You have encountered an extremely old website that continues to exist in old web ways, the same way it has done for now three decades.
In spite of being now 30 years old this year, started in 1996, it is still heavily active and old pages updated daily, new pages added daily, still now in 2026. All hand written, all hand coded (no AI), all by me, same as it ever was.
We Still Exist: The Old Web Did Not Go Away, You Just Forgot How To Find Us

This site was NOT designed for mobile devices (as they had not been invented yet when I created it) thus this site looks best on a computer, at 1280x768 or above. |
This is a very old website created in 1996, so, yes, javascript is needed for the site to work as it should. If things don't function, you may need to update javascript drivers on your device |
This site tries to be mobile friendly but it's been online since 1996, so old pages may not load right on mobile devices, and as this site has had pages added near daily for 30 years there are now over 20k pages here. |
Having started out in life as a GeoCities site, this site contains glitter, bright colours, blinkies, moving gifs, and other things the old web was known for. |
f you are here looking for aliens, ufos, demons, cryptids, haunted cars, curses, Etiole, the wild man of old orchard beach, the goldeneagle car, the white monkey, or any of that other weird bullshit, you want this video:

I shouldn't have to say this, but people keep contacting me, so apparently I do:
If you have any information about my son’s murderer, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
Do you know who this woman is?
On August 8, 2013 she drove a backhoe over my house. On November 14, 2013 she arrived at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me with a golf club and murdered my son. One June 24, 2016, days after my first attempts to walk again, she attacked me with a shopping cart at Scarborough, Walmart, reinjuring the Nov 14, 2013 injury.
She crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet id-ed the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club.
Complete details of EVERYTHING she did is on this page here.
The golf club woman who called herself Clair as she looked November 14, 2013. Her hair is a weird chin leangth pageboy (very Medival style cut) platinum blonde with wide brown/black dyed stripes in it (like a reverse of Lily Munster, but the stripes are several, almost like a zebra). I am 5'6" and she was a LOT taller then me, like closer to the height of a man; she had thin lips like a man, and large nose like a man... she COULD have been a man disguised as a woman, given the ease with which she severed my spine....she's is a LOT stronger then is typical for a woman). She was wearing a chambre blue denim "blazer jacket over shirt" and a button up mens shirt (possibly flannel) and blue jeans. The bulk of her yelling was focused on accusing me of being transgender, even while ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and bashing his head in with a golf club. |
The Claire woman as she looked during her shoping cart attack at Scarborough WalMart June 2016, the attack with left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Her hair was dyed dark red, and she drove away in a gold Volvo 240 Station Wagon of a late 1980s/early1990s model, with a "458" on the lisnce plate.... If you have any information about the woman who crippled me with a golf club, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office. |

question: differences between witchcraft/ sorcery and can I use both in my novel? from fantasywriters

>I was also considering the sorcerers/ sorceresses needing some kind of amulet to use their magic. Do you think this is necessary or since their magic is genetic they shouldn't need one? Let me know your thoughts, please. Any are appreciated.
First, the amulet thing you mentioned... in mine, there exists magic users who are superstitious and BELIEVE a certain object gives them power. In actuality the object is their "focus" which they use when meditating, so the object itself doesn't give them power, but rather allows them to focus their mind.
Most magic users however actually believe they get their power from their focus object and so will not go anywhere without it.
For some it's a crystal or crystal ball, or palm stone, for others it's pendant of bracelet... for my main character, it's his hair.
Quaraun believes that if he cuts his hair he will lose his powers. He came by this belief, because he has really long hair, and it takes him several hours each morning to brush it. One day he noticed that after spending 3 hours brushing his hair, his ability to do magic was stronger. What actually happened was the act of brushing his hair put him into a meditative state, and has nothing to do with magic, but because he's a Wizard and therefor highly superstitious, he came to believe that his long hair was the source of his power. The result of which is he eventually has 12 foot long hair, that becomes totally unmanageable and constantly in his way, but he completely refuses to cut it.
But your's could be a case like that, where they don't really NEED the amulet, but for whatever reason they BELIEVE they need it so won't do anything without it.

