and sooner or later the story/song will get back to the wizard who'll be clueless as to who slapped him with the title or why.

I particularly like to have the wizards be in tavern scenes, where they are sitting in the crowd, listening to the bard, and the bard is clueless to the fact that the wizard he is weaving tales about is right there listening to him do it. The wizard will be there having a drink with his friends and suddenly be like: "OMG! He's talking about me? But I didn't do that!"

I kind of use it more to show how rumours get spread about the wizards, because usually the stuff bards attribute to the wizards are not things the wizard ever actually did.

So, yeah, like I said, not exactly a system of power scaling, but, it's some sort of a system, one that works with the plot in question at least. :P

>>As one example, water powers might be lame in your world, but that could still be exactly the right power for fighting a peak superhero whose power is fire.

Yes. This is a good example.

I use what is known as "kitchen sink magic" in my universe. So like Wile E Coyote dropping a piano on your head, or an anvil falling out of the sky for no reason, anything can and does happen in terms of magic.

Wizards are also not impervious to their own spells, so a Wizard casting a fireball, better damned sure know what he's doing and do it right, otherwise he'll be a crispy fried Wizard himself.

Having a Wizard cast "Wall of Fire" or "Fire Burst", and another Wizard counter cast "Bucket of Water Over Head of Wizard" is exactly the sort of thing you'd see happen in a Wizard's duel in my books, or rather "Grand Piano Full of Pink Lemonade Over Head of Wizard" if BoomFuzzy was casting it (because he's a trickster Faerie).

>>Power over plants?

As mentioned in my other post, my main character has this. He's a Necromancer who faints at the sight of blood, can't stomach dead bodies, and runs off puking his guts out at the sight of a corpse. He can however turn a dead oak tree in the forest into a Tree-Ent style battle zombie unlike anything you've never seen, and resurrect dead cut long stem roses into an army of flesh eating blossoms every little shop of horrors would be proud to have.

Soldiers often laugh at him being a Necromancer who "only resurrects dead flowers" but they sure as hell ain't laughing when a dead redwood tree marches across the battlefield and stomps them to death under it's roots.

>>Talks with fish?

All of the Thullids possess the ability to talk to sea creatures.

>>Weather control?

All three of the primary character wizards have some form, of weather control, but it varies.

Unicorn, for example can call up massive storms: hurricanes, blizzards, and typhoons, but more simple weather changes seem to be lost on him. Or perhaps he is simply bored with them?

Quaraun has the ability to call down lightening and can channel it through his body directing it at others. In essence he can shoot lightning bolts. He is able to capture lightning in a bottle or a wand and release it at a later time as well. People live in mortal terror of his Rainbow Wand because he has lightning bolts stored in it.

Quaraun once is seen calling up a tornado.

GhoulSpawn, is able to harness the heat from the sun and direct it into people burning their insides.

The Crystal Elves have the ability to freeze anything or any one and harness snow and ice storms.

>>Who would really hate to fight those superheros, or where would be a bad idea to fight them?

I find it interesting that you thought in terms of superheros for this. I would not have. I think of magic systems and my mind goes immediately to Wizards.

So while you were thinking super powers I was thinking magic users.

Interesting, because I had never thought of super powers in conjunction to magic before, but when you stop and think about it, what are Wizards really, but the superheros and super villains of the past?

>>I would try to have fun with creative power matches in this kind of story.

This is why I like to write the wild whack a doodle Wizards I write... because it is just danged fun to try to come up with wild crazy shit for them to pull on each other, then see what the other one will do to counter it.

I mean, BoomFuzzy is a Chaotic Candy Wizard who lives in a gingerbread house, and tosses vampire marshmallow bunnies into battlefields. Quaraun has his undead roses, and GhoulSpawn, baffles people with his pockets full of sheep. How do you determine who is the more powerful Wizard when one of them is tossing undead roses around and the other is putting out fires with eggnog? None of it makes sense, but who cares, because it's just plain fun to write.

I think that's the most important part of anything you write: to have fun writing it.
