It has been recorded that while Whifflings themselves cannot harness Magic relating to their Scent Focuses as Paralogos can with their Word Focuses, that Whiffling Pets can manifest an ability instead that seems to mirror one of the first three tiers of Paralogos Magic. Both Whifflings and Caretakers have taken a vibrant interest in this phenomenon, with some Paralogos curious as well. It has been observed the Red Rose Whiffling known as Vardan has taken a special interest in this...
This means that a Whiffling Pet may have a minor magical ability they can aid their bonded Whiffling -or the Whiffling’s Caretaker- with, relating to the scent the Whiffling has taken on as their focus.
This Annex provides 2 sources of information:
1) A resource for a "prediction" of what a Pet's magical ability might present as.
2) A record for how a Whiffling's Pet acquires their magical ability and an official noting down of that fact.
It has been observed that Pets can acquire a magical ability of one (1) of the three existing types:
Possesses an attribute or minor effect loosely associated with their Whiffling's scent.
The Pet can spot and/or find their Scent Focus easily and is very good at using/cooperating/communicating with "it".
Can repair/heal/fix their Whiffling's scent focus.
Pets have only been observed manifesting one (1) of these three types of abilities, and do not manifest what one would call Tiers 4, 5, or 6 Magic in Paralogos.
In the same way as Paralogos, Whifflings have only been seen to manifest at most two (2) distinct Pet companions at any given time.
These Pets can have the same Types of Magic, or two differing ones, although two pets having the exact same ability has not yet been observed.
This means that one Whiffling cannot have enough Pets to manifest all three types of Magic.
- Decide on the exact magic ability you wish to give your Whiffling's Pet.
- If you are unsure what options you have, you can submit to the Magic Questions prompt to find out whether a certain ability would work or to ask for suggestions.
- Draw [a fullbody of the Pet with at least a half body of the Whiffling owner with a detailed background] or write [at least 800 words] about your Whiffling and its Pet performing the type of magic desired.
- Your finished artwork/writing has to be submitted to the Whiffling Pet Magic gallery.
- This step can be skipped if you use a Magical Petnip Satchel (instructions on how-to are below).
- Submit your gallery submission to the Whiffling Pet Magic Acquisition prompt and fill out the following form in the "comment" section:
Type: (1-3)
What was learned?: (short description of the new ability) - Your submission will then be checked & approved by an admin, and the Pet's masterlist entry will be updated to reflect the newly acquired ability.
Please note that, unless you use Magical Petnip, your submission will only be approved if you've submitted to both the gallery and the prompt.
