If you want to give your fantasy characters a little something extra to make them truly memorable, be it a strange habit, a peculiar phobia, or a unique talent, consider these quirks.
Magical Mirroring
Their magic is influenced by the emotions of those around them. The spells they can cast are limited or amplified by other people’s needs, wants or emotions.
Appearance Shift
Their appearance changes when using magic, relevant to each spell. If they cast a fire spell, their hair may turn fiery orange. If they cast an ageing spell, they may age.
Element Limits
They struggle to use magic tied to a specific element after a traumatic event. For example, after a character falls into a lake, they may struggle to control their water powers.
Spirit Conjuring
They accidentally conjure spirits when they’re stressed. The second a minor inconvenience happens, their eyes start glowing and dark spirits start spawning.
Weather Control
Their emotions impact the weather. They practice mindfulness to control this power but during moments of extreme grief or joy they can’t help but to create severe weather conditions.
