I made this a couple months ago, a demonstration on how Silke’s spells work by concepting her Spirit Guardians spell.
She has only seen parts of her god through clipped visions and dreams, along with recovered murals, tapestries and other relics. So most of her spells are inspired by what she tries to piece together about them.
So far her spells are mostly focused on eyes, teeth and hands but she’s been gradually starting to form some silhouettes the more she learns.

clearing out my drafts… kids just say the darndest things
ok now some fluff so i can sleep at night
Hizashi: why are there so many scratches on your back?
Shouta: *flashbacks to last night when he cornered a stray cat after Hizashi told him not to*
Shouta: I'm cheating on you.
Hizashi: *flashbacks to watching Shouta go outside to try (and fail) to catch the cat*
Hizashi: no you're not.
Lull’d by the moonlight have all passed away, Beautiful dreamer,
what a lovely duet!
For those who thought Luz should have held onto the power after she defeated Belos, let me offer a passage from The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchet, as young witch Tiffany Aching faces down the Queen of the Elves in a confilict similar to Luz's:
"The secret is not to dream," she whispered. "The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and where I'm going. You cannot fool me anymore. Or touch me. Or anything that is mine." I'll never be like this again, she thought, as she saw the terror in the Queen's face. I'll never again feel as tall as the sky and as old as the hills and as strong as the sea. I've been given something for a while, and the price of it is that I have to give it back.
And the reward is giving it back, too. No human could live like this.
... One of the biggest differences between Luz and Belos is that she took only what was offered, and returned it to its rightful owner when she no longer needed it.
Our boomer trait is gonna be that we cannot recognise deep fakes or AI, I'm calling it. We're going to be like "wow did you see this???" And our grandkids are going to look at the 12 second hologram we show them, shrug and be like: "blinks are too regular."
Another commission I got to work on for @lapzoli!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ♡
There’s absolutely NO mistaking the Batfamily as anything but a bunch of chaotic siblings. Nightwing and Red Hood don’t even plan these things, they just sense whenever it’s the right moment to ruin Batman’s Very Serious Mission Briefing.
