On most worlds, sudogs are capable of learning and utilizing elemental magics- either as tools for their every day lives... or as weapons to be used against their enemies.
The way that every individual discovers their elemental magic and what they use that magic for varies. Some sudogs discover their elemental powers and use them to help with their work; some may utilize them for show, while others may wield them as weapons to be used in battle.
The magic affinity trials follow your sudog as they discover their elemental abilities and either hone them into a powerful magic, or simply adapt to living with them!
For this activity you will complete the prompt for each trial when your sudog reaches the appropriate rank and either draw or write about your sudog following the provided prompt.
When you have completed the prompt for your sudog's rank, you may turn it in with the activity submission form!
Once submitted, you can check the status of your submissions here!

Requirements: For drawn artwork: You must complete one scene for each prompt that features your sudog in a setting that reflects the area their imports are set in. The scenes must clearly follow the prompt that corresponds with the trial that is appropriate for your sudog's rank. You sudog must be at least 75% visible in each image. Additional characters are welcome, but not required (unless the prompt calls for additional characters to be featured). Additional characters must be at least 50% visible in images they appear in. Backgrounds are required for each image and must include at least three elements of scenery in order to count (for example, clouds, trees, and rocks all count as elements of scenery). Backgrounds must be hand drawn and may not be re-used from or shared with other images. Your images must have apparent shading on the characters and in the scenery.
For written entries: You must compose one story for each prompt that features your sudog in a setting that reflects the area their imports are set in. The stories must clearly follow the prompt you have chosen. Your stories must be written in a story format and include descriptions of the actions being performed by the character/s in the story and details about the setting the characters are in (what can the characters see and hear, what does it smell like, is it cold or warm, are there things in the environment the characters can interact with, etc.). Stories must be written in english and have a minimum word count of 1500 words. Re-used paragraphs and filler text that doesn’t contribute to the story (for example, using “and, and, and…” to start a new scene in the story) will not count. |