>I am writing a fantasy novel and I have a few questions on the differences between witchcraft and sorcery. I'm sure it varies but I don't want to confuse readers. I believe that the terms "witch/ witchcraft" and "sorceress/ sorcery" can sometimes be used interchangeably, as they both pertain to magic. Other times "sorcery" is seen as the "evil" kind of magic, while "witchcraft" is the "good" kind of magic. In my novel I want there to be a distinction between the two, but not where one is evil and the other is good. The kind of distinction that I want between witchcraft and sorcery is that witchcraft is learned while sorcery is genetic. Witches use energy from the earth, crystals, the deities they worship, etc. Through mediation they develop psychic abilities as well. Their power is limited and is used mainly for healing and enlightenment. So yes, in a sense, witchcraft is primarily "good". On the other hand, I want sorcery to be seen as the kind of magic that is hereditary. It is much more powerful and it's bounds are essentially limitless. That is why it is dangerous and can be considered evil. Sorcerers/ sorceresses may have malicious intentions and consequently use their magic in malicious ways.
Not sure it's the actual definition most people use in real life, but in my own novel series, I have Wizardry, Witchcraft, and Sorcery defined as 3 separate things.
I have them as 3 very different practices. Each practice itself is neutral and can be used for either good or evil, depending on the person using it, so you find good Witches and Bad Witches and Good Sorcerers and bad Sorcerers.
As for the differences between Witches and Sorcerers...
Here's how I do it in mine, maybe it'll help you figure out what to do with yours?

Wizardry:

NOTE: Magic in his world, is the manipulation of energy. Only the priests/wizards are truly magical and spend two or three centuries training and learning to manipulate the world around them. Wizards are feared for their ability to control the weather, cast illusions, and call up the dead which is different from resurrection - it means creating a shambling dead/zombie minion. to go kill your enemy, then promptly falls over and goes back to rotting - it is simply reanimating a corpse by use of magic and is not resurrection of actual life.
All magic is done by mind control and requires intense focus. Wizards meditate for hours, sometimes days on end to absorb the mental energy of those around them and harness the life force of those around them to control anything and everything that is their will to control. While Humans are able to learn some of the skills of wizards, the life span of a Human is too short to allow them to learn any advanced magic skills.
While Wizardry was once seen as an Elite Class of Highly Respected Priests, by the time period of the Quaraun series (around the 1450s) Wizards have lost their social standing and are now seen as scum of the Earth no better then prostitutes, thieves, and charlatans.

Main character, Quaraun, is typical of most Wizards in the Quaraun series. He was taken from his family by a Thullid priest at the age of 9.
Born in Quebec, Quaraun was raised by the DiJinn in Persia, on the other side of the planet. As an adult he escaped his captors and made the long journey back home. Quaraun was not accepted back into Elf society and seen as a freak. The other Elves teased and bullied him.
Quaraun is often beaten, raped, and several times publicly humiliated by being striped naked and hung upside down from a tree in the village center, where the villagers would gather to beat him with sticks and throw rocks at him. It was during one of these events, that one Elf took a knife and attempted to castrate him, resulting in the horrific scars and permanent damage done to his penis, which in turn results in his near inability to have sexual intercourse, resulting in him eventually preferring to be a bottom to other men, resulting in his 3 way relationship with his two lovers Unicorn and GhoulSpawn.
For a wizard to be beaten, humiliated, and castrated is not uncommon. Many wizards are eunuchs because of this.
Societies ill treatment of wizards, is the cause of many wizards believing in celibacy, most refusing to have sex, falsely claiming to be eunuchs to prevent themselves being castrated by angry mobs.
Because Wizards are often hunted down and killed by the law, it became common practice for Wizards to live in isolated regions - on top difficult to reach mountains, in isolated deserts, or on tiny islands in the ocean. Wizards took to living in tall stone towers as a way to protect themselves. While the top floor of the towers have windows, there are no windows on the lower levels, and the door into the tower is invisible to the naked eye, hidden by powerful spells to prevent anyone from gaining access.

It is not uncommon for a Wizard to disguise his tower as something else, such as a Lighthouse.
Many Wizards, especially those whom have been heavily abused by society, are fearful of having contact with other people, often to the point of agoraphobicly locking themselves in their towers and never setting foot outside again.
Both Wizards and their towers are a rare thing to see. Only a handful of Wizards exist in the world. Probably fewer then 100 Wizards are alive at any given time period.
Quaraun in fact, when he is at home, lives in a lighthouse known as The Black Tower.
It is not uncommon for a small group of wizards to band together, as other wizards are often the only friends a wizard has. Thus if one does see a wizard, it is likely you'll see more then one.
Quaraun himself, lives with two other wizards: The Illusionist Wizard King Gwallmaiic/BoomFuzzy the Unicorn, and The Chaos Wizard GhoulSpawn. All three of them have been victims of violent race crimes against wizards. Each of the three of them is scared to live alone.
Quaraun, Unicorn, and GhoulSpawn each rely on the other two for everything. You will almost never see any one of these three wizards without the other two close by. If one is separated from the other two, all three become highly agitated and nervous, with the two who are still together, going on a terror driven panicked search for the one that has gone missing.
None of these three Wizards feels safe on his own and is deeply emotionally dependent on having the other two by his side. All three of them suffer from serious anxiety when separated from the other two. Each of them is fiercely protective of the other two.

