Experimenting with animatronics for this next project & Arcane Ugly Update 6 (Patreon)

After a big old rest, I'm back to my usual busy self! I've bought some cheap mechanical kits to make some animated art projects. I'm really excited about this and can't wait to share what I learn.  I've also been experimenting with some new clay techniques using color which I'm hoping will make for an interesting finish on some props for my videos. I've also been experimenting on how to make fake plants look real using spray adhesive, talcum powder and fire. 

In this Arcane Ugly Update, I've started to introduce magic again, this time round with the new spell format.
Here's what's new:
Spells can have multiple variants - which I've included because multiple copies of the same spell book exist in the world, but this way they can each be a bit different. Spell books can be expanded through miscasts, you can learn new spells through failure or meddling with magic.
Miscast Tables - The example in this first spell isn't fully done, but this shows how one spell could use multiple miscast tables depending on player choices or each spell could use different rules for how the miscast tables work. In this case the player chooses whether they try to harness out-of-control magic during a miscast or try to defend themselves from magical mishap. The first has greater risk but greater reward, while the other is much safer.

I think its an interesting layer to magic because two players can roleplay how they'd use a spell in totally different ways and get entirely different results because of it.
