Magic hour refers to the time of day when the sun is just above the horizon, either in the early morning or late evening. During this time, the light has a magical quality that can transform ordinary scenes into something extraordinary. The lower angle of the sun creates long shadows and a warm, golden glow that adds a touch of enchantment to any setting. Photographers and filmmakers often refer to this time as the golden hour, as the soft, diffused light creates a beautiful and flattering effect on subjects. The warm tones and gentle contrast enhance the colors and textures of landscapes, architecture, and people. It's a time when nature and the urban environment seem to be bathed in a warm, ethereal light, giving them a dreamlike quality.
Users often reject social convention and the status quo, which some suggest is in a search for spiritual freedom. As a part of this, they embrace magical techniques and practices that would traditionally be viewed as taboo and are generally willing to go farther than most would even consider if it served their ends.
For many millenniums, witches and regular humans lived in harmony, but with the emergence of the religion of the Witch Hunter, humans began disrespecting witches. Wizards are extremely rare with only two known people who fit the category, one being Merlin who is an Archmage that obtained his mana source artificially and the other is Tasha, who acquired it as a result of being the reincarnation of West.
It's a time when nature and the urban environment seem to be bathed in a warm, ethereal light, giving them a dreamlike quality. But the magic of the magic hour extends beyond visuals. The atmosphere during this time of day is also unique.

Vunnora, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An educational institute that was created a long while back by a powerful witch who felt that young magic-users needed guidance, so they could better learn how to use their extraordinary gifts. Though, there is another school, which resides beside Vunnora: scholae Vaenatoris, which translates to 'school of hunters'. The two schools are rivals, and are forbidden from interacting beyond school activities.

Witches Witches are human girls born with the ability to use magic, at the age of sixteen they are chosen by the light or dark, and this magic will be their strongest. If a dark witch tries to use light, or a light tries to use dark, said spells will be far less effective.
Wizards Similar to witches in the fact that they are humans born with the ability to use magic, though they are male and can use whichever side of magic they wish. They are capable of learning to utilize both light and dark, though this is forbidden and can result in the wizards death if discovered.
The Council Eight powerful witches and wizards who make the rules for the magical community.
Hunters Hunters are humans who are trained to hunt and kill supernatural creatures. Each hunter has a specific weapon, that is gifted to them upon entering the academy.

Name: Cassidy Blake
Nickname: Cassy, Cass
Gender: Female
Age: Eight
Orientation: She's a bit too young to think about this.
Crush: .
Significant Other: Still too young.
Species: This is actually rather complicated, because both her parents were human, so she's considered a human. Though her physical appearance and affinity for the dark arts at such a young age, clearly say otherwise.
Species gifts: Despite having wings, she can't fly. Enhanced durability. The tip of her tail is sharp enough to cut steel.
Magic: Cassy's magic is dark, and while one before the age of sixteen wouldn't usually be claimed by either side, she was claimed by the dark before she was even born.
Magic type: Cassy doesn't specialize in any magic types. But she is most skilled at bending the dark elements.(dark fire/water/air/etc)
Role: Student at vunnora
Personality:
History: Cassy isn't aware of her past, in fact, very few people are aware of it. Her parents were part of a rather popular bloodline, and well, they couldn't have children, which meant the bloodline would end. This was something they just couldn't accept, so they turned to the darkest form of magic there was, a forbidden, living magic known only as nega-magic. They made a pact with the magic, agreeing to give their child to the magic if it would grant them a child. And so the deed was done. The exact details of the pact were as follows: 'at the age of sixteen your child will be given to the nega-magic as a vessel, if you try and negate the terms of this agreement, the child will meet a horrid death'. When the magic council discovered that her parents had used one of the most forbidden magics they were locked up, and cassy was put on heavy watch.

Name: Danielle Crystal Porter
Nickname(s): Danielle has a couple nicknames, one she's less fond of is 'The Cavalry', unfortunately most at vaenatoris know the story of how she gained this name. other than that, the people that know she doesn't like the first nickname call her Dani.
Gender: Female
Age: Seventeen
Orientation: Heterosexual
Crush: None, she tries to keep her feelings bottled, as most people don't see past her tech.
Significant Other: None.
Species: human of course.
Modifications: Upon first seeing Dani one might think she was wearing tech'ed out armor, upon closer examination one might notice that the tech is actually part of the girl. Her arms and legs are covered in a techno armor, to allow her the use of her limbs, this also increases her strength a bit, but lifting too much would short circuit the tech. She has a device on her head as well, that is just as much magic as it is tech, this device is meant to sync her brainwaves with the other tech bonded to her, and to stabilize her mental state. Her last modification are the two jet-like engines on her hips, she can somewhat fly with the devices, but she's still learning and always crashes, mostly while trying to land.
Weapon: Before her 'accident' Dani used a katana and an automatic rifle. After she began using an energy blade, and a sort of mega-cannon thing.
Weakness: Electricity, the smallest shock could short circuit her tech. Her past, merely mentioning the dragon she once faced triggers a state of fear where she is either unable to move, or start hallucinating and attacking random people.
Strengths: Her tech gives her an advantage over most hunters and creatures, though at the same time it doesn't because most of the other hunters at the school know merely mentioning the event can stop her in her tracks and give them an advantage.
Role: Student at Vaenatoris
Personality: Dani isn't the most open-booked person. Though the one emotion people might see often is fear, even if she doesn't seem scared, the girl seems to always have a hint of fear in her eyes, and this fear can easily be brought forth with the right button push.
History: Dani's history before Vaenatoris is one she mostly keeps to herself. But unfortunately she's sorta famous at the school for events after she joined. She and a few other students were chosen to go on a simple mission to get some info on a few rogue wizards. What they instead ran into, nobody could have expected. In the underground building was a dragon, and not just any dragon, a fully grown nightmare dragon. The more experienced hunter that went with the group didn't last long against the mighty beast, so Dani stepped in and told the others to run for it. Dani won the fight, but it wasn't without it's cost. She lost the use of her legs, and arms, and having came into direct contact with the flames of the dragon, her mind was altered, putting her into a state of constant fear. After this battle, she technically should have died. But when a girl challenges a dragon alone, especially a nightmare dragon, and wins, the people at the head of the hunters would hardly let them die. The hunters, working with a few advanced witches of dark magic, binded technology to the girl to keep her live, and attempt to restore her mental state.
Other: While she's just a student Dani is considered as good as any experienced hunter, and is often pulled out of school for assignments.

Reviews for "Embracing the Beauty: How to Decorate your Home during the Magic Hour"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to reading "Magic Hour Charmed" as I am a fan of fantasy novels, but unfortunately, it fell completely flat for me. The plot was confusing and disjointed, with no clear direction. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with them. The writing style was also quite underwhelming, with repetitive phrases and awkward dialogue. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it.
2. Mike - 1 star - I found "Magic Hour Charmed" to be incredibly boring and unengaging. The story dragged on and on with no real excitement or action. The author's descriptions were overly detailed and at times unnecessary, making it difficult to stay interested. Additionally, the characters were bland and lacked any sort of development or relatability. I struggled to finish this book and ultimately felt like my time was wasted.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was initially drawn to "Magic Hour Charmed" because of its promising premise, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The pacing of the story was extremely slow, and it took a long time for anything significant to happen. The world-building was also quite lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions. The writing style felt amateurish and disjointed, making it hard to fully immerse myself in the narrative. Overall, I found this book to be a disappointing read.
