Edeia are composed of Idea magic, a form of energy that could give them the power to bend the world to their whims. What do they use their magic for? What are their favorite ways to use their powers? Do they only use their magic for their own benefit, do they use it to aid or harm others?

You may submit up to two art entries for this prompt. 

Art Prompt:
Depict an Edeia using their Idea magic abilities. Include a blurb explaining the ability they are using and the context of the image. 

• Background: The background can be abstract. 

Writing Prompt:
Create writing featuring your Edeia using their Idea magic abilities. 

This world once belonged to the sea. That time is past, now... but I do find myself enjoying the places where the sea has reclaimed what has been made of the surface.

— Roscha

The world of Ideation is a world of many environments - the mundane, the magical; the natural, the artificial, the reclaimed. There are fantastical places hidden during Secrecy, only to be reopened in Reunion. 

What kind of environment does your Edeia enjoy? Do they like being in a forest, or perhaps in the mountains, or some other not-exactly-normal landscape?

Design Prompt:
Design a magical environment in the world of Ideation. These are locations that may have formed through the influences of one Edeia, multiple, or more spontaneous causes; they may have formed in any Age, but would be hidden in a Sanctuary during Secrecy if they existed at the time. These environments can be natural or have built structures. Abstractions do not qualify. 

One example is the Hydrean Realm:  Brilliantly blue crystals glow faintly where they are embedded in disembodied cliffs, held together by only roots and magic. They exude a strong hum of energy, a wavelength that feels like a vibrating hum. Water cascades from clusters of earth floating far above them. The hydrean crystals that this place is named for generate water of unparalleled purity, in addition to exuding magic and electromagnetic forces that defy this realm its gravity — which is why the clusters that float the highest tend also to be the sources of the area’s waterfalls. 

• Full scene with some amount of depth. 

• You do not need to depict a character for this prompt, but you can include them if you like. 

• Shading preferred but not required.

• Please include a blurb including the name of the location and a brief description about its characteristics. You can include flavor text about whether any of your Edeia/characters visit and for what reason. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting an Edeia in an environment they enjoy. This can be magical or mundane, in any Age. 

• Options: for one character - fullbody or almost; for two characters - partial body (thighs/equivalent or more); three or more characters - halfbody (chest/equivalent up). 

  • You can draw more of one character to draw less of another; for instance, one fullbody + one halfbody with two characters, or one partial body + one halfbody + one bust for three characters. 

• Colored, minimal shading okay.

• Scenic background, with some depth. 

• Optional: Provide a little blurb about the situation, whether a reflection by the character, a summary of what the situation is, dialogue, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene depicting an Edeia in an environment they enjoy. This can be magical or mundane, in any Age. 

I had a dream last night. I knew it was a dream from the start - that was the first strange thing. And then... I realized everything was so vivid. So real. But it couldn't be, because I was in the past. The last day I saw them. 

I don't know if this was a blessing or a curse, because I knew I couldn't save them - not in reality, at least, for they were long gone. But... here, in the dream. Here, I had my power, and my experiences... I had the whole life I'd lived past that day, and I managed to convince them to spend a day with me instead. It was nice. It was a nice dream. 

— Val

Throughout the month, Edeia who sleep or otherwise enter a state of lower consciousness have been experiencing vivid, lucid dreams of the past - particularly, days of great importance to them personally. 

Design Prompt:
Design your Edeia's previous form. They must be "decent," i.e. wearing clothes or something if they have parts to cover. If parts do not show normally and/or they are as decent as any other of their species would be, that is fine. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork of your Edeia in the dream of their past. It can be realistic, surreal, anything in between. Your Edeia will be an "Edeia" in the dream, with the full range of their capabilities, though they can present as their humanoid/hybrid form, past form, or previous form. 

• Optional: provide a little blurb about the dream, whether a reflection by the character (as in the example with Val), a summary of what happens in the dream, etc. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia experiencing the dream of their past. In all cases, they are aware that it is a dream, and they can access their Edeia abilities in the dream. Do they do everything exactly the same? Do they try to change things? Do they find the experience a positive or cathartic one? A distressing one? You can also write about them waking up from it and/or reflecting on it, as well as moments leading up to the dream, such as hearing about other Edeia experiencing it.
