If your into that style of writing, you may be interested in researching Azazel, who was the demon who taught us to forge weapons, and armor.The story I'm working on is based loosely on Christian theology, were humans are sometimes born with blessings from God which allow them to perform miracles. Blessings can also be granted later in life by holy artifacts or by the pope.
Conversely, magic is the work of demons and is invoked through rituals, contracts, and other nefarious means.
Well, this is actually a thing in some high fantasy groups, where the mother is the source of their level of magic ability, but the magic is dictated by the fathers side. It was weird, but still stands out in my head.or the parent pass it to the offsprings by... well...
1) Gems / mineral spheres with skills in themSo thanks to JRPG and chinese fuckshits, when I tried to write a western medieval fantasy BS where the MC somehow gain superpower to bla bla bla, i find myself either tilted to murder = EXP (LitRPG), martial schools (wuxia/ 低武 low level martial arts), find an artifact (MC route),
When I think about how peasants gain power, all I could think of are either English translated from chinese BS, Lit fucking RPG, or straight up none, where only the people of power have the right to more power. The peasants can go eat shit.
I get the term 穷文富武, bascially just means that those who are resourceful gets to fuck while those who are not gets fucked.
Ok i decided to edit the sex a bit to expand it. maybe I expanded it too muchoh you can get real creative with it. Certain race of people that grant magical powers from sex. And then I suppose lets say those powers can be passed on by sex (eventually becoming diluted and bad, making that generation have to fuck them again). IF the powers don't pass on, I guess the race can be like put into each town and people from nearby go there to fuck them for their powers. Although I guess that's kind of evil. they will escape. So we, as the author, then make it so they cant use their abilities. And they are immortal. With their one purpose in life being sex.
or the parent pass it to the offsprings by... well... sex.
And of course, your idea can be applied too. Lets say there existed a race that passed down magic to weaker humans by sex, but they couldn't actually reproduce and eventually got extinct when their lifespan got over. However, during that, the human bodies got used to a higher being pushing in their magic and evolved to gain magical abilities that way, maybe the race knew of it and banned it since it was sacrilegious. But after they went extinct, the humans started bestowing magical abilities amongst themselves by sex.
Alternatively, Maybe the race fucked only the starting humans and they passed down their magic to weaker humans by sex ever since. You can also separate the abilities into tiers. Maybe each tier gives you further insight into magic and allows you to wield it more efficiently. And of course, to advance through this tier, you have to fuck stronger, higher tier humans.
You can balance this out by making it so that they cannot fuck over and over again, this should produce a threat of extinction that needs to be resolved in the story. Easily giving you an antagonist in the very beginning. The law of nature itself.
You can also go simple, adam and eve but weird route, where god fucked two people and they got magical powers, then those two fucked each other and the powers passed on. But that's boring!
A better, simple sex route will be that whenever someone gets of certain age (or when their born....) an eldritch-esque god fucks them and they gain magical powers.
This however, can quickly get really weird. But who cares about that? the only limitation is your imagination!
I just looked into him, and it looks like he's the demon that Jews sacrifice goats to. Didn't see anything on weapons.If your into that style of writing, you may be interested in researching Azazel, who was the demon who taught us to forge weapons, and armor.

Yes, but Catholics of the middle ages have a form of magic based on religion and faith. One magic book was even written by a bishop as he feared that the inquisition was so fanatical about wiping out magic traditions and grimoires that they were opening the faithful up to satanic influence by blinding their eyes, deafening their ears and leaving them vulnerable without defense.So via magical contracts?
Knowing how feudalistic medieval is, I can already half bet that the nobles are outlawing it while doing it themselves.
Interesting question actually and my answer to that is depends on the world law where the story take places because everyone world gets different world laws to it.If u ask what and how their grain super power the sample answers is being absorbing energy in is the world energy into the body,mind,soul and how use the energy/control up to them decide.So thanks to JRPG and chinese fuckshits, when I tried to write a western medieval fantasy BS where the MC somehow gain superpower to bla bla bla, i find myself either tilted to murder = EXP (LitRPG), martial schools (wuxia/ 低武 low level martial arts), find an artifact (MC route),

Well, perhaps they get strength from organizing. Apes together strong and what not. As for where their magic comes from, it would probably be through some sort mix of potion and artifact crafting. Throughout history/mythology we have had a fixation with brewing alcohol and making medicine. So this makes sense as a power source. We have also created, found, and used things like talismans, ornaments, and other objects for protection against many different ills. Then there is various superstitions. We also have the idea of invoking spirit/ghosts for luck. Of course you also have gods and shit, but something tells me that they would care little for the little folk.So thanks to JRPG and chinese fuckshits, when I tried to write a western medieval fantasy BS where the MC somehow gain superpower to bla bla bla, i find myself either tilted to murder = EXP (LitRPG), martial schools (wuxia/ 低武 low level martial arts), find an artifact (MC route),

Hold it there! I doubt he is trying to write Game of Thrones fics!or the parent pass it to the offsprings by... well... sex.
