Can you give some examples of how Merlin is the embodiment of magic in fanfiction?

It means that Merlin, in the context of fanfiction, represents the very essence of magic. He is often depicted as a powerful and magical being in fan - created stories, embodying all the wonder and mystery that magic entails.

One example could be Merlin knotting the elements together. He might create a knot that combines fire and water, resulting in a unique magical effect like a steam - based shield. Another could be Merlin knotting the fates of different characters, where the knots represent the intertwined destinies in the story.

Sure. In the original stories, Merlin might have been more focused on serving Arthur. But in a noble fanfiction, he could be more independent, taking on noble causes on his own. For instance, he might be involved in helping the common people directly, rather than just through Arthur.

Sure. In 'Star Wars', the Force can be seen as a form of magic. But it's actually explained as a binding, energy field created by all living things. It gives Jedi and Sith their special powers like telekinesis and mind control. This is an example of magic - like abilities being given a semi - scientific explanation.

In 'The Witcher' series, magic is used for monster - slaying. Geralt uses signs (a form of magic) to defeat all kinds of terrifying creatures. Another example is in 'A Song of Ice and Fire', where there are rumors of magic that add an air of mystery to the story, like the red priestesses and their strange powers.

One possible fanfiction could be where Mal is preparing for a top - secret mission that requires her to blend in with an older crowd. So, she uses her magic to age herself. However, I can't really point to a specific existing fanfiction off - hand. You could try searching on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net using keywords like 'Mal magic age older' to find relevant stories.

Sure. In a Twilight fanfiction, an oc might be a new vampire in Forks. This oc could have different powers or a unique backstory compared to the existing vampires in the original story. Another example is in a Lord of the Rings fanfic, where an oc could be a hobbit from a far - off part of the Shire with a special mission. This oc then interacts with the well - known characters like Frodo and Sam, adding new plot twists.

In fanfiction, if we take the 'Twilight' series, some fans might consider 'Bella and Jacob' as their otp. Writers of such otp - centered fanfictions would write about their relationship in different ways, like what if Jacob had been more aggressive in his pursuit of Bella. In the 'Marvel' fandom, 'Stucky' (Steve and Bucky) is a popular otp, and fanfictions often explore their deep bond, from their childhood friendship to their complex relationship in the modern era of the Marvel universe.

First, research the Merlin universe thoroughly. Know the characters, their relationships, and the existing magic system. Then, come up with an interesting concept for Merlin's magic incarnate form. It could be something unique like his magic taking on a physical manifestation. Outline your story, including a clear beginning, middle, and end. Start writing, focusing on Merlin's growth and how his magic incarnate affects the plot.

One way could be through his magical abilities. For instance, if in the fanfiction he has a new spell or power that is directly related to death, like the ability to instantly end a life or transfer a soul. Another way could be his role in the story. He might be the cause of death for many characters, either intentionally or unintentionally.