While small villages on the outskirts of society tend to be welcoming of wizards, most large cities and upscale regions see wizards as little more then the scum of the Earth. As a result of this Wizards are rarely seen in areas with big populations. Wizards tend to sculk around in lower class, shady places - slums, ports, docks, seedy taverns, and places that are highly infested with pirates, criminals, thieves, whores, bootleggers, moonshiners, and other individuals out cast from upper class society.
Because of this most of the Quaraun series takes place in taverns and inns of ill repute, along the coast, usually in bars on sea ports. Pirates, drunks, drug dealers, prostitutes, and sailors are thus a daily part of Quaraun's life as this is the society he lives with and is a part of. Quaraun is himself often drunk, high, or in bed with prostitutes.
Interestingly, Quaraun is of the habit of paying prostitutes to sleep with him, but not have sex with him. When asked about this, he simply explains he dislikes to sleep alone and it's easy to find prostitutes willing to not have sex with a man as most of the women simply want the money to support their families.
GhoulSpawn on the other hand is frequently seen with many prostitutes, whom he is a frequent customer of. GhoulSpawn just likes sex a lot.
It is not uncommon for the 3 of them (Quaraun, Unicorn, and GhoulSpawn) to spend the night at whore houses, with only GhoulSpawn ever having sex with the women, and them all of them, the 3 wizards and the women, sleeping together. This is due to Quaraun being a pure blooded High Elf, and his species, normally have communal sleeping habits with a dozen or more people all in bed together. Elves are often noted for stating: "No one really notices who is cuddled up with who, just as long as every one is together, it's all good."

King Gwallmaiic, aka BoomFuzzy the Unicorn is an Illusionist Wizard and is often not seen as a Wizard by other Wizards. This is because an Illusionist is a racial trait, something that all Faeries are born with, a nature skill they just happen to have.
Illusionists are always Faeries.
A distinction is made between Illusionists and Illusionist Wizards.
All Faeries are Illusionists, thou most only have very limited use of this skill. At it's most basic all they can do is "shape shift" into an animal form, or pay Humans in "gold coins" that turn out to be acorn caps or pebbles.

Illusionists are generally seen as harmless pranksters or annoying Tricksters.
An Illusionist Wizard is a Faerie who has studied to expand his natural born skills. They are able to cast vast illusions that cause physical harm... such as conjuring a dragon made out of fog, but the dragon being so believable real that when it sets fire to a village, the people are so convinced that they are being burned to death, they actually die from burning to death, even tough there was no fire at all, because there was never any dragon to begin with.
Faeries have vastly different sense of emotions than other races/species and do not see the harm in harming people, so long as they got a good laugh out of watching the people being scared of them. Faeries who seek to become Illusionist Wizards tend to do so out of a malignant sense of dark humor. They also often eat their dead prank victims after the prank is over.
Illusionist Wizards are generally seen as dangerous and evil and are thought by the general public to be the most dangerous and most feared of all types of magic users.
King Gwallmaiic is known by most people as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley, due to his habit of terrorizing Elves into dying of fright from his illusions and then eating them. While Unicorn is the primary love interest of main character Quaraun, he is also the primary villain of the Quaraun series.
Though seen most often shape shifted into a Human form illusion, Gwallmaiic, King of the Faeries, is a Phooka, a type of marsh dwelling Scottish Faerie Horse, and in his rarely seen true form, is in fact a Purple Shetland Pony with a silver horn, thus why Quaraun calls him by the nickname "Unicorn".

Witchcraft:

The Quaraun series is told from main character, Quaraun's perspective. The reader sees the world as he does.
It is easy for the reader to assume that Quaraun is a hero and that the people he fights are evil villains, because Quaraun himself thinks of the people he fights as evil villains and does not see himself as being an evil person.
While some of the people he goes up against, like Mallac and HellBorne, are in fact evil bad guys who needed to be defeated... you see even then, the methods Quaraun uses to defeat them are bloody and brutal.
Quaraun is not a hero. He's not a good guy. He is a villain, and in later volumes of the series is a very violent serial killer.
I say this here in this section, because we are now comparing the wizards of the Quaraun series, who are for the most part evil people, with the witches of the Quaraun series who are for the most part mostly good.
But, the reader sees the world through Quaraun's eyes and thus, the story tells the reader that the wizards are good, while the witches are evil. You see the world from the warped, reversed morals of a super villain, who believes the good guys are bad and believes himself to be helping the world by killing them.
Which brings us to the witches in the Quaraun series, often referred to as "hags" by Quaraun himself.
Witches are not seen in the Quaraun series that often, but when they do show up they tend to make very dramatic appearances.
The reason for this is because Witches are generally good in the Quaraun series, and Quaraun himself, while he is not evil, he is far from good.

