What d'you mean by that? I mean like most types of conmagic are "natural" - explicitly or implicitly - in the world they're in, as in it's part of it.zelos wrote:I have magic simply be another natural force.

Re: New
IPA? Haha i have no idea what that is :) I suggest you learn a bit about it. While it's intimidating to learn at first, it's actually not too hard (at least to learn the IPA for your native tongue(s)). It's a standard used by most if not all of the conlangers here and on other conlanging forums - o...

Re: My Conlangs Phono-stuff
My thoughts: The phonology is remarkably similar to English's phonology, that's what I think decemarietis meant by the sarcastic inventive. Although veteran conlangers will associate this with nooblanging, whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you and whether that's your intention - there's ...

Metaphysics / Cosmology / Theology / Eschatology of Arteran
This thread is an attempt at describing the metaphysics/cosmology/theology/eschatology of my conworld, Arteran. I’ll be doing this in a series of posts, going through different aspects of Arteran’s metaphysics/cosmology/theology/eschatology. I originally planned this to be just one post, but nobody ...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I learned to not give a damn. [+1] [+1] Same here. Realizing that I'd never be uber-awesome at conlanging, and also that conlanging isn't my main focus (conworlding and conhistory is and even those are technically not even my *main* main focus, creative writing), I figured it would be a waste of my...

Re: Ways of having Subtle Con-magic
After thinking about this for quite some time, I've thought of a few concepts for my conworld using the existing ideas I had. I'll just list the ones most relevant to this thread (as the others would deal with metaphysics and cosmology and all that, and I'll save that for another thread). So basical...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
Something I've been working on - Athlian. So far I have the phonologies for Proto-Athlian and its descendent Classical Athlian (later I'll whip up Classical Athlian's descendant, Modern Standard Athlian). The main inspiration is Arabic, but there's a good hint of Persian particularly with Proto-Athl...
