The magic carpet bush, scientifically known as Calliandra haematocephala, is a tropical perennial plant that belongs to the pea family. It is native to Central and South America and is widely cultivated for its ornamental value. The magic carpet bush is named for its unique carpet-like growth habit and its stunning flowers. The plant typically grows to a height of about 2-3 feet and spreads as a groundcover, forming a dense carpet of foliage. The leaves are fern-like and composed of small leaflets, which give the plant a delicate and graceful appearance. What makes the magic carpet bush truly remarkable is its vibrant and eye-catching flowers.
Abjuration - Gluttony
A leviathan in a puzzle. A sarg has banished itself to its own private pocket dimension between the planes, nestled so deep into a maze of magical wards and safeguards that not even the god of death can reach it. A sarg sustains itself by siphoning the souls of the dead into its waiting maw, trapping them within. Sargs are of greatest danger to souls passing into the afterlife and sometimes those travelling between planes.
Upon being slain, the Tulpa uses a combination of Gate and Wish to remove itself from a dead form into another plane where it regenerates and summons a new host. But the core differences are that certain spells require higher levels of complexity in order to cast, whilst others that require less focus can be elevated to a higher sphere through a process known as arcanus maxima , wherein additional arcane words are used and more intricate movements are made to bring the spell enhance the spells effects.
What makes the magic carpet bush truly remarkable is its vibrant and eye-catching flowers. The blooms are round, fluffy, and come in clusters at the tips of the branches. The flowers have elongated red stamens that create a striking contrast against the bright yellow or orange petals.
Magic System
Magic originates from the power of deities (also referred to as Patrons or “oracles” but are different to the class) who oversee the world from another dimension. These beings are responsible for the planet’s construction, including filling the ground with veins through which magic can flow and nourish the world’s entities. They also take the roles of Patrons to the different classes. The deities are who Oracles contact and call upon to work their magic, as well as being generally responsible for the main religions across the world.
Mages must channel their magical abilities through an enriched crystal which will have an ‘alignment’ depending on what magical vein energised it. Some classes favor certain alignments, while others can manipulate them all equally. For example, an Elementalist could use multiple crystals while a White Mage may only be able to utilise a crystal charged with light magic. While there are technically individual alignments for each patron deity, they are effectively grouped into elemental, spiritual, war and physical kinds.
Elemental (fire/water/earth etc.): - Chemist | Black Mage | Sorcerer | Arcanist | Green Mage | Elementalist | Geomancer | Spellblade
Spiritual (‘light/dark’): - White Mage | Healer | Seer | Spiritmaster | Oracle | Illusionist | Necromancer | Beastmaster | Animist | Sage
War (fighting): - Freelancer | Squire | Warrior | Knight | Sentinel | Berserker | Barbarian | Monk | Defender | Dragoon | Fencer | Thief | Ninja | Trickster | Juggler | Saboteur | Gambler | Dark Knight | Ranger | Archer | Sniper
Physical (time/space): - Scholar | Wayfarer | Merchant | Dancer | Blue Mage | Vampire | Bard | Time Mage | Astrologer | Machinist | Technicalist
An Example: ResurrectionThe process of total resurrection is not a short one. Compared to the partial resurrection able to be performed by Necromancers (reanimation), permanent and non-damaging revival requires multiple, skilled classes and a lot of patience.
If it were a recipe, the main ingredients would be; a dead person (or animal/plant), a Spiritmaster, an Oracle, a Time Mage, a Healer and food to sustain themselves for a few days. These are quite expensive ingredients, because the classes involved must be around lv. 30 (so, around 45 years old) in order to have the right abilities for the job.
The Time Mage is important - their job in the process is to reverse the effects of decomposition and keep them there during the resurrection so the revived being isn’t brain-dead and rotting from the inside out. This isn’t easy. Time Mages themselves are pretty rare, let alone ones with the knowledge and practice to be able to hold someone in what is essentially a different reality.
When the corpse has been dialed back to optimum freshness, the Spiritmaster must locate their soul within the magical plane and invite them back to their body. Sometimes the being is resistant and simply doesn’t want to be revived, and the Spiritmaster cannot change this desire. If it agrees, they must then ‘stitch’ their soul back into their body, which is difficult, to say the least.
Finally, the Oracle must contact both their own Patron and the Patron of the deceased. It’s comparable to ringing up a governmental office with lots of “please hold” and “let me transfer you to someone else” happening. It’s not uncommon for them to also consult with a lot of miscellaneous Patrons in the process to make sure it’s cool to bring the dead back to life permanently. As such, it can take days for everyone involved to come to a decision.
If all is well, the Oracle then channels the Patrons’ wills through their body (very exhausting) and the corpse is returned to its state before death. The Healer must act quickly to solve any injuries or sickness that caused death in the first place, or the revived being will die again and their time would have been wasted.
This process is long and tiring, so it didn’t take long for people to start monetising it. Resurrection stations are present around the world and each charges a hefty fee that ensures that the mages involved are considerably well-off. Most people simply can’t afford it so a good portion of the dead are left that way.
The study of time and fate, specifically for the purposes of its manipulation, often crossing over in the Transmutation school of magic. Dunamis is "the primal magical energy of potentiality and actuality, an anticipatory arcane force that helps shape the multiverse and might very well be what holds its elements together, like an infinite web of unseen tethers. Dunamancers are able to twist fate and project potential destinies into a reality or shift the unseen force of gravity to their will, such as the warriors of the Orders Vaults.
This combination of colors adds a touch of magic to any garden or landscape. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the magic carpet bush is also valued for its ease of cultivation. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. It can be grown as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or in containers, making it a versatile choice for any garden. The magic carpet bush's ability to attract butterflies and hummingbirds further enhances its desirability as an ornamental plant. The nectar-rich flowers serve as a food source for these pollinators, adding life and movement to the garden. Overall, the magic carpet bush is a visually stunning and easy-to-grow plant that can bring a touch of magic and enchantment to any landscape. Its unique growth habit, beautiful flowers, and ability to attract pollinators make it a popular choice among gardeners and plant enthusiasts..
Reviews for "Unlocking the Potential of the Magic Carpet Bush in Landscaping"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to plant the magic carpet bush in my garden, but I was left disappointed. The plant didn't grow as lush and vibrant as the pictures showed. The colors were dull and the leaves seemed lackluster. I followed all the planting instructions, so I'm not sure what went wrong. It also didn't attract any butterflies or birds like it was advertised to do. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the magic carpet bush based on my experience.
- John - 1 star - I have to say, the magic carpet bush was a complete waste of my money. The plant arrived in poor condition, with brown and drooping leaves. I tried to nurse it back to health, but it eventually died within weeks. I reached out to customer service for a refund, but they were unhelpful and unresponsive. This has been a frustrating experience and I will not be purchasing from this company again.
- Lisa - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the magic carpet bush, but it just didn't live up to expectations. The bush grew at a much slower rate than advertised, and it never developed the vibrant colors that were promised. The flowers were sparse and small, and the overall appearance was underwhelming. I would recommend looking for an alternative plant if you're looking to add some color and vibrancy to your garden.
