When making an OC, it's almost tempting to grant them the ability to use Shadow Magic. If you must do so, here's what to do and what not to.
Fairies[]
Dark Fairies[]
Dark Fairies, fairies that were affected by Shadow Magic while unborn (as well as developing an immunity to it), are immune to corruption. On the contrary, the have a corrupted form, but are fully conscious of their actions. If you somehow got permission from Delta to make a Dark Fairy OC then:
DO[]
- Allow them to use Shadow Magic without showing any sign of corruption. However, you may show signs of headaches, fatigue, etc since they're in a constant battle to keep the shadow within under control.
DON'T[]
- Make them evil. They are fully conscious of their actions and aren't prone to corruption, meaning the shadow within is unable to make them do anything "bad". Making a Dark Fairy antagonist is NOT supported by Delta and they prefers if you avoid it all costs.
- Make them enter corrupted form easily. It's actually quite difficult to trigger the transformation.
- Exceptions to this is if the said character has high anxiety, trust issues, or generally any mentality that makes them feel more unsafe than the average person.
Other Fairies[]
For other fairies, they're prone to corruption just like a wizard, so....
DO[]
- Make them "evil". The shadow is in control, meaning it's host (the unfortunate fairy who was corrupted) is semi-conscious of their actions, but unable to stop themselves from doing the wrong thing.
- Have a mental struggle between the shadow and the host. Cause random moment of them showing their true personality, then immediately becoming cold-hearted as the shadow inside them.
DON'T[]
- Make them "immune" to Shadow Magic. ONLY Dark Fairies are able to avoid corruption.
- Make them nice. They have ZERO control over their actions.
- Give them Astral Spells. They are unable to use them as of being corrupted.
Wizards[]
As for wizards, they're prone to corruption.
DO[]
- Make them "evil". The shadow is in control, meaning it's host (the unfortunate wizard who was corrupted) is semi-conscious of their actions, but unable to stop themselves from doing the wrong thing.
- Have a mental struggle between the shadow and the host. Cause random moment of them showing their true personality, then immediately becoming cold-hearted as the shadow inside them.
DON'T[]
- Make them "immune" to Shadow Magic. Wizards would start experiencing corruption instantly.
- Make them nice. They have ZERO control over their actions.
- Give them Astral Spells. They are unable to use them as of being corrupted.
Other Creatures[]
Follow the Do's & Don'ts for Wizards, it's pretty much the same.
