The sentence of Hunger

Diary: Infusing 1: making wizards.

I still remember how people in my old world thought about how magic worked, and must say that is quite amusing how right some people's beliefs were.

which? simple, the theory of wizards and sorcerers, and believe me, there is a big difference between them.

to put it short, All creatures that can cast a spell through their horns or when they had been born, are "sorcerers", while any other creature that manages to cast a spell by other means is a "wizard."

how do ones become a wizard? is even possible to cast magic without a horn coming out of your head?

Yes, but it does require one to know what the fuck they are doing.

In this world, most, if not practically all, have some grade of magic, some are born with bodies that instinctively know how to use 'Passive' magic, while others are born with more 'active magic', some other species have the bad luck to not born with any of them, their body just having magic inside of them that use only for their 'immune system'.

But there are ways to change that, some faster than others... and many are illegal, since stealing the horn of someone else to use as a focus is very fuck up, even if the person is already dead... apparently.

So, is there a safe and legal way? yes, obviously there it is.

Will ponys actually use it at this age? nope, because they are dumb and are blindsight since they are literally people born with a magic stick in their head that let them do it 100 times more easily.

That and the only species that found this discovery of the century at this age are dead and probably extinct.

Did you know that the Rams were not born with the natural gift of being able to use magic? well, that is true, it was not a Lie when I said that only the direct bloodline of Grogar was able to go the easy path of the sorcerer, but I didn't say there were other ways to win the magic.

How? there more easy and safe one, another magic user that knows what is doing.

Believe me when I said that the most important part is the second one because if you fuck up in the ritual you literally will explode the magic veins of the person that are you trying to give the gift of magic, most of the time ending in dead or permanent damage.

What things do you need to do to grant someone the gift?

There are easy steps.

1.-Find someone who wants to use active magic: who wouldn't? good question, after all, in the end, is always a plus, but the real problem is knowing the risk of 'dead' that the procedure can cause, it chances are never 0%, even if the person that has been doing the infusing has never gotten someone kill, that and is not as easy as throwing a fart after you learn the magic, you will have to train it every day if you want to even cast telekinesis, ones have it easier than others, but still it requires effort.

2.-Infuse/activate the person: most creatures have magic veins, and even the one that does not, can make ones or use other methods to store magic.

The treatment is easier to explain than do.

First, you need to take precautions to secure the life of the person, a magic circle that cut all magic around it should work just fine, and also you have to make a circle that would close the 'magic veins' in case the worse was to happen

Second, once the 'ritual' is started, the already magic user would have to stimulate the magic veins of the person with their own magic, getting the veins bigger and more able to be used for magic spells of more strength.

that period of stimulation can take up to only minutes to many days, it depends how big are the veins of the person to be infused.

That is the catch if someone were to accidentally 'stimulate' or put 'too much magic' more than the vein was used to handle, these veins have a good chance of just exploding, which is extremely painful. That adds to the risks of just 'opening' a vein, which is a lot worse because if you don't know how to fix it, it gonna give you a slow and painful death.

Why? simple, most magic creatures are used to always having magic inside of them, even if they don't use it in a noticeable way, it has gotten used so much that it would rather create magic than use all the vitamins and nutrients from the foods you eat.

Meaning if a vein is 'bleeding' out, it would try its hardest to create the magic back, which includes not actually feeding your main organs and just trying to put the magic back into your system.

Why does it hurt? because your body and soul know that something is wrong and they will not shut up about it until you do something about it, and pain is the easiest way to scream at you.

So yea, infusing someone is not a walk in the park.

Also, the rams manage to find a way to create a 'magic core' for those creatures without one (that core creates pure magic that you can use)

And there is a way of creating magic veins, but usually is a lot more painful, since... is the equivalent of doing a tattoo.

3.-practice magic: Once you have magic, you are still not out of the woods, because now you need to make naturally your magic core bigger and veins more capable of using it.

That and not having a 'horn', but to be more accurate, a 'bone' exposed, then for you casting magic is the equivalent of putting a heavy set of armor on a martial artist that used to no use anything to fight... Ok, that is a terrible example, it would be more accurate to say that is like having a hand in your mouth and trying to speak, if you scream very loudly, people will manage to hear you and understand you, but is incredibly tiring and hard.

