[Image Description : a series of 4 pictures in which Marcus Law explains the basics of blood magic while Leo, Zapp, and Sonic annoy each other in the background.

In the first picture, Zapp holds Leo up above the ground by manipulating some blood tentacles of sorts. Leo shouts "Zapp you asshole" while Zapp just goes "lol" and Sonic looks at him, meanwhile Marcus holds up his hand to show off what Zapp is doing and says "This is a blood fighting technique."

Picture 2 follows up with Marcus pointing to a white projection screen that shows a cut of a blood vessel, with blood cells marked with a star/pentagram, an arrow points to one of the blood cells with the text "magic blood cells?" Marcus continues his explanation with "Think of it as 'magic inside the blood'. It's a lot like the Blood Breed actually."

Picture 3 has Marcus explaining the next slide, which shows an example of a "sigil written in blood" (not stated, but it's Marcus' own signature sigil) and a container of blood spiking in a specific direction, labeled "tracking technique based on sameness." Marcus says "Blood magic, on the other hand, is 'magic done with blood'. The most basic form would be blood sacrifices for summoning stuff."

Picture 4 concludes with the projection screen gone and Zapp back in frame, right as Sonic jumps at his face and he screams in response. Marcus has his arms crossed and his eyes closed, and finishes his little blood magic speech with "It's the form of magic most accessible to humans. Most don't even try, though."]

had a dream about Daniel Law recently, and it made me remember i never actually posted my "magic theory" doodles i talked about like idk. 4 years ago ?

ft. Marcus as a blood mage and a narc, since at the time i made this specific AU the lad hadn't appeared yet

and here's some examples of spells and sigils Marcus uses in the AU, specifically the ones he uses on himself

the first picture shows the places where Marcus carved them, on his left shoulder and pectoral

next to it we see a protection spell, which is basically a circle written in esoteric runes, with text reading "if left empty, protects against small misfortunes." the one Marcus has close to his heart isn't empty though, and on the same image we can see the sigil inscribed in the middle of the spell, labeled "'nightmare' sigil"

(basically, the way it works is that you write a representation of the thing you want protection against in the middle of the spell circle. for stronger protection, which i didn't detail in the picture, you would need to add another spell level around the first circle, resulting in a series of concentric circles for very strong barriers. you can also tie together multiple protection spells together by inserting them in the runes of a larger spell circle and leaving that spell empty)

the third picture shows a square spell with the sigil for "energy" in the center. the label says "energy spell - provides the equivalent of an espresso." there is a bottom note saying "square spells are augmented by adding the inside sigil at 1-4 corner(s) - ❗ the effect is exponential ❗"

(square spells don't have a built-in function, unlike protection spells, which makes them extremely flexible to use, but the exponential reinforcement can be a little unwieldy, if not outright dangerous in certain situations, if the spellcaster isn't careful with their architecture)