It must be remembered that Quaraun is an evil wizard. And he is practically unstoppable. He commands lightning from the sky, tosses fireballs from his hands, commands Liches, dragons, zombies, and can do the one thing other Necromancers only dream about: he can call up at will hoards of dead souls and send them into anything or anyone, animating trees, rocks, houses... remember, this is the wizard who built the Twighlight Manor... a sentient house that eats people.
Quaraun is on the run, wanted for murder.
He can not settle down and travels constantly because the law is on his trail. He brutally murdered his 4 children (toddlers) in a horrific Necromancery blood ritual, and then that same day murdered his wife, uncle, and father as well.
While he went on to deeply regret murdering his children, to the point that tries on multiple occasions to commit suicide over it, and his sleep is plagued with constant night terrors as the souls of his dead children haunt him each night, he is often quoted as having no regrets in murdering his wife and father.
In the case of his father, Quaraun also drank his blood and eat his flesh. Yes, Quaraun is a cannibal who eats other Elves, which is why he has no problems living with the infamous Elf Eater of Pepper Valley.
Quaraun is rightly called the evilest wizard to ever walk the face of the Earth. And witches, in their overall general goodness and desire to help humanity, view defeating Quaraun a primary goal. His wearing bright pink robes, cinched corsets, slutty prostitute way of dressing, and having long white hair, makes him easily identifiable.

You can not mistake the transvestite Necromancer when he walks into your town.
There are no female wizards.
The only "female" wizard on the planet is the transvestite Quaraun, with his hearts and roses, and his bold as brass, fearless attitude when he comes strolling into town, knowing full well everyone is going to try to kill him for the price on his head and also knowing full well, not a damned one of them can defeat him because he really is the most powerful wizard, most powerful magic user, to ever walk the earth.
He's also travelling with a serial killing tyrant king turned Lich. King Gwallmaiic is the most wanted criminal on the planet. BoomFuzzy the Unicorn is a rapist, murderer, cannibal, and sadistic tortures his victims to death. The world celebrated the death of the Fae king, but their joy was short lived as Quaraun was the Necromancer who resurrected the evil Unicorn and turned him into a Lich.
As a general rule, most of the population, Humans and Elves alike, see Quaraun as an evil super villain and lash out at him full force with everything they've got soon as they seen him. Witches are no exception.
Such was the case of the witch Mariasma in the Valley of the Katopas (Quaraun and the Vampire; Into The Swamp of Death).
Mariasma was a famous Witch.
People travelled from all points of the globe to be healed by her. In "Swamp of Death", Quaraun realizes something is terribly wrong with Unicorn (Gwallmaiic) who is dying.
The Lich spell is wearing off and the Lich, who should not be able to die, is suddenly fading out of existence.
In a panic, Quaraun takes Unicorn to Mariasma hoping she'll know how to cure the dying Lich. She does. She also is a good Witch and knows she has in her home, the two most evil, most dangerous and most wanted Wizards of all time.
Instead of helping Unicorn, she murders him. To which Quaraun responds by murdering Mariasma, every one in her family, every one in her village, and every last living being in the entire valley, including all the Katopas. In a fit of blind rage, the Wizard tears every last soul out of every living creature for miles around, including his two friends BeaLuna the Gnome and Bullgaar the Dwarf, and puts all of the souls into Unicorn to resurrect him. He then turns a knife on himself and tried to commit suicide and is only saved by the fact that Unicorn recovered in time to restore the dying Elf's health.
Because the story is told through Quaraun point of view, to the reader, Mariasma is portrayed as an evil monster, but to the world in which Quaraun lives, she died a hero at the hands of a monstrous villain.

Sorcery:

Because Demon have bright coloured hair (blue, green, pink, purple, etc) and tend to wear eye-popping neon, day-glow coloured clothes, Sorcerers are usually easy to identify by their bright coloured hair and wild fashions, which resemble 1980s' glam rockers.
Quaraun's teenaged lover GhoulSpawn is a "natural born" Sorcerer. He is a half-Elf/half Demon.
GhoulSpawn's father was an evil Demon who commanded an army of Ghouls. Because of this, he was known simply as "The Ghoul".
GhoulSpawn's mother was a Sun Elf whom had fallen in love with The Ghoul, but was forbidden by her family to have contact with him. She in turn ran away with her Demon lover, thus causing a war between Elves and Demons.
The Sun Elves tell a story of how their Princess was kidnapped and raped by the Ghoul, thus she gave birth to the Spawn of the Ghoul. Though his mother named him Glinta, she died while he was still very young, and his Elven kin, took to calling him GhoulSpawn as a way to brand him not one of then. He grew up constantly being told he was unloved and unwanted and should have been killed at birth, resulting in the very low self esteem he has.

