random magicks npcs thoughts / head canons i have floating in my head
i like the idea that James was friends with Lonely before james was evicted. Lonely's trial of being completely isolated was a result of this, and the isolation trial would also serve as a means of preventing Lonely from forming friendships with goobert and the future ruby mage. Magnificus isn't lying when he says he does this to "unlock the full potential of the mind," but he is still very much doing it because No Fun Allowed
Magnificus' enmity towards James was passed on to Amber when she was introduced to the game. I think students of Magnificus practice normal studies before facing their "finals," but Amber promptly vivisected before he could even gauge her personality due to his disgust and paranoia with the previous ruby mage
the students are drawn towards different types of art; Goobert paints to take after his master, James and Lonely enjoy dance, Amber is more of a writer/poet, since thinking about words was the most she could do without a body
I like to imagine that P03 is a huge fan of AM from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream because he also wants to wipe out all life, but it isn’t powerful enough to do so, so he just fantasizes about doing that to the other scrybes
I love that Inscryption is a game full of secrets, with multiple ARGs, and the last (probably) secret isn't about the plot and all the implications of the evils we learn about in the game and through the other ARGs. It's just about a fucked up little guy who doesn't really matter to anything.
Since there’s an ARG for finding Amber’s name, could there also be one for the woodsmen? Or The Lonely Wizard? Or P03’s workers? (Ik they’re robots and he wouldn’t bother naming them but it has a name so why can’t they)
People on the internet treat autism like it's some cute, childish thing, but like, autism and the trauma that comes with it have literally lead me to severe alcoholism, anger issues and a criminal record.
This post goes out to autistic addicts and autistic people who have personality disorders and autistic people who have hurt people during meltdowns and autistic people who have been in trouble with the law and autistic people who have been diagnosed with every mental illness under the sun only to find out it was autism all along.
You are loved. Your trauma and your reactions to it do not make you a bad person.

Some thoughts for druid villains
So, dailyadventureprompts was asked recently about druid villains who aren’t just environmental extremists, and apparently I just have lots of thoughts on druids in general (which is odd, as they’re not really my favourite class, but apparently I really like the lore/themes behind them more than I want to play them), so I started musing about villainous druids.
I’ve had thoughts in this direction before, see Ylin Dos, my horrendous dustbowl extortionist of a druid, who likes to foul wells and blight crops and drop isolated villages into dire straits before showing up all innocent with goodberry and create/destroy water and purify food and drink and mold earth and asking how much would they pay for him to stay a while and help them through this hard time. Because I like the Pied Piper fairytale and the character of the snake-oil salesman in westerns and depression-era stories.
And I’ve had other thoughts in my urban druid musings above, about spymaster druids in cities, and slumlords/beggar lords/gang leader druids, who again leverage things like wildshape into urban animals and speak with animals to gather information in a city setting, as well as goodberry, again, to gain loyalty among the hungry of the city and either persuade or extort them into working for them. If you’re playing a city campaign or have a hub city, you could definitely turn that into a local villain, a slumlord who takes advantage of hungry urchins to be his eyes and ears, along with the rats and the starlings who watch from every gutter and eave. You could make a boogeyman doing that. The rats are watching! The rats are always watching. The Butcher Bird knows what you’re doing, sir. You’ve got to be careful, you know. He’ll get you. He knows where you sleep. But if you do what he says, if you bring him stuff, and don’t get in his way, sometimes he’ll make a berry in his hand, and he’ll let you have it, and it’ll feed you for a whole day.
And there’s a couple of historical characters/legends that could provide inspiration either. I was thinking about La Voisin, the famous 17th century French witch-slash-fortune teller who sold poisons and aphrodisiacs to the Parisian aristocracy. Possibly this is more of a herbalist than a druid, but I do feel like there’s potential there for an almost Rasputinian figure? The filthy hedge witch of a druid who, in flagrant defiance of her uncouth and distinctly uncharismatic manners, somehow has the ears (and wallets) of a court. Why? Because with the aid of a little plant growth and dedication, her poison garden in its little walled courtyard behind her townhouse blooms so beautifully.
And then, while I was thinking about French history and druids, I thought about the 18th century Beast of Gévaudan. Which was, in all likelihood, a pair or possibly pack of wolves who just developed a taste for human flesh, but was, unsurprisingly, the inspiration for a lot of theories about werewolves and also serial killers. And. If we’re thinking about werewolves and druids, obviously the place to go is moon druids. A circle. A circle of moon druids. Who believe in power and predation, and hunting the most dangerous game. So. Lets tie serial killers and werewolves and cannibals and cults in a bow, and say that the initiation ceremony for this particular moon druid circle, upon reaching second level and gaining wild shape, is to take the form of an animal and, while in that shape, murder someone and bring back some piece of their carcass to the circle as proof. And lets say they’ve been going for a while. So you have this … aura of fear around an area that’s been developing for years or maybe decades or centuries. An area that’s known for horrific animal attacks. Perhaps, like Gévaudan, people have been sent to try and figure out what’s happening here, to stop it, perhaps even royal agents, but the circle is smarter than that, established, and their bloody reign over the area continues unabated. Until, perhaps, the party.