In other words, your flesh makes casting magic incredibly awkward.

So the horns work like a direct 'exit gate' and 'cup' to which throw out the magic you are casting, so, unless you are very talented in this, you will need an external focus to which throw your magic more easily.

The horn also helps in the weaving of the spell.

Many things can have a magic flow, and if you have the means you can even create a better magic focus than a horn.

And you may ask, why did the rams invest so much time into this?

That simple, even if they all had horns, they saw how only a few of them could cast magic, so they thought that was unfair to the others, so they ask to the aspect of magic what they could do about it.

And no, the aspect did not just pass them the answer on a silver platter, he only told them that it was possible to obtain magic without 'taking' it from someone else, and so, after millennials, they manage to make this method possible, the only reason I can do it so perfectly is thanks to the great mind of Hope.

It still surprises me how good his mind was, normally when I eat the memory of someone and look at it like it was a video, 60% of the stuff is out of focus, but with his memories, all is in focus, heck, I can even read books when he only glanced at them... I don't know if it is because I "own" the memory or not, but is pretty handy, literally I can read all the books of the last "great library" if I want to.

(btw, is not like I actually have all the info memorized, I only have it in my mind without being organized.)

Man, is a surprise how all unicorns of pony kind don't care enough about the other races of ponys to actually invest in a safe way to give magic to the others... probably is by the fact that 80% of the nobles in Canterlot are unicorns.

They have a tendency to look down on creatures without horns... and giving magic to the other races would make them "less special."

Don't you love it when people are racist even to their own people? It surprise me that they had started again another "race" war... Probably since War, it is playing passive ever since the "news" come to us.

Still from what I can see the pony military is pretty... bad, probably because they had their "god" papering them all the time.

If they were to start a war right now it would be a very bloody one, I can only hope that the other species kept their mouth shut when I told them that I was a demon.

Diary: infusing: magic affinity.

As you can guess, there are different types of magic and magic cores, ones better or worse at casting some spells.

The rams manage to create many artificial cores which use to infuse people, making them able to be good at anything they wanted. (Is incredibly hard to do, since it needed to be compatible with the body of the person, and most rams didn't need it since they already had a natural magic core

But many species already have one, so they have to do with what they got.

I took some time to infuse many species to see what magic they are good at... and I also may or not infuse many dragons and the dragon lord Torch itself, like part of a treaty to not hunt demons... also as a fallback plan in case I needed to deal with Celestia, which It looked like he needed time to actually manage the feet to move the sun, I can only hope that he can move it now.

but that was not the biggest favor that I did to him anyways.

I did try to teach him how to infuse dragons, but he may or not may cause some "accidents" that probably make him not try again.

but anyways, already-infused creatures tend to have 'sorcerers' offspring, so they should be fine with how many dragons I infused.

That and dragons are known for living for a long time, so yea.

but I'm losing the point.

The point is that every magical core has its ups and down, which makes sense having in mind that ponys have their 'special' talents, which is the equivalent of a magical core of its own.

quick note, If you 'remove' a cutie mark from a pony, it would also take all their innate magic, I can only say that it sucks to have a magic core so obvious, but is kinda neat, when my powers were at it full strength it was easier for my to 'eat' their cutie marks than giving them the traumatic experience to lose a horn or wings or... nothing, it was really easy to control an earth pony compared to the other twos.

The diary: Familiars.

In time, I have learned that some 'spells' are 'universal', meaning that all can use them if they know the steps to take, and the ones that are 'infused' can cast them without any components

One of them I called "find familiar", why? because I now hate the word contract and "pledge servitude" does not sound nice to the tongue.

Also, there is the fact that with enough magic you can call upon a totally magical familiar, but if you want to do that, you need the right components to cast the spell... that and I already have one, the problem is I don't have enough power to create his body for now.

So what does it do? It let you make a co- I mean, hire a companion, yes, and by doing that you pay them in benefits and quality of life.

Literally in quality of life, since once you form the contract, the familiar obtains extra years to their lifespan.

But it does not finish there, you can also grant them power depending on yours and also you gain the advantage of being connected.

