So, there was a thread on /x/, and somebody posted this. It's supposed to be a sigil that generates "thin places" where the walls between universes are permeable.
And one anon posted this:
>Also, you can easily increase the power of any such sigil or diagram with the "electric" method. Using enameled magnet wire, wind a coil in the shape of the sigil. (For instance, this would be a pentagram coil wound between five nails or something, inside a circular coil, inside a triangular coil.) Make sure there are no shorts.
>Pump AC electrical power through each coil using a signal generator. Tune the frequency until you achieve the best resonance; you'll feel it when it occurs. Concentrate on the sigil as you tune it. Focus. Meditate.
>Once you have the sigil properly tuned and charged with intent, you can increase its power simply by upping the wattage
Is it just me, or would this be a really neat idea for a setting? Electrical magic, magic sigils and diagrams, alternate universe travel?
I really want a "modern magic" feel for my next setting, and I'm stealing the hell out of this. Anyone else have ideas for modern magic systems or magic items?
