A mysterious alchemist and healer found in a village, with a few oddly inhuman traits... They likely have Life Mana, but any other information is unknown. Art by Kritta!
2023-02-08 12:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI headed through the village in the general area that Alice had indicated the night before. Just as she’d said, it wasn’t hard to find the apothecary/doctor’s office combination.
It was one of the larger buildings in the village, which meant it was slightly larger than my dad’s bake...
2023-02-08 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few moments of hesitation, I used a pulse of mana to mark the Wyldwatch mission and tucked it into my pocket. While its rewards weren’t quite as hefty as the Spiritwatch had offered, it was still considerable, and I thought the plant clipping could be a useful thing for the garden that ...

Alvaro is the librarian that Malachi met. He has knowledge and mental mana types, and is roughly the same age as Malachi. Art by Kritta!
2023-01-26 18:31:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a short story, set circa three hundred years before the events of Mana Mirror, on a continent that's an ocean away from Mossford. In the modern years, Ama and Atsila are wise and just rulers on this continent, renowned for their mercy and wisdom, as well as their great love for one anothe...
2023-01-21 01:15:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Hope you have had a good start to the new year. I promised updates, so updates I shall bring...
The next few chapters of Mana Mirror are written and in the hands of beta readers, and should be totally up and running for February! Which, reminder, is when billing will resume -...
Heya! Here's some more art that I commissioned from Kritta on my Discord. Left to right is Malachi, Ed, Meadow, Orykson, and Ikki!

While I'm not chapter updating RIIIIIGGGHHHTTTT this moment, I did want to show off this art for Mana Mirror! Enjoy :)
2022-12-12 16:42:06 +0000 UTC View PostWhich of the longer missions does Malachi decide to take? This poll will run until January 9th, after which I have to start writing cuz my break will end soon! :)
2022-12-06 18:52:22 +0000 UTC View PostI could feel a new pool of power laying just outside of where I’d always associated my mana-garden being, much larger than the power in my ungated section of the garden.
“Cast the spell again, this time with mana from your first gate,” Orykson said.
I did as he said. It still ...
When we arrived at the Mossford Central Library, it had begun to drizzle, and I wished that I’d brought an umbrella. My suits may be resistant to dirt and grime, but they did nothing against simple rain.
Even in the rain, though, I couldn’t help but admire the library. The central libra...
2022-12-06 16:35:31 +0000 UTC View PostI studied the trail for a few moments as the carriage left behind me. I didn’t know the trails that well – it was rare for us to visit them growing up – but I checked the map for the trails that went by the most bodies of water.
I could have ignored the trails once I hit a river and h...
2022-12-06 16:35:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh, hey Malachi!” Liz called as she finished tracing a spell in the air. She rapidly filled it with a mix of lunar and desolation mana, then sent a lance of pressurized water firing out at Ed.
Ed crossed his arms in front of his face in an x-shaped block, calling on his spell to give h...
2022-12-06 16:34:44 +0000 UTC View PostI decided to start with the easiest task first, so I swung by my work. I was able to acquire a quarter of a pound of cow bones for two silver, and I went home to clean them out and break them into shards.
After that, I headed off to the tailor’s shop. The tailor, an old man, and his appre...
2022-12-06 16:34:25 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I’d been thinking and putting things away, Ed had wandered off to do something of his own, so I sat down on my bed. My mana had more or less recharged, so I laid the spells out on my bed in front of me. I sketched them out slowly, then began to pour mana into them.
Strangely, the wo...
2022-12-06 16:34:06 +0000 UTC View PostThen the power was gone, sucked back inside Orykson.
Even with it gone, I was having a hard time breathing.
Orykson was an Occultist?! I’d never felt seventh gate mana before, but that was unmistakably what he’d released into the air.
There were only a handful of people with...
2022-12-06 16:32:34 +0000 UTC View PostI was wandering around the career fair when a mage approached me. The mage was taller than I was by only a few inches, making him rather short, and he was dressed in a sharply tailored suit.
His skin was a shade or two darker than mine, but not by much. He was probably a fellow Mossford nat...
2022-12-06 16:32:09 +0000 UTC View PostOrykson floated in his castle, tinkering away with one of his projects, when a spirit flickered into existence next to him. He turned and glanced at his bound elemental.
“What is it?” he asked, his voice a rich baritone. “Have the results for the testing arrived already?”
As h...
2022-12-06 16:31:49 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at myself in the mirror and took in a deep breath.
Malachi – was I sure I was committed to that name? My brother had said it was too edgy, though personally, I was a fan of it.
To me, at least, it conjured up the image of a mage with solar and lunar mana, throwing a firebal...
2022-12-06 16:31:29 +0000 UTC View PostAs some of you may know, Patreon is slowly rolling over to a new billing method, which charges you when you sign on, and then that date on each month. You can read more about it here:
So, it's time for a long overdue update post for my patrons. This is gonna be a long post, so bear with me!
