Prince Phillipās horse, who takes a liking to Aurora.
Main Plot:
The setting is in a completely different fantasy England. The rebellion grows in the woods, in underground tunnels accessed by secret doors in the trunks of trees, while Prince Phillip lives in the cold castle at the Heart, which is the main part of the kingdom. It used be a beautiful and warm place but the land thrives on happiness, and it was all taken away when the king, Stefan, was murdered, and Prince Phillip took over in a tyrannical rule.
The rebellion is led by Aurora or Briar Rose, which is the name she will go by later in the story as it was given to her to hide her identity by the Three Good Fairies and her mother.Ā
Maleficent is the sorceress of the Prince and she made her daughter, Princess Hestia, marry him, in order to be in a higher rank. She thinks Hestia is loyal, but in reality, she is a spy for the rebellion as she thinks the ways of Phillip are wrong.
Iād tell you more about King Hubert, but that would give spoilers and heās a pretty important character in the story.
These are all very good questions at the end! I want to know all the answers!
You have a nice mix of characters and plot going in this presentation, well done on the balance. Iām a sucker for sophistication that hides darker themes, so this sounds wonderfully entertaining to me already!
i jumped on the bandwagon @incandescent-creativity popularized and made the comic sans powerpoint for my WIP Spellsong soā¦ā¦ there it isĀ
Oooooh, what a neat title! And I love the phrase āsetting fire to a wet ropeā lol. Best of luck on your writing journey!
Whatās the connection between Jinx and Piper like? How does twin magic work? Could Piper use it without Jinx around or is it just one way?
Jinx and Piper are each otherās best friend!! (I probably should have put that in the slidesā¦. oops.)
As for the magicā¦ the title is in reference to the magic system. Every person capable of using magic has a specific melody that they sing in order to focus and wield spells. Each song is completely unique to that person except for twins, whose Spellsong is the same. Because of this, theyāre capable of casting magic togetherāwhich leads to doubly powerful spells. As such, Twins are capable of casting not only very strong spells, but spells a normal witch would never be able to cast.
Piper canāt use twin magic (or, as I refer to it in-universe in gratuitous latin, Duomagicae) without Jinx, but she can use her regular magic without her. Jinx however, canāt, and thatās why she feels pretty bad about it. As much as she loves her sister, she also places the bulk of her self-worth on her connection with Piper.Ā
Hereās me actually explaining my WiP instead of yelling about it and swearing like a sailor : )

Main Plot:
Linda White works for the American Magical Criminals Agency (AMCA). The only reason they even decided to hire her was because her father was one of the founder. The men at work are sexist and never let her solve an actual case. So when they get a case about The Little Ones again, they give it to her, because they think that sheād never be able to solve it and would leave them alone.
Joseph Charming knows that White is very skilled because Linda actually was on a case once and she did amazing. So he thinks that sheāll be given actual recognition. The thing about the case from before is that no one remembers it and even if they do, they think that Charming was the hero and White only slowed him down.
Queenie Martinelli has a grudge against White because she once put her husband in prison where he died. She agrees to help Charming bring her down. Sheās a witch and does everything she can to mess up Whiteās case. Andy Benson knows about this and tries to warn her.
WHEEEE! I actually did something!
