Early concept for a my original species (moar like typical shambling hybrid, right guise), the Dryth.
This was back when I wasn't sure what they were gonna be, but, for all intents and purposes, yes, they're magical! This one has just went through something of a rite of passage for warriors. They don't always glow like that. d:
sweet! :D Im curious: are there rites of passage for other occupations, if applicable? it'd be really interesting to see the magical rite of passage for, IDK, a tailor
Rite of passage may not be the right word. That's only something high-class warriors do. It, among other things, secures their telomeres and makes them able to manifest energy. That's how they are able to get their magic powers. d:
I got a bunch of this stuff scribbled down that I gotta write up and solidify sometime.