GhoulSpawn is unable to remain in any one time, place or dimension long, because he was born in the Hell Dimension, which exists outside of the realm of time and space as we know it. The Ghoul tried to escape the Sun Elves by going to the distant future (1974) and leaving his half-Elf son and the boy's mother there to live among a band of LSD addicted hippie Humans whom drove a 1974 AMC Gremlin.
The Sun-Elves eventually found their missed she-Elf and brought her back to the 1400s where she belonged, but she refused to leave he half-Demon son behind.
Throughout the Quaraun series, you often see characters using the word Sorcerer has a sort of hate-slur or insult against all magic users in general.
Because of this, you see primary character, GhoulSpawn, often become nervous, shy, or embarrassed when people ask him what type of magic he does. He rarely calls himself a Sorcerer, instead using the term "Chaos Wizard", while Quaraun tends to refer to GhoulSpawn as "an Alchemist" and Unicorn just comes right out and says "he's a Demon".

All three of the main characters (Quaraun, Unicorn, and GhoulSpawn) tend to skirt the issue when it comes to any conversation about Sorcerers. This is largely due to the fact that GhoulSpawn was at one point attacked by an angry mob of "anti-half-Elf" Pure Blooded High Elves who brutally tortured, raped, and beat him then left him for dead.
GhoulSpawn was left naked and dying in the street of a large Elf city. By standers did nothing to stop the mob, and afterwards he was left to lie there several days, bleeding to death while no one stopped to help him.
As there are no laws against being a half-Elf, and there were laws against beating someone on basis of race, their defense later became to accuse him of being a Sorcerer, as there are laws against Sorcery.
GhoulSpawn has PTSD as a result of this event. He never says how old he was when this happened to him, but as he is the youngest character in the series and described as being "the equivalent of a 15 year old Human" at the time he meet Quaraun, and described this attack as having "happened years ago", he was very young when it happened and the assumption is that he was about 10 years old at the time the mob tried to kill him.
After this attack, with no clue where his father was, and his mother no dead and no longer able to protect him from the arrogant pure blooded High Elves, GhoulSpawn began using his natural born powers to open portals and try to retrace his steps to find his father. This resulted him him going back to 1974, finding the hippies and their drugs and their car. He lived with them til the 1980s, during that time becoming obsessed with the game Dungeons and Dragons.
GhoulSpawn would go on to combine the fictional spells of the Dungeons & Dragons game books, with his natural ability to cast magic, and taking LSD at the same time to enhance the spells, he became an "actual" D&D Sorcerer who really could cast the spells of his Player Character.
This however got him in trouble, as it drew the attention of the police, who then raided the hippie drug commune he was living in, resulting in him taking the drugs, the car, and the D&D spell books and escaping into a portal back to the past, where he meet up with and joined Quaraun and Unicorn. (All this happens in The City of The Screaming Statues, by the way, in case you are wondering what novel to find this in.)
GhoulSpawn is typical of a Sorcerer in the Quaraun series, in that he has Demon blood, was thus born with a Demon's natural ability to cast magic on some levels, has taking to self-teaching himself how to control the magic powers he was born with, is outcast from society because of his link to Demons, and is generally not well thought of, even though he is not in any way evil, and is in fact the only part of the cast who could be considered anything close to being a Hero.

