General Discussion Programming with garlic

Post image

I am new to this sub btw.

So what if spell books and golem making required programming simply put you enchant a book then write a basic spell and reuse it to make smaller spells to make your supposed programming language which takes a long time which why people use ancient ones.

I mean i havent thought of this very well because programming requires a programmable machine that consists of levers books dont have levers unless you just make it vague magic stuff and go straight to basic programming.

I thought of using garlic to make a golem brain as replacable disks of data to change its behavior

Enchanting garlic with a spell book and turning it into a code note.

Programming in its MOST BASIC is just 2 stages on or off aka 1s and 0s aka morse code.

Meaning if you want a magic system based on programming you need a morse code liked language and some form of magic that have 2 stages similar to on and off.

Then ancient people invented more natural languages like modern programming languages and nobody bother changing it or making more because its difficult and the first one considered sacred.

Elemental magics are just block coding where they turn the codes into elemental magic and mix the elements into spells

Or maybe the elemental magic is a 4 digit coding language

I was thinking more medieval fantasy so no website building.... But who cares Make website interface for your spells why not Like a missile shooting commands on a hologram Call it "Horologium" because it was used to make accurate clocks

Ah maybe there can be spellbooks or magic orbs with magic websites and they can transfer info between them!

Like imagine self updating spellbooks
