Experimental Magic ✔ by ajwoodward

Two types of magic divide the world the Tarby family lives in. There are those who practice magic built on tradition set in stone by the ancient spell book and those who dare to experiment and create their own. Those who step outside the confines of the ancient spell book are seen as dangerous troublemakers who have no place in the society created by the powerful elites. Witches who practice experimental magic are often shunned and ridiculed for their beliefs while traditionalists are praised for upholding the status quo. Like the world they live in, the Tarby family is also divided. In the face of adversity, the siblings were forced to choose a side. The youngest of four, fifteen year-old Meadow is torn between her strict, by the book sisters and her unorthodox, exhibitionist brother. While her two sisters Misty and Millie chose adherence to traditional standards, her brother Markos rejected the ancient teachings and dove deep into experimental magic. For years, the once inseparable family has been plagued by hatred and division stemming from the sides they've chosen. As the challenges they face become more difficult, the siblings must find a way to come together or be forever broken by a system designed to tear them apart.

Jade is on the run. To escape her old coven, she pretends to be normal. Just some run-off-the-mill witch. Certainly not someone powerful and especially not a life weaver. Taking on the position of the town witch in a seemingly idyllic, quiet, and desolate town seemed like the perfect plan to lay low for a while until she meets Paxton--shifter, Supernatural Security Division agent, and worst of all: witch hunter. When a dark ritual is performed just outside of town, all signs point to the works of a powerful witch. The only problem: Jade is the only witch. Now she has to work with Paxton to find the real culprit before her identity is exposed. The longer she stays, the harder it gets to leave. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that a high politician is not only behind the attacks, but after something specific. The town guards its own secret, one that forces Jade to compromise her carefully crafted identity or risk the safety of her new home. When her past and present collide, Jade needs to finally face those who have been after her powers all this time without losing everything she's built in her new home. *** Cover made by @allrenwrote

The Mystery at Trida Academy | Fantasmical 2023 by StephanieProchaska

Second place in the Fantasmical Story Competition. Alaina, a semi-reclusive elf with questionable fire magic, joins a mysterious stranger. Together, they must travel through twelve fantastical realms, defeating dangerous monsters in order to save her sister. Alaina grew up in the small village of Koh-i-noor with her parents and two sisters. Her oldest sister was the village beauty, and even though her family wasn't wealthy or connected, rumors of her elegance and grace traveled the countryside. She married a prince and moved to the capital. Then there's her younger sister, gifted in both earth and water magic; she's one of the most talented magic users in over a century. And Alaina? She's nothing like either of her sisters. She's got fire magic, but she's more likely to burn the house down than to light the hearth. But that doesn't bother Alaina - she's perfectly fine, even with unreliable magic. She lives in the small cottage her parents left her, along with her loyal, if somewhat yippy fox, Cinna, tending her garden and selling the sweetest strawberries that Koh-i-noor has ever seen. But when her sister sends a cryptic word that something's wrong at the Trida Academy, Alaina must abandon her solitary life to save her sister. Cover image by AndreasAux from Pixabay