...
Well, that's how I'm doing it in mine anyways. Not sure if that gives you any ideas for what to do with yours, hopefully it helps you out. In any case, good luck with it!
What are the socio-cultural implications of learning you can use magic? from worldbuilding
Magic exists in everything and in theory everyone COULD use it, but most everyone thinks of magic as mysterious and mystical so they don't realize it's accessible to everyone. Because of that mind set, people who do use magic are seen as though they were demi-gods (even though they are not). This makes some people worship them thinking they are a god, others become disciples thinking they are a prophet/miracle worker, and other people seeing them as evil and needing to be destroyed. But most people will just be scared and avoid them because they are weird/different.
Fanatical cultists control most, if not all, of the world's magic schools, and live in very isolated regions (tall frozen mountains, deserts, etc), so no one knows where they are or how to get to them, and the only way any one gets into those places are if they are abducted/kidnapped by one of the priests, when they were a small child. They take small children whom have not yet been taught to ignore imaginary friends or that magic was fairy tales, because power of belief plays heavily in how well a person can use magic.
Often the children are so young they do not remember their real families and only remember ever being with the priests. The priests teach them magic arts, so they learn very young (usually around 3 years old) that they have the skills to manipulate the world around them if they practice long enough to master the art of magic.
Training begins. Sadly training involves a long of self discipline that includes things like physical torture and prolonged fasting to the point of starvation, in order to train your mind to ignore your body. The result is many of the children die, often from starvation, long before reaching adulthood (thus why the priests keep their temples so well hidden, because people would put a stop to this if they could just find where it was the priests were hiding.)
Those who survive to adulthood, either try to go back to society and usually try to forget magic existed, or continue on to more advanced studies and become extremely powerful wizards.
Wizards are very rare, as so few are willing to stick with the tortuous self-discipline training. There are rarely more then 100 wizards alive at any given time, if there are that many. The few who do go on to become wizards, however, have formidable control over absolutely everything as they can bend energy to their will, thus changing the weather, raising the dead, changing physical objects (turing a flower into a butterfly), etc. The most powerful ones can walk through time to the past and future and can rewrite history.
People will pay you lots of money to use magic to chase monsters and enemies away or make magic items. But you will be forced to live in lower class neighborhoods, with pirates, thieves, drug dealers, prostitutes, and other people who are like yourself, not welcomed as "worthy" members of society.
In other words: you'll be very wealthy, but very lonely, highly sought after, but have no friends.
Many of the children who reach adulthood, make attempts to escape the priests. The ones who are successful usually try to find out who they are and where they came from and if possibly try to find their parents and siblings to be reunited with them.
If by chance you do find your family, chances are very high that they will treat you as a traitor/enemy/monster now that you are someone who controls magic. They may not even acknowledge you as being their son at all and likely will betray you to the first mob of wizard haters they find, because no one wants to admit there is a wizard in their family.
Outside of other wizards, wizards have no friends.
Because of the levels of self-denial and emotional distancing involved in training, wizards are rarely able to function in normal society, due to a lack of empathy for the pain and emotions of others, themselves having learned to ignore such trivial things are bodily pain or feeling emotions towards others. They tend to be emotional cold and distant, but also many are often very sad and depressed as many wizards do in fact desire companionship and want to feel love for and from others, but they've repressed these emotions so long that they don't know how to go about learning to feel emotions again. This makes wizards over all very lacking in social skills, which in turn results in them having difficulty adjusting from the isolation of the temple they were raised in, to living among people in the regular society.
Because wizards display emotional responses to others differently then is seen as normal, they are seen by most people as being insane and to be avoided.
Most people are quick to hire wizards when they are in trouble and need help, but are just as quick to run the same wizard out of town soon as they don't need them any more.
Every one wants a wizard when they are in trouble, but no one wants a wizard living in their town and no one is willing to be friends with a wizard.
In a world where many people have magic, how would a primary magic user stand out? from worldbuilding
I totally agree with this ^ answer right here. This is the way I do it. In mine magic is just a thing that's there, like a hobby and anyone can choose to do it or not. In my world magic is like writing or painting or cooking or sewing or auto repair or race car driving - you do it or you don't, and everyone does it at different skill sets. Some are hobbyists, some are scholars, some are career professions, a few are big time celebrities. For most people it's just seen as a silly hobby so almost no one even tries to do it.
