Spellforms

Item from Mage Errant by John Bierce

The structured magical constructs through which mages channel their affinities — tattooed on skin, woven into equipment, or cast dynamically by specialists like Hugh who modify spell architecture in real-time.

Also known as: spellforms, spell forms, spellwork, spell architecture

What They Know

• Structured magical constructs that channel affinities into specific, controlled effects
• Three primary types: tattooed (permanent, on skin), equipment-woven (built into objects), dynamic (cast in real-time)
• Talia uses tattooed spellforms — blue geometric patterns inscribed directly on her skin
• Hugh specializes in dynamic spellform modification — altering spell architecture while a spell is running
• Equipment-woven spellforms allow enchanted items to function for non-mages or extend a mage's capabilities
• Hugh's dynamic spellform talent caught Great Power Kanderon's attention — it is extraordinarily rare
