This was meant to go up Saturday, but life happens and it did not get posted. Whoops.
Bonnie Bennett and Max TrevelyanDAY ONE PRESENTERS
Richie Tozier, Tally Craven, Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian, Sabrina Spellman, Essek, Briar MossDAY TWO PRESENTERS
Bonnie Bennett, Noctis Lucis Caelum, Caleb Widogast, Lan Wangji, Lan Sizhui, Elsa, Atreus, Rosalind Walker
The event is an open format, with participants using their time as they see fit. With a total of fifteen Outlanders volunteering over two days, each Outlander will have up to an hour to spend as they see fit. They could provide demonstrations, and lessons, ask for participation or have as many people involved as they see it. The format is open to allow the volunteers to arrange their time in a way that works best for them and their magic.
The event is family-friendly, with many opportunities to engage with presenters in fun and informative ways. Get involved, or sit back, watch, and enjoy. Many of them are happy to answer as many questions as they can regarding their abilities. Though please remember that for some, there may be aspects of their abilities that are highly protected, so you might not get all the details you want.
Richie Tozier
Originally meant to be Richie Tozier and Rasalas Black working as a tag team, Richie will discuss Rasalas' approach and process to potions, before focusing on his abilities. A psychic who is skilled in automatic writing as a way to reveal the future, Richie will use his abilities to answer questions for audience members.
Tally Craven
Tally's abilities are vocal-based magic, using different seed sounds (tones and pitches) through a second set of vocal cords to do spells or work. Using water she will create a water spout to demonstrate how the different seeds can impact the water and manipulate it accordingly.
Jiang Cheng
Jiang Cheng will temporarily trap an angry, but fairly weak (safety!) spirit to demonstrate how cultivators trap spirits in his world. He will demonstrate talisman making, pulling from one's own spirit for offense and defense, and the respectful treatment of spirits. As part of the demonstration, he will lead a small practical lesson with anyone who has similar enough magic to translate. The spirit will be freed in the end.
Wei Wuxian
Tagging in with Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian will re-bind the spirit. He is a natural showman, so you can expect some jokes and showing off while he works with Talismans to keep the spirit bound and controlled. He will give a brief demonstration of his soul magic, taking a small part of his soul and turn it into a paper man for spying purposes. The Paper Man will trapeze through the audience showing off and hopping from head to head.
Sabrina Spellman
By now, many people are probably aware that a version of hell from another world is located in a warded area of Vallo, keeping the souls and monsters separate from the population. Sabrina will be demonstrating her abilities as a necromancer, and the Queen of this Hell, to release deserving souls from Hell's torment to become one with the ether.
Essek Thelyss
Have you ever wanted to defy gravity and take to the sky, without the help of a plane? Now maybe your chance. Essek will be demonstrating graviturgy (gravity-based magic). Expect an entertaining show with a lot of flash and destruction (done safely). Volunteers will have the chance to levitate, attempt to pull something back to earth while Eseek is controlling it, and witness the potential destructive powers through exploding glitter bombs (that he will magically clean up after).
Briar Moss
Briar Moss demonstrates how seemingly innocent plant magic can be used as a devastating weapon. He shows how he puts together particular seed mixes according to their intended use and wraps them in colour-coded cloth with an empowered tonic which speeds a plant's growth. The balls are then tied together with silk thread. When thrown at some straw mannequins, one is tied up with vine ropes, and the other is ripped to shreds by a viciously sharp, thorny mix of roses and (inspired by Sutton Cottage) holly.
Noctis Lucis Caelum
Noctis isn't much of a public speaker, but he's good at showing off, so expect a short but very flashy demonstration of his elemancy abilities, a power linked to Lucian royalty. Noctis can extract elemental energy from deposits around the continent, collect it in magic flasks, and craft spells his allies can also use in combat. He'll end it by absorbing lightning energy from an electrical source, bottling it, and giving it to a participant to throw into a controlled environment.
Caleb Widogast
Caleb's transmutation magic is effortless and powerful, he specializes in fire when it comes to evocation but he's mastered true polymorph. Caleb will take a volunteer on stage and change them temporarily into an animal of their choice (that fits into the space). He's not an extrovert but he is very good at talking magic and theorycrafting so you can expect an engaging demonstration and .
Lan Sizhui & Lan Wangji
Inquiry is music played on the guquin that was composed by an ancestor of the Lan Clan, allowing the cultivator to summon and commune with the spirits of the dead, who will not be able to lie. Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui will summon a spirit and communicate with it through the language of qin, translating to the crowd as they go. This will double as a musical performance.
Elsa
Did you know that water holds memories? If you didn't end up venturing over to the iceberg that recently arrived in Vallo, here's your chance to get a look at the magic on a smaller scale. With the audience member's permission, Elsa will use her magic to put on a short displace of someone's chosen memory through ice sculptures.
Atreus
Atreus wields Norse magic, it's a combination of Seiðr & Jötunn magic, etched into rocks, trees, and sigils in the area and sky to create protection warding around places. His performance will be modest, though people who are familiar with the type of magic can probably tell his is actually a merging of a few different kinds and made his own.
Rosland Walker
There is absolutely nothing flashy about Roz's magic. In fact, you could sit and watch her and just assume she's zoning out. Roz's display will be heavily based on interaction with those who are watching. She's a Seer, and is capable of seeing the past, present, future, and through illusions. With volunteers, she will perform readings on objects or people and see if anyone can trick her with illusion-based magic and classic 'magic show' sleight of hand games.
While Sophie Deveraux will not be participating in the demonstrations, she has agreed to be at the event to preview her future cafe. On both days you'll be able to purchase a variety of drinks and baked goodies that will soon be available to purchase when she opens up shop.
There will be a tent set up for first responders, just in case, for all your first aid needs.
The exhibition ends no later than 5 on both days, so you shouldn't expect any interference with evening plans.
