breaking down the specific Whateley Academy examples into sub-entries.


* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': A number of mages in the series use 'spell slips', even when a given wizard's or witch's magic is otherwise from a Western tradition. Bladedancer, whose powers stem from Taoist magic, uses [=Fu=] for binding spirits and demons, and as a way of preparing spells ahead of time. Abracadabra, who is a middle school student, uses disposable paper sheets to write RunicMagic, though the implication seems to be that this is a crutch until she learns how to cast with InstantRunes. Glyph, who is unable to use magical incantations due to her specific Avatar spirit, has to use various kinds of written or drawn spells, which often includes scrolls or slips of various kinds (as well as {{Power Tattoo}}s). Rather cleverly, during a trip outside of the school She-Beast is shown enchanting an otherwise [[DeathDealer ordinary deck of cards]] with various cantrips meant to calm, confuse, or distract anyone who might attack her and her group.
