Hello! I, like many people here, enjoy lore. That is why I have decided to make a thread. To ramble about lore! You can do it too. Lore can involve character lore (ramble about your dnd characters or OCs!) World lore (my personal favorite, ramble about your worldbuilding projects) or just… general lore, like campaign ideas. You can use this thread to talk about your characters in taverns, or lore for taverns. Go wild with what you say, but nothing NSFW and please follow the rules of DDB. Thanks!
In my world, Tarran, Magic comes from different things. It is always gross. Wizards use crystals called Tentastones to use magic, and they’re basically the crystallized sweat of a massive racist octopus. Witches use potions which come from human body parts :3, sorcerers inject Tentastones into their blood.

I love it
I told you about my alchemy-based magic system, right? It's a little similar.

I don’t think you did! What is it?
So, basically, a lot of creatures have innate magical powers. Things that aren't explained by mundane biology, but magical genetics (the code of which is composed of what are called Flesh Runes).
When you kill a magical creature, it releases its Flesh Runes into its body, which will bond to whatever living cells they touch. For a lot of creatures, especially the more powerful ones, this manifests as a poison. If prepared correctly, however, the Flesh Runes will be able to be converted into Tinctures, which were named as such because the first method of making them was dissolving monster parts in alcohol. Basically, a Tincture in this context is a food/drink/injection/epidermal patch/whatever delivery system you can imagine/pill that allows you to gain the powers of the monster.
You can only have one power at a time, and they last for a limited number of uses based on the potency of the tincture.
There's a lot of nitty-gritty details that change it a little bit in specific circumstances, but this is the basics.

If I think of anything important to share about my characters, I'll bring it here.
As it stands, Con is my hyperfixation and I'm not sure how much I've already told you guys.
