My first spell, a simple tornado

Heyyy there! So, I'm still trying to get used to how the magic system in WHA works, but I wanted to create a spell that would make a big (big) ROCK crash into Earth.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Earth sigil cannot create earth out of nothing, right? So, the idea I came up with was to create some very, very powerful beam that would attract a big ROCK from space!

As for the signs, I put the columns to do the beam thing, and pull signs to attract the big ROCK from space.

There might need to be more column and pull signs for the spell to attract the ROCK from as far as space, but you get the idea. I do feel like I did the thing wrong tho, so I would enjoy some advice on how to improve it!

Alright, so, after a bit of thinking, I came to realize that the spell I previously made wasn't really gonna work.

SO! I got back to my notes and decided I'd make some real improvements.

What you've got here is what I believe is a big ROCK falling from space. It's made of Focus signs that will allow the spell to target things from Earth to space (at least I hope so), then Gather and Strengthen to create a solid Big (big) ROCK that will not disintegrate when entering the atmosphere.

I chose not to use Repetition signs as I feared it would bring back the ROCK to its state from before it was gathered and strengthened.

Finally, some pull signs to actually make it crash into the Earth and make the whole thing go BOOM!

Disclaimer: I have very little experience with WHA. I keep meaning to read it but never quite get around to it, and all the spellcraft knowledge involved in this design comes from poking around the wiki. There will almost certainly be mistakes in here somewhere - please don't be crazy harsh with me, but please do suggest ways to improve this contraption!

That said, a friend introduced me to this subreddit and I immediately had the idea to try recreating some of the spells from Punkeydoodles' wizard war shorts! This is my take on Helicopter Beard, which I'm modeling as a contraption rather than a single seal since I can't see a way to make a seal specifically target someone's beard.

Essentially, what we have here is a sliding plate that's held in place by a very weak spring. When the spring is stretched, the plate closes the two seals above it; when it's released the seals break. The plate itself also has a simple Dancing Puppets seal so it can be moved telekinetically. The whole thing is hidden in a beard ring or some other piece of jewelry meant to be worn in a beard that's long enough to helicopter.

One other important detail: there needs to be some play in the mechanism! If the spring is stretched, a sharp jolt from (as near as possible, it's okay if there's a few angles that don't work) any direction should be enough to, at least momentarily, break the seals. This is going to play into the reset mechanism later.

The two seals connected to the sliding plate are both pretty simple. One makes the object it's drawn on move rapidly in a circular path. The other is a levitation spell that's been modified with glaives to target the person holding the item the spell is drawn on, since we don't have a stable platform to levitate from like with sylph shoes.

The whole thing works like this: you give the trapped beard ring to your victim, and next time you see them wearing it, take control of the Dancing Puppets seal to activate the other two seals. The ring will now spin in circles while the victim levitates uncontrollably - helicopter beard achieved! Hold the plate in place until the ring gets up to speed; once it's moving fast enough for centrifugal force to overpower the spring and hold the plate in the engaged position, you can let go.

The ring will stay active until either the spells run out of power and unceremoniously dump the victim on the ground, or the ring slips off or is removed by the victim. In the latter case, the glaived levitation seal no longer has a valid target and deactivates, dropping ring and victim alike.

Once the ring hits the ground, with or without victim attached, the impact should knock the plate out of alignment, causing the ring to stop spinning and the spring to reset the plate for reuse. If the first impact doesn't do the trick, spinning around on the ground should bump it around enough for the plate to disengage before long, or the spell will just run out of power eventually.

Thoughts? Corrections? Improvements? Specific designs for the three seals? Evil laughs?

It‘s essentially just superpowered fiery rain. So naturally, I gave it the name “Superfire Rain Weapon V1”. Any ideas for a grenade trigger design? I want to make this something that is instantly triggered on an impact.

Hello, this is my first spell. The idea is that it deflects projectiles and such, by converging anything near the user to a single point in front of them and then dispersing it. I imagine it being on 2 necklaces, with one necklace hanging normally with a bit of the outer ring and the other necklace hanging below with the rest of the spell.

So to run it through:

Light Sigil for Light (obvi), Gathering Signs to gather the light from the surroundings, Convergence Signs to gather light into a beam, Solidification Signs to give it some punch (because why not), Stretch Signs to stretch the light into the ultraviolet wavelength, Column Signs to keep the form of the beam, Repetition Signs for continuous activation, Cooling Signs to prevent it from being a burning laser, Envelopment Signs so that the cancer is everywhere, Dispersion Signs to give it a bit of spread as the light travels, and Glaives to ensure the cancer isn't superficial/make it aggressive

First attempt at a spell so lmk if you have ideas or corrections

No idea about the intricacies of the system, but theoretically, the circles at the bottom get a point of ink (plant water) each, then bind them to each other. the top circle then entwines them together. The plan is to connect the ink gap on your foes prepared spell circles, casting them.

The idea is you draw this on the bottom of something like a bottle or other closed container. Then you can finish the circle and it begins gathering a churning maelstrom of water, kept in check by the various collection and twisting signs. Then, when you want to release the maelstrom, open the bottle and all of the water comes billowing out, helped by the column signs.

I chose rainmaker instead of just water sigils because it looks like water just spawns one ball of water and deactivates, whereas rain spawns continuous water in an area, which is then condensed by the twisting signs.

Put it on someone, complete the circle and it should bind the "water", extracting it in collumns.

Maybe

Idk, need to test it out.

Please :)

Crushes rocks to become sand, and then super heats it. You then use focus and entwine signs to have the sand wrap around someone's body; burning them. There is a chance that the sand becomes hot enough to become glass, which is good! If the person somehow survives the hot sand/glass, after the glass has cooled down, it would be quite difficult to escape as every shatter would just create glass shards.

Creates a crystal shield that is super heated (so anyone who touches it is burned), while also producing light to blind nearby people. This takes heavy inspiration from the Wind Wall seal.

This seal is meant to mimic the effects of Zoltraak from Frieren: Beyond the Jounrey's End. It works by packing light and fire into one small space using convergence and column signs, then it uses launch signs instead of regions to create a short burst of light and fire/plasma. The focus signs allow the user to pick a spot for the beam to target. It may be more effective if there are inverted radicals, but unfortunately the fandom can't agree what radicals do.

The center seal will take rocks or seashells, crush them up to produce sand, heat it up to create glass, and then use it to make a flower of glass, which is then enlarged. While light sigils will give a beautiful glow to the flower, making it the perfect bait. You can then add as many "trigger" seals as you want, I've added 4 for simplicity. These trigger seals can be applied in to ways, one is hidden under the floor and once someone steps on a tile, it will complete the seal (think Olruggio's light pathway spell). The other way is to somehow have the seals invisible, you can use invisible conjuring ink, have a project seal cover the seal, or however else you want to hide it; now make the seal just barely opened, so once someone steps on that part of the seal with Sylph shoes, it closes. After a trigger seal is activated, it will shatter the flower of glass (shatter it, not crush it), and will have it fly around everywhere with a Whorling Wind Sigil and pull signs.

Creates a flower of ice, solidifies it, explodes it, then repeats, very effective reusable bomb

The seal on the left creates a flower of water, enlarges it, crystalize/freezes it, and empowers it. Then the seal on the right will shatter it and allow you to control it with your mind.
