Electric Scooter Font
Why the name ‘Electric Scooter?’ Because if they called it ‘Gematrix’ or ‘Philosopher’s Stony’ or ‘Enochian Bold’ or something else like that then Every. Single. Occultist. Wannabe in the world would be using the damned font and making it difficult for actual sorcerers to work. Anybody who can derive benefit from the Electric Scooter font will have been told about the code name already; anybody who hasn’t, doesn’t need to know about it anyway.
In case it wasn’t obvious, the idea here is to have a font that can be used to accurately transcribe and transmit spellcasting in a form that is digitally friendly. The magical language used by sorcerers can be phonetically described using 152 phoneme-equivalents (by comparison, English has 44); it is thus a relatively trivial exercise to use any standard typeface to ‘mechanically’ transcribe spells. However, while phonetic transliterations of spells are useful, they don’t actually have any magical potency.
Unless they’re transcribed in Electric Scooter. The individual fonts are designed to hold a magical charge, which means an active spell can be transmitted via, say, a compressed file and then extracted with no loss of potency. For that matter; if someone with magical abilities sees a spell written out in Electric Scooter, he or she can activate it — even if the spell is not otherwise known to the caster — by imbuing it with personal magical energy.
So, Electric Scooter is useful. And not to be discussed with outsiders. Seriously. This is one of the rules of magic that really isn’t just a heavy hint. Aside from everything else, non-magical people who use Electric Scooter are effectively creating random magic spells. 99.99999999% of the time, that doesn’t matter; the ‘spell’ won’t function, no matter how much magic is pumped into it. But there’s always that .000000001% chance that it will. Ever see a wild magic spell cook off?
Trust me: it’s not a fun time.
