Ideas for coasters:
I read someone say magical cirkles, but I don’t know if anybody said just glyphs yet, I would imagine these glyph-coasters to either be a solid coaster with the glyph printed on it, or to be yust the glyph, like, my uncle has coasters of stick figures thate are just 2d rubber ‘cutouts’ of the stickfigures, il post a picture if i can find one. These could be in various different colours.
another idea would be a large platter, with a magical circle design, wherein the sub circles would be the size of coasters, and drawn on the coasters, i imagine the platter would have inlays in the places where the subcircle-coasters would sit, so that they won’t be moving about all the time. The fun thing with this is that because of the way magical ‘circles’ work, the platter, and coaster could be all kinds of shapes and sizes, thay could be uniform, eg a pentagonal platter and pentagonal coasters, or the could differ, eg a octagonal platter with some coasters being hexagonal, some being square, and some triangular.
if you are buying on demand instead of in bulk, then it could be an idea to design a ful set of, (i can’t really find the English words that fully translate what i’m trying to bring across, so I’ll explain it instead, with some examples. You see, in dutch we have this activity called borrelen, which means to get together, usally before dinner, either on a special occasion, when friends or familly are over, or to make an ordinary, or worse, day a bit better, and have something to drink, like wine, beer, other alchohol, or soda, with some snacks, like crisps, ‘‘borrel’’-nuts (which are peanuts enchased in a hard shell (kinda like M%M’s) but with instead of chocholate, a salty, kinda bbq tasting shell, and cheese on toast. ) borrelware, consisting of some snackbowls of different sizes (2 large, 3 or 4 medium, and 7 or so small, descending in size starting from the diameter of a teacup, going all the way down to the size of the circle you van create by touching your thumb to your pinky finger), a plate for cheeses (like ‘brie’, ‘fleur rouge’, ‘blauwschimmelkaas’, or ‘camembert’), a cheese knife or three, coasters as mentioned before, and maybe glasses, though most people do have those at home. Though something like glasses with a little bit of a thicker bottom, to house some lights that can shine up through their contents. maybe even wirelessly charged by the coasters (which would then need (replacable) batteries) to make them only light up when on the magical circle that is the coaster. And last but not least a platter (possibly a pentagon, because the first word in the description of 5-cornered shapes’s meaning in magic is Man) with magic lines and text to form a magical spell that imbues the drinks and foodstufs in the sub-circles with joy, and a feeling of prosperity, which light up when a couple of the sub-circles are filled.
Ideas for mugs:
mugs with multiple quotes, or a single quote repeated in the form of a raven, or siobhan, or the shadow-familiar, or multiple.
a set of coffee (and tea) plates and mugs/cups with the mugs having magical circles meant to prolong the effects of magic cast on its contents, and the plates either aving a magical circle for imbueing something with a spell of wakefullnes and/or energeticness or drowsines, or flu-begone, etc.
it would be quite cool if these magic circles also get activated (lit up) by placing the mug on the plate.
