Alright, now that we know a bit more about what modular writing is, let’s try to do something in practice. In this case, I’ll use the game’s engine (haha, not like I have any ulterior motives by doing this, hint hint) as a way of verifying what we’re doing in practice. Meaning that this will be more of a practical lesson in modular writing rather than an article.
Alright, so here’s something we’ve not done in a bit. I’ll try to write a tutorial on something. This will be a three-part tutorial; the first part will go over the basics of modular writing and the specific context the next two parts will follow.
Mages cling together for mutual protection and support. But yet, there are those who find themselves outside of the pack. Those born from affairs with the non-magical folk, or who live in those parts of the world where, even in the modern times, mages lack a strong presence. Those who are often consigned to unavoidable death through their isolation.
Mages are still people, and people like to make themselves feel special. Here are two excerpts from a book describing the various “rituals” mages participate in, since childhood. These rituals have no major arcane meaning and exist only to celebrate the mage, the mage’s family, or some particularly important dates through the year.