People who do use magic have specific ranks or titles. I like the comparing them to sports in the real world as that makes a very good example of differences in types. Or even cooking as a comparison.
Like a Witch is someone who is basically self taught/home schooled by a parents or their grandmother, etc. So someone who plays sports with their family and friends for fun. May think about pursuing it as a career, but likely it's more for fun and giggles, like playing volley ball on the beach with your friends, with no one keeping score, witches' spells are mainly simple parlor tricks for show, something to do in your spare time, practical spells to help your friends with simple tasks. Like a home cooker - they can heat up a TV dinner in the microwave most of the year and cook a big meal for Christmas and Easter. They have the skill they need for everyday life.
Mages are see as the jack of all trades master to none types. They studied this. They studied that. They didn't finish any of the lessons. They are like the high school jocks who put the game before the education, but they were more interested in showing off to the cheerleaders then actually playing the game. Mages are like the high school dropouts, who were dropouts because they saw training as pointless and were not dedicated to an end goal. They have enough magic skill to allow them to show off, look big, and get the hot date, but put them up against the professionals and they'll fail fast. This would also be like that annoying woman you see at every church pot luck supper - the one that has to bring the most pies, the most casseroles, just to show off out great her cooking skills are, but then when you try her food it doesn't taste that good.
A Sorcerer would be someone who went out and did a lot of studying on their own, so somewhat like being a college football player. They REALLY want to be in a Big Leagues so they are working hard to get there. They know the spells not common to every day users. Like the grandmother who enter state fairs and win every prize in every category of pickles, jams, pies, and chilli. She knows cook and she had the blue ribbons to prove it.
Wizards are a rare few. Hard to come by. Only a few dozen exist. They are absolutely devoted to what they do and want to be the best there is at it. Like the Olympic gold medalist, these magic users trained above and beyond the norm to get where they are today. Just as Olympic gold medalists are rare and few, so too are top ranked chefs like Gordon Ramsey and Julia Child - they cooked their way to the top and ain't no one knocking them off their throne. Wizards are of this rank magic user.
And then, you have specialists... like a Illusionist is a wizard with special training in one area. A Demonologist practices another area. A Potions Master has his skills. A Necromancer has different skills. So like how one guy the quarterback and nothing else. He has a special task within the team. Or the French Pastry chef who specializes in decadent wedding cakes - he makes nothing else, he may fumble around with a backyard barbeque, but he makes the best damned cakes on the planet.
But yeah...
Yep. This ^ is so true.
The system I use works in my setting, because of the way magic is a skill anybody can learn, as opposed to being a gene or trait people are born with, so it might not work for every magic system. All you could do it try it out in your world and see if it fits. If it does, great, if not, then off to find something else.
And it's a long process too. I didn't come up with a magic system that fit for a long time. It took me several years of adding things, moving things, changing things, deleting things, before I finally got the magic system of my world to feel like it was a right fit for the story I wanted to tell. I think the magic system was the most difficult part of the world building process for me, because they are so many options, so many ways you can take it and I was wanting to add everything, but half the time stuff just didn't match with other stuff I already had.
For me, building the characters was easy peasey. Building the geography, no trouble. But building the magic system! Ugh! That was the hardest thing of all!
I am Scottish and speak Scottish English - Warlock is in fact a Scottish word, but it means “oathbreaker” the English translation of which is: “an immoral sinner who tells lies for a living”… basically in modern English it means “a scam artist”.
The word warlock has never had any connection to magic at all.
The connection between magic and the word warlock comes from the Vincent Price movie “Witchfinder General” where they said “male witches are called warlocks”.
The word warlock was not used in connection to magic prior to that movie.
Hoodoo is the Scottish word for magic. Hoodoo means "ghost" or "spirit". Magic in the Scottish mind set means "working with the spirits of nature" in other words, asking the Faeries/Fae/Little People for help with every day life.
A Hoodooer is a person who does magic in the Scottish language. Hoodoo meaning "one who communicates with the spirits/little people/Faeries."
Another word for Hoodooer is. Real Necromancers were nearly always Scottish, as Necromancy is a Scottish practice that the Scottish in turn picked up from the Magi... the Persian Gypsies who lived in Scotland (Alba) in Medieval times.
If warlock doe indeed have an olde use that means magic user, it did not come from the Scottish language. Most likely it came from the Bristish mistranslating what they THOUGHT the Scots MEANT to say, and so started a FALSE RUMOUR that the word warlock meant magic user, when in fact it was just arrogant white men, being arrogant white men and putting words in our non-white mouths, as usual.

