Prompt
Draft a Magic and Unnatural Power guide for EldritchDark. Link current spellcasting jobs and magic baubles references. Avoid spell details, temporary-use tables, spell lists, and new mechanics.
Magic in the Weird Age is not tidy. It leaks through old bargains, bad luck, gifted jobs, suspicious keepsakes, and little objects that should have stayed ordinary.

issue-407-magic-section-opener: Accepted provisional production-quality section opener art for Magic while preserving future human replacement history.

Prompt
Create one production-quality provisional section-opener illustration for the EldritchDark manual section "Magic": a 1920s tenement study and back-room laboratory under rain, blackboard with illegible marks, phonograph, glassware, old books, candle smoke, and a city window. A magician or occult investigator makes a dangerous bargain with a tiny impossible light above the table; the people, props, and architecture show weird pressure on second viewing without turning into spectacle. Use Weird Age pulp noir, cheap-paper color, ink black, sickly yellow lamplight, muted teal shadows, and one restrained blood-red seal accent. Avoid readable text, labels, fireball fantasy magic, wizard robes, monster spectacle, and schematic placeholder art.

Prompt
Create a Weird Age pulp-noir magic and unnatural power vignette centered on 1920s spiritualism: a dim apartment parlor arranged for a seance, radio cabinet, lace tablecloth, candles, spirit glass, cheap wallpaper, heavy curtains, rain at the window, and newspaper under a chair. Show one medium and one skeptical client. The medium has only one oddity, skin that seems faintly luminous only in candlelight. The client is ordinary human with no oddity.

Create a magic baubles reference proof: a pawnshop glass display cabinet with odd small objects, rings, tarnished charms, cracked pocket watch, bottles, keys, and disagreeing reflections.

Open the character's spellcasting job first. The job tells you which spell list the character uses, how many spells they know, the casting DC, and what happens after a failed spellcasting check.
Then open the spell record. The spell gives its tier, range, duration, and effect. If a spell creates an opposed check, uses the last spellcasting check, or changes what failure means, use that spell text for that moment.
The current source snapshot backs the priest, wizard, and witch spell lists and spell entries. It does not contain the full Eldritch Incursions tables, so job records can tell you when to roll on those tables but not replace the table bodies themselves.