And then. While I was thinking about werewolves and reigns of terror. I was looking at other signature elements of the druid class, and in particular one signature spell. Which is, of course, moonbeam. Because if you’re looking for horror in the druid spell list, ‘ghostly flames that cause searing pain’ does sort of fit the bill, just a little. And the thing I’ve always loved about moonbeam is this little extra effect: “A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can’t assume a different form until it leaves the spell’s light.”
Moonbeam targets shapeshifters specifically. It’s the spell for druid-on-druid violence. It’s also a great spell for werewolf hunters, and changeling hunters, and supernatural hunters in general. And if we’re setting a scene were moon druid shapeshifters terrorise a population, a close, claustrophobic, paranoid environment … then maybe we could also get our witchfinder general on. So. Let’s make a druid inquisition. Or at least a druid hunter organisation. A druid order or circle dedicated, perhaps fanatically so, to hunting other druids (though there’s room for ancients paladins to also be knocking around with this one). Think about Moonbeam as a witch trial. Questioning under the torture of ghostly flame. Beasts set alight to test if they are shapeshifters in disguise. People set alight to see if they are changelings in disguise. (While we’re talking about witch trials and the druid spell list, I might also mention heat metal as a … very evocative spell, here?)
If you wanted to have two mutually opposed villainous druid factions in a campaign, a little bit of law vs chaos on the evil end of the spectrum, and the moral dilemma of which is worse, or perhaps the need to champion a population desperately pinned between them, why not bring the Eyes of the Moon, the druid inquisition, to town to hunt down the brutal cannibalistic circle of serial killers who have terrorised the province for a decade?
The druid spell list, to be fair to it, is quite metal in places. And if you want to do folk horror, druids are a class of villains that gives you options. Heh.
I do like a villainous druid. And an urban druid. And just the worldbuilding inherent in the druid’s spell list and abilities. They are a fabulous class for lore and themes.
A while ago you brought up the students leaving mags for the other scrybes, I’d love to see/hear more about that, like why you think each student fits their respective new home, etc.
yea! i think goobert would enjoy becoming loyal to Grimora since she's a lot more openly affectionate towards her subordinates and would be able to give him the attention he craves. Since Magnificus is already on good terms with Grimora, I imagine he'd already have a positive association towards her and wouldn't find it difficult to be around her. I imagine she'd give him permission to paint on her crypt walls. If all goes well, maybe help him reconstruct a body for himself..?
Lonely Wizard already has an association with P03 because of act 3, if this situation is happening post-act-3, then its easy to imagine them just "imprinting" on P03 and sticking around. It's a busy noisy messy factory so its very stimulating, and I like the imagery of them lurking in the vents. But I think Lonely could have a good time on any island besides Mag's, I think realistically they'd be travelling around to find new experiences
In my head, Amber is the most developed because she's my fav lol.. I like the idea of her body being rebuilt to resemble a sphynx and just lurking around Leshy's woods. Unlike the other students she doesn't seek to form a relationship with the resident scrybe; it's more or less a journey of introspection and being allowed to form an identity with no rules or masters, since I believe her head was cut off very early in the beginning of her existence. I also headcanon her as an elf so she might just be drawn to nature, lol
heres another lil sketch of her i have
А, моя первая попытка сделать "ремикс" одного из моих любимых саундтреков из игр. / Ah, my first attempt to make a "remix" of one of my favorite game soundtracks.
Various sample images from Inscryption, 1986 for Commodore 64 and Apple II microcomputers. This is very real and not just a re-imagining of Inscryption Act 2. I recommend listening to the soundtrack of Act 2 while viewing these
In the finale the shot of the town shows they live in Aberdale from Clarence, which takes place in Arizona.
mfw when robots
I never know what to put in these descriptions. Anyways, Inscryption song
HEY SO THE INSCRYPTION PLAYSTATION ARG…here’s all the info on that!
PIKE MAGE NAME UPDATE
and
had a ytpmv idea (reason for the bad quality is because discord sucks so i turned the quality in vegas way down)
I always interpreted Lonely as being charcoal but maybe Pike is given that said pike is burned to coals around the fire
OOOOO I HAD AN IDEA I’m wanna base the three mages of of different art mediums
Of course goobert is paint
Lonely made is ink (his tail is a quill!)
But pike wizard???
I have been Inscribed
just so you know, you have some followers who enjoy/write fanfiction. not saying their urls rn bc i don’t wanna air out dirty laundry in public but if you want them so you can block and report, just say the word and i’ll dm you a list
"go fish..."
some PS1-style fanart I did back in 2021 for Inscryption! great game, go check it out
Casual reminder that The Lonely Wizard is around twice the height of Magnificus. Given that Magnificus is not the shortest Scrybe (I assume he’s around 6 ft), The Lonely Wizard has to be anywhere between 10-12 feet tall
