Working on a new Book series "Wytch Stone"

[sirbrad]

A few years back I turned out a short series of Game Books set in the world of Lone Wolf for my Nephew, a Hard Drive crash killed my Digital copy and the kids mother threw out the copies I had printed for him. being a high functioning Dyslexic my hand written notes (that where incomplete anyway) are little more than chicken scratch even to me, so the books are now lost.

I'm thinking of just writing a series just for me so I can say I've done it again to assure my self that what I did in the past wasn't just lightning in a bottle.

For the Players Character I'm going to use a Wytch Chyld like first appeared in the D20 RPG. in place of Disciplines the Character will have access to the five "Good" Ritual Paths, "Voice of Power", instead of just having "Magical Weapon" their will be "Mystic Crafts" that lets them make their own magical weapons, Power Stones, Wytch Keys and Ritual Tools. but really for the scope of the books just give them a magical weapon, two more abilities not found in the D20 RPG class will be a "Psychic Discipline" and a "Counter Spell" and I'll tease a capstone ability of "Forbidden Knowledge".

the Character will also have access to a short list of Skills, all will be useful and include "Arcaniam" (Magical Theory), Occult, Alchemy, Healing and Magic Item use.

the Character will start at third rank, they get one Ability per Rank and one skill at each even numbered rank.

1st book will be about escaping from their home before they are discovered by agents of the Wytch King

2nd book will have them trying to find a safe place and stumble across the first of the Witch Stones (Te McGuffin of the Books) that offer them the knowledge and power to protect themselves from the Minions of the Wytch King

3rd-6th books will have them hunting down the other Wytch Stones

7th book will have them go on their "Forbidden Knowledge" search and confront an enemy they made in the first book, at the end they will have a revelation that there are a collection of now lost ritual paths and a collection of Wytch Stones that contain the forgotten knowledge (a tease for books 8+) and a posible way to defeat the Wytch King.

Ability: Mystic Crafts, Most of a Wytch's magic relies on sometimes lengthy rituals (See Ritual Paths)but an other major focus of study is the crafting of Magical Aids like Ritual Tools, Foci, Talismans and Charms to store the magic of their rituals. At this time the Wytch dose not need foci like Power Stones or Witch Keys to use their relatively minor rituals in a timely manner (though they will be of grate use should they acquire them). The Wytch has bean forced to suddenly flee and not had time to craft any of these items. but if they possess this ability they will have bean able to bind a number of Minor Enchantments to either their Staff or Dagger making it a Magical Weapon that gives them a +1 Combat Skill when used (as the Wytch becomes more powerful so will the enchantments they can bind to their weapon), further if their Ritual Tools are damaged, lost or destroyed they can use their Mystic Crafts ability to repair or replace them, if they do not possess this ability they will have to use other means to replace them.