More information about our language can be found on this website: https://www.iheardee.com which is written in my native language.
However, there is also other reasons why words might be misspelled, or why I might not understand someone when they speak to me.
My grandmother Helen Ricker Allen, was from Unst, Shetland, Scotland, and she the one who raised me. She taught me to read and write, but it was Shetlain that she taught me. She died when I was 8 years old, and I was locked in a woodshed after her furneral, I escaped the woodshed 27 years later at age 31, and have been trying to learn how to speak and write English since then.
It is a very great struggle.
At age 37 I took remidial reading and speaking classes at Southern Maine Community College, but we are Gypsies and Gypsy men do not allow us Gypsy women to have education, and so, while at college, on November 14, 2013, I was beaten with a golf club, while I was 8 months pregnet, breaking my spine, hips, and knees, killing my baby and leaving me quardepaleic since.
Now my primary focus these past 13 years has been on relearning to use my hand so I could type... as of 2023, I have regained the use of my right thumb, and first two right fingers, and after 10 years offline, I am back online due to I can use three finguers.
I never went to school, so I do not know maths and numbers and sciences, and I do not know what else would have been taught to me in school. We are Scottish Gypsies and Gypsy culture does not allow females to go to school. Being born female was already a great sin, but my grandmother took great risk in teaching me reading and writing. At 4 years old I was punished by my Uncle Bruce for knowing how to read, by being beaten in the face with a cinder block brick, that broke my right jaw and left me with garbaled near-mute spoken words ever since.
Because no one ever spoke words to be face to face from he time I was 8 years old until I was 37 years old (I escaped the room at age 27, but did not start college until 37), I have no training in how to vocally sound out or speak the words I write or read. I can read words, but I do not know how to sound out or say those words. I can write words, but I do not know how to match the written word against the spoken word. I struggle to associate spoken words at all, or make them match up with writen words.
Esentially, written words and spoken words are two completly seperate languages in my brain, and I have difficulty understanding spoken words.
If you say a sentance to me with your mouth, chances are very high I will have ZERO understanding of what you said and I will not be able to ander you.
However, if you WRITE down that exact same sentabnce, I can understand you and can type a written responce to you.
My doctors tell me this is a side effect of extreme isolation and neglect and lack of human contact during my toddler, childhood, teen, and young adult years, and that my brain never deveoloped to comprehend spoken vocal words due to no one ever speaking to me in over three decades of the first half of my life.
While I can read and write, American English (somewhat) I do no know how words are sounded out, what they are supposed to sound like. I readand write by shape recognition, not by sound/vocal recognition, so when reading and writing I do no "hear the words in my head" as I am told most people do when they read and write. In other words... I see "c a t" and think "c-a-t" I do not think "cat" nor do I "see" an image of a cat, no do I "hear" the word cat spoken. I'm told that this is very rare and that most people read and write by sounding out the words and linking them to visual mind images, while hearing the sound of the word in their head. I neiher hear words in my head no see images of things in my head. I'm told this is what makes me both a speed reader and speed writer, because I'm not tripped up by hear sounds or seeing images in my head like nomal people would be doing... however, I'm also told this is why my spelling and grammar are very poor, because my brain is not hear the sounds of the words or seeing visual images of the objects the words represent, so my mind also does not register spelling and grammer errors at all.
As I was only let out of the woodshed on Sundays to go to the Cape Elezabeth Ward Church of the August Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I was never allowed to go to school or hospital either. No adults ever talked to me because I was evil for comitted the sin of being born female, so I never learned how to speak properly and do not know how to sound out words to say them.
I was 42 years old, in 2016 when, while having an MRI for my spine, the doctors found out my speak issue was caused by a broken jaw as a toddler that was healed wrong because not being allowed to go to doctors. I had surgury to fix that, and since 2016 have been trying to learn how to use my jaw and touge so I can speak vocal words now.
Since 2023 my primary focus shifted to relearning to walk. I can now, in 2026, sit up for 2 or 3 hours a day, and can sand with a cane for a few minutes, and can walk for around five thousand feet in 2 to 3 segments a day, with the help of pushing my wheelchair like a walker.
As of 2026, with a slight return to using my fingers and legs, I am once again focused on trying to learn the American English, but I live in mortal fear of my uncles and male cousins, as they are so hateful of allowing me to have education.
have no one to help me to know if I am doing words correctly, and as such, I have no way of knowing if there are spelling and grammar errors, but I asume there are, and I fix them when I learn them, but I do not know what I do not know and spelling American words is a thing I do bnot know.
I have Low Fucntioning Kanner's Syndrom, also known as "RainMan Type of Autism" aka REAL and ACTUAL Autism, not to be confused with Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, or and of thr 861 illnesses on the Autism Spectrum. An Autism Spectrum Disorder is an illness that has symptoms similar to Autism but IS NOT Autism. If you have an Autism Spectrum Disorder, it LITERALLY MEANS you do NOT have Autism.
I am medically diagnosed as "kanner's syndrome, actual autism, the rainman type, profoundly retarded autistic savant, with a general IQ of 73, and an writing IQ of 221" but they added that they did not know how to properly diagnose me as I am "technically a feral child" and they don't know "how much is the autism, and how much is simple horrific levels of abuse and neglect induced post traumatic stress disorder that will go away with proper socilization".
It means I know how to write, I can write a lot, and it is next to impossible for you to teach me how to do literally anythig else because my brain only knows how to write and doesn;t know how to do anything else..
There's a reason, when I do book signings, people are quick to say: "Okay, what's the joke? why is this stupid retard here? where's the real author? I know this retard isn't the author. where are you hiding the author, why is this fucking retard here"
The end result is, I have near zero social interaction... my 3 years in college was the ONLY face to face interaction I have ever had with humans in my entire life, and I struggle deeply to understand MOST words used by MOST people when they ask me question. And so I suffer from a huge lack of understanding many words people say to me, how to translate those words into spelling, and how to translate what it is that has been said.
The fact remains hat until there exists a human on this planet who is willing to sit down and teach me what words spoken line up with and match what words written, this deficent is unlily to improve. But the fact also remains, that I am simply far too profoundly retarded for anyone to even try to make any attempt at all even to speak a friendly "hgelloe" or "good morning" when passing me on the street, so I have lost all hope of anyone ever either being my friend, being willing to teach me how to match spoken words to written words, or how to speak to other humans.

The remainder can only be accessed via the various links found throughout this site. This was done deliberately on my part, and I did it because the bulk of the pages on this website are chapters from 138 novels and 423 novellas, so only the first page of each novel and novella indexed by search engines, and the remainder are linked in order, one page at a time, via clicking "next page" at the end of each.

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....
... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.
While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground
On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.
She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.
The attack also triggered labour.
My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.
Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.
The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.
The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.
Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.
Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.
Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.
Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.
Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.
Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.
Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.
In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.
Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.
But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.
I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.
Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.
Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.
I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.
My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.
Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.
