          	In a world where the moon's phases affect magic, which phase would enhance your magical abilities the most, and how would you harness its power?

@highfantasy @itsjessmurrell Witches use the moons energy a lot in their rituals. Depending on the time of the cycle, it is good for certain spells. For example, a new moon is great for new beginnings. Crystals can also be charged by the moon - a full moon is preferable here. The main character in my first book "Rose" is a witch and attends the Moon Circle as her first group ritual. Feel free to check it out

@highfantasy I belive those who don't have moon related powers, would be stronger at the 1 &2 phases of the moon, etc, etc, until the full moon where watter manipulation powers and werewolves and suff like that would be at it's peak.

Professor of Vibrational Energies and Manifestation.
            It's interesting to see and feel the energies of all living things and inanimate objects. Studying them would go a long way towards a masters in Alchemy too. Exciting stuff!

Healer.  Let’s face it someone is bound to get hurt at some point.  Warrior/soldier would be a close second.

@highfantasy actually I feel like in every story there should at least be an apothecary, or some sort of healer to help the good guys or prevent them from achieving there goal.

Hail, High Fanatics!
          
          We've got an exciting announcement, and are please to share that we've created a discord for the High Fantasy community!
          
          There are still some things to set up within the server (like gender role selection), but it's functional, and we'll add more features once more people filter into the server.
          
          We will be seeking people to help out with the team as a community; High Fantasy started as a community profile, and we believe this should be run for the community. 
          
          The reading list form is still the same, so authors may continue to submit there for now, but in the meantime, feel free to join our discord, meet fellow members, and get settled in. 
          
          Please bear in mind, the lead is running this with only two other members, so there will be an adjustment period while we continue to transition fully over to the community. 
          
          Cheers!

          Reading List Submissions Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3Pg1y6EWGH3VNljbpvbJ3OSnvue173Ri8rl5pVH3JEksrrA/viewform

Hail, High Fanatics!
          
          How’s it going?
          
          We’ve been transitioning to the new environment, and we intend to reopen a new reading list submission form soon. We also have plans to establish an LGBTQAI+ list and are brainstorming others as well. 
          
          Contests! We know you all love those, and it’s a fantastic way to meet your fellow Wattpadders while doing what you love. Once the dust settles, we plan to collaborate with more profiles and hope to launch an independent challenge this year as well.
          
          What we want to hear/see from you—the fabulous High Fantasy Community—want to see from us so we can maximize reading, engagement, and fun! This can be anything from Question of the Week, workshops, monthly drabbles; you name it!
          
          We look forward to the next stage on our magical journey. 
          
          Happy questing!

@chels94x I agree! Reading stories with characters I can relate to is dope! I’ll add that I also like to see more POC in characters as well as gender nonconformity

@highfantasy a disability reading list. From Learning Disabilities to physical disabilities. With the main character or side character. And normalise them in the story and let people be seen. Really passionate about this (online and off).

          You've all probably noticed some changes happening among the subgenre profiles, particularly that we no longer carry the Wattpad Logo. Some things outside of our control have shifted, but the profile will continue to run the way you all know and love, but as a community profile and no longer affiliated with Wattpad Ambassadors and its people.
          
          There's nothing to worry about — Contests will still run, interviews will resume, and stories will be added to our reading lists again in short time.
          
          Please bear with us as we sort through the changes, and thank you all so much for your patience.

          It's time for another question of the week!
          
          In a land of ancient prophecies and hidden relics, what artifact would you seek to recover and what role would it play in the fate of the realm?
          
          Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

The Queen’s shape shifting stones/jewelry.  Gifted to her Daughter before her death they had allowed a beast of epic proportions not only hide in plan sight but partake in political gains of great magnitude while appearing non-threatening to the clueless masses.
            
            Stealth is imperative and the best battles are the ones that you never have to fight.  Blending in and going unnoticed has its advantages and can tip the tides of wars.  People are stupid and will follow a monster in to battle if it looks like a bunny.

@highfantasy In the realm of ancient prophecies, I would seek the "Celestial Keystone," a long-lost artifact said to hold the balance of cosmic energies. This mysterious relic, adorned with celestial markings, possesses the power to unlock portals to other realms and channel elemental forces. Recovering the Celestial Keystone becomes a quest of paramount importance as it plays a pivotal role in averting an impending cataclysm foretold by prophecies. The artifact, when harnessed wisely, becomes a tool to restore harmony, heal the land, and thwart the malevolent forces seeking to exploit its immense power for destructive purposes. The fate of the realm hinges on the journey to recover and wield the Celestial Keystone, a beacon of hope against the encroaching shadows of ancient prophecy.

@highfantasy The Gods' Clay Pot of Common Ground. It reveals ways to communicate with enemies or rivals.  It would end a war whose origin and purpose has been lost in time.

          If you possessed the power to communicate with mythical creatures, which one would you form a close bond with and how would your partnership influence your adventures?

Definitely bond with a dragon! We could fly around to different places, maybe explore a forest and discover new things. Having a dragon friend also helps defend against bad guys or dangerous creatures that could come at us.
