Magus emblems!
After long last, I've completed one of the tasks I wanted to do when I started this Patreon: which is to make the Magus Emblems. The line runic versions didn't quite work out, so that idea was shelved for perhaps the ancient prototype times.

The modern versions would have improved technology to make these symbols, either to print, carve, and emboss on any material.

Merch for these designs are not out yet, as it would take some time for me to upload and tweak 12 versions (6 singular designs, 6 in grid patterns)

Cyan is a radiating candle or lamp, sitting patiently.

Orange is the formation of 5 swords to create a star. Can also be seen as carrots as a symbol of bounty.

Yellow is the combination of an arrow, a balance scale, and flying craft. Swift justice on wings.

Green is a protective shield. The symbol on the shield is an upwards progression of healing.

Blue is a formation of solid crystals while keeping the centered shape of a spinning top.

Purple is a weaved flower. Strings represent cumilative knowledge for the Magi, and flowers the beautiful perseverence of nature.

The following will be the explanations extracted from Chapter 1 of the Magus Compendium ( archiveofourown.org/works/6902… )

The Cyan Aspect

Patience, the root of Wisdom.

The wise are quick to listen and slow to speak. Those who bear this trait are known for their focused observation. These are careful people who’re steady on the job.

It’s considered the most passive of all Aspects with little flair to show. However it is also the most underestimated due to its inherent invisibility.

Majors of Cyan may have the following skillsets.

Phasing spells that collide upon the detection of movement.
Keen, intense focus. Enhanced senses and inbuilt mental-noise filtration.
Stealth magic. Invisible as long as immobile. This can take either in a literal form or as a subtle deflection of attention.
Limited precognition while idle or meditating.
When synthesized, Cyans are the basis of Focus Potions.

The Orange Aspect

Bravery, the root of Courage.

The courageous will fear, yet refuse to yield. They will charge head-first into a challenge and react on the fly. This is the Aspect of brave heroes throughout the ages.

Their athletic show of power catches the attention of the general populace. Those of this trait have a knack of picking up physical skills: be it sports, close-ranged combat, or other types of movement arts.

Majors of Orange may have the following skillsets.

Phasing spells that collide upon the detection of stillness.
Superior physical strength, contributing to increased speed and jumping power.
Power of Voices. Their loud shouts can startle or stun their target.
Limited precognition while in action.
When synthesized, Oranges are the basis of Energy Potions.

The Blue Aspect

Integrity, the root of Righteousness.

Those of integrity will not sway to the whims of others. The world may flip and change, but their personal pace keeps their feet on the ground.

Certain scholars debate that this Aspect should be ‘the root of Individuality’ and not ‘the root of Righteousness’. The Magus Association acknowledges these studies, but prefers to instill a strong ethical base into its students.

Convictions are hard to change on a Blue Major: they can either become saints or psychopaths depending solely on the conditions of their upbringing.

Majors of Blue commonly have the following skillsets.

Stability. Their good sense of balance allows them to traverse difficult and uneven terrain.
Reinforcement. Allowing an object or body to take more strain than normally possible.
Telekinesis, including gravity manipulation. Strength depending on individual.
High mental fortitude.
When synthesized, Blues are the basis of Stability Potions.

The Purple Aspect

Perseverance, the root of Intellect.

Disciplined study separates the true masters from the lucky students. Talents are wasted if not sharpened with deep and consistent practice.

Those of this Aspect are blessed with increased mental capabilities. Memories and analysis are their primary domain. Many of the world’s best intellectuals consist of Purple Majors, whether they realise it or not.

Majors of Purple may have the following skillsets.

Binding wire or web magic.
Enhanced memories and intellect. This leads to greater understanding about the subjects of their interest.
Basic sealing arts.
Quick analysis, almost to the point of a sixth sense. Heightens with experience.
When synthesized, Purples are the basis of Awakening Potions.

The Green Aspect

Kindness, the root of Altruism.

The kindest give without expecting anything in return. They may be jeered as fools, but throughout history these selfless ones changed the most lives.

This is the colour of nurturers and healers. Do not be fooled by their apparent meekness, for they will not hesitate to defend those under their protection.

Majors of Green may have the following skillsets.

Shielding magic.
Minor to moderate healing. Limited by stamina of giver and receiver.
Rooting spells. Different from binding. Compare between being pinned down to the ground and being chained to oneself. Roots belong to the former category.
Reconstruction of objects.
When synthesized, Greens are the basis of Cleansing Potions.

The Yellow Aspect

Justice, the root of Truth.

Those who dispense justice must seek out the truth, otherwise the act becomes corrupted vindication.

This is the colour of law-enforcers, activists, and investigators. Their sense of outward justice drives them to expose lies even if this means going against social norms.

Along with Orange, this is the other most well-known ‘heroic’ colour. When people think of ‘magic’, it’s often linked to a Yellow Aspect.

They’re long-ranged specialists with the most variety of offensive magic. A flash of their power serves both as a blinder and as an intimidation tactic.

Majors of Yellow may have the following skillsets.

Projectile magic. In the form of bullets, missiles, or even flying blades.
Excellent accuracy.
Combustion.
Limited Truesight.
When synthesized, Yellows are the basis of Truesight Potions.
