Markkielty, to books

So I've finally finished the #Spellslinger series ending with Sebastien De Castell's #CrownBreaker.

It's one of those series I'm really sad to finish but really happy to have read (or listened to). It's definitely a #series. I will revisit. Loved the #characters, the #magical systems and #worldbuilding. Must #read for #fantasy #readers.

Also, Joe Jameson did an excellent job narrating these books.

It's alive!🎉

I've built a in , compiled it to and integrated it into a app! :awesome:

It's called selecuery.✨

It can transpile X++ select statements into query expressions. If you think "X++" is a typo and you don't have any idea of what I'm talking about, don't worry.😄

Have a look at the video below.

This project is dear to my heart! ❤️ I've started it 2019 for learning .

I think, I've been transpiled during this project as well.🤪

A video showing a web app with two code editors side-by-side. On the left, source code is entered, which looks like an SQL dialect. As the code is entered on the left, the code editor on the right updates in real-time. The right editor shows the SQL-like statement in a very different form, namely as a sequence of method calls on a query object. So it has just transpiled a declarative SQL-like statement into a procedural query expression. You can think of it a bit like C#'s LINQ: LINQ also has a declarative form and a procedural form.

Karliner's Corollary

Any sufficiently effective form of magic is indistinguishable from technology.

The mysterious mages of the Steineberg Lay took care never to drink other people's milk - nor did they allow others access to their own milk.

3. What is the criminal justice system like in your world?
It depends a great deal on your ability to do magic. No magical ability? Then it's pretty much the same system as we have. The very slightest trace of magic in you?
Well, let's just say there's a facility for them, and that's something Siona Stewart is trying to find out more about for her clients.

Obsessed with watching my ginkgo tree come into leaf this year. People who don’t believe in magic just aren’t looking close enough. Nature is magic.

Most surviving Welsh legends are heroic adventures rather than mythological origins of things. The few exceptions all involve the wizard Gwydion. He stole the first pigs, turned a woman into the first owl, and a sea god named like his nephew Dylan created the first gulls.

My new painting "The #GreenMan Brings Spring to Chapel #Meadow" shows the ancient woodland spirit joyously heralding the season of hope and life.

The #arrivalofspring is a kind of #magic, isn't it?

The meadow is now threatened with annihilation from a housing development. So I thought I'd better paint the meadow before it's lost forever.

I hope you feel the meadow's magic too.

"Where are you going?"

"Home."

"You can't do that. You're considered dangerous to yourself and others."

"I am literally the only one here who isn't dangerous to anyone else."

"You're a Void Mage. It's very rare and special. You should consider yourself gifted."

"Define 'gifted.' Not even healing magic works on me. Any spell I cast is going to be sucked straight back at me and that I WILL feel."

"Voidless spells won't, but you must be taught to properly cast them so they don't explode. It will take much research-"

"Or, I could NOT learn how to cast them, or any other, go home where I had a normal life with normal city resources, get a normal education, and become a programmer."

"Well that would just be a waste."

"Apparently like this conversation. Ta!"

"You can't do that!"

"Try whatever spell you like to stop me."

I was initially skeptical of this story, but it proved to be real! At some point (around 18 - early 19 century) in #Ukraine, artists painted #Orthodox #icons on... dried #fish !

How come? TLDR: these icons were used a sort of a very special professional #protective #charm by a particular type of traveling #merchants. For a bit more details (and illustrations), see the thread below 👇