You can do magic? they are now able to cast little cantrips, if not, full magic if you are powerful enough or they have been practicing with their new magic core, plus the fact that you can use them as a focus if they are not far enough.

You are extra strong or healthy? they gain a constitution equivalent to your own, and the same goes for you if they are stronger in certain aspects.

You can actually speak? they can too if they couldn't before, if your bond is deep enough, you may learn how to speak to the species of your familiar.

etc etc.

The only catch is that you have a % of that benefit, and if you gave the 100% to one of your familiars, then you wouldn't be able to give them that benefit to your other familiars, this only applies to things like magic powers or special skills you have.

Also some of the creatures that you make a pack me not able to "handle" some of your powers, so you can literally explode the proverbial balloon.

But in case you don't like that you can also give them your own right to your powers, but I wouldn't do that even if it is the end of the world... only if I'm dying, but trowing all the force of my aspect to an unprepared vessel will also explode... in a mist of blood.

Another neat thing is that you can speak to them anywhere anytime, but probably that is because of my aspect since the other user can only do that with a distance of 500 meters to 2 kilometers, perhaps even more if your magic is powerful enough.

You can also see through their eyes and speak through them.

Do you know the neat thing? That you can do all that even if you are blind, deaf, or mute., that was actually one of the reasons why this spell was created, not for charity at the beginning, since the wizard that made it only create it with the intent to help himself, after the accident that had left him blind and deaf.

After all, you can not keep doing alchemical and magical concoctions if you can't see or hear, and a 'sensing' spell only got him so far in actually making an artifact to see or hear again.

So after a while, he manage to create a spell even in that condition, and after casting a spell of 'sensing life' he manage to cast it into one of his lab rats (literal rats), which thankfully had a bond strong enough that manage to make the spell to work.

And so was created this spell that could literally help the handy cap to see and hear again.

Why do ponys not use it? because guess what!?!?! it was a ram the person that made it.

Fuck you too pony kind, fuck you too.

now apparently is a 'rare' spell that the deer folk learns as part of their 'druidic' nature, pretty neat indeed, maybe should go pay them a visit and ask if they had seen any Rams alive...

I still can't believe I can't feel the hunger of any of them... to be fair I don't have a full grip on my powers still, so maybe that is the reason.

I sure hope so.

Also, for the ones that are not initiated in magic, the components are the following.

-chalk with gem dust or "mana" inside it, aka, magic chalk (to write magic symbols)
-something that contains your "essence" and the animals.
-A object that contains magic, (Gem dust or 'unicorn dust' are the easier to get)
-paper where you write the terms of service. (Fuck the C word)
-Something of importance for you. (The more important the stronger it's the first bond)
-A animal companion which understands the pros and negatives of the spell.
-The "right" incantation.
-Something that the animal may consume of you.
-Fire.

I will put the "magic symbols" on the back of this page.

First, you shall put the objects with the essence inside the paper after you had written the terms of service, then preferably in a dark room where the only light of the place shall be the fire that you will use in the ritual.

around the two of you should draw the magic symbols, if you know the symbols of "protection" you can add it without problem, in case the ritual goes wrong, although it is unlikely.

When you are beside the animal, You shall say and make sure that it undertand the "terms of service", if for some reason you try to let something out, the spell will not work.

Then you shall say the incantation using 'emotions' as a catalyst to start the spell, the incantation has to be "right" in the sense that it has to move your "heart strings" and you have to put the following "emotions": Attachment, love (any kind), or "friendship"/"partnership".

The tricky part is that you need to have a good "link" with the animal (that only if you aren't a wizard or a sorcerer and none of them are adding you.) If you are feeling the same "link" of emotions, you will be able to make the pack with them.

After you start hearing the chimes, you shall throw the "magic" into the fire, if it changes color you are on the right path.

When you are done, put the "Terms of service" in the fire and drop of blood of the animal and you.

The fire should start burning like you just had throw gasoline, there you shall burn the object of importance for you and give something to consume to the animal.

If the pact was done right, you will notice immediately, as your magical core or "bond" will be forged, connecting the two of you together.

In case you are trying to make the spell like a magic user, then I shall write the spell "matrix" down here.
