Growing Wings

Goodness, I just read the post #14 of AwakeTooLong, and we have the same idea, regarding the DNA, genes and etc haha.

You can grow invisible wings and you can feel them flap.i have some rather large ones.just imagine its a great feeling.

It won't work.

You CANNOT grow wing. Grow up or go roleppaly somewhere else.

I think it's possible...if the end intent is to fly. You could imagine yourself with wings, work a spell based on your path of life and use those wings as a focal point through will and focus. But the wings themselves wouldn't be visible.
Later on, you can try to make a observable set of wings through psionics, but all that forceful power would certainly drain someone to near nothingness...but I believe it would be possible once you can picturize the wings through psi.`

Oakwillow. Your biograph states that you are now about 28 years old. Have you learnt nothing in 28 years? Posting that it is possible to grow wings?

Ok, I have two parts to my post.

1~ All of you people who say it is not possible, I ask you this. Do you know EVERYTHING about magic? Have you studied every single art, mastered it, and then reached the potential of magic at its fullest? If you say yes, then you are lying for magic is not measurable, nor are the possibilities. (Don't stop reading just because I disagree with your blatant "No" statements, please.)

2~ If creating wings that worked to make you fly was possible (I will not state one way or the other my opinion because I truly don't know), then how in the world would you go about it? Those who mentioned altering DNA were fully correct on showing that obstacle, but I see a few more than just that.
Matter. You would have to have the energy to convert raw matter from one form to another to just the right density and shape.

Bone structure. You would either need wings of around (I am assuming you are in the 5' area here and in between 100 and 200 lbs.) 70 feet across, give or take 15 feet or so, to make up for not only your size but your weight as well seing as how our bones are not hollow as well. Either that or you would have to hollow out your bones, which would therefore possibly break under the pressure our bodies constantly put on it and the weight to the wings as well.
You would then have the problem of all the that weight on your body. People get back problems just from carrying full book bags to and from school or from carrying heavy things for a living. How much more intense would it be if you have immense wings on your back?
Energy. How are you going to achieve the required energy to make the wings? Where would it come from? How would you ground a spell so immensly powerful?
Immune system. Our bodies natually fight off foreign material in our bodies if it not compatable. How would you stop your own body from destroying itself to attempt to cleanse the changed you made.
Most important to me: Usage. How in the world would you get away with flying around and not being captured like some sort of freak and experimented on?

There are many things I didn't cover because I am not smart enough to see all of the factors. I am, however, smart enough to realize that I would rather not try that spell (well, the one on the site probably doesn't work, but there might be a way to achieve it somehow.......maybe) because there are too many variables, too much energy required, and too much that could go wrong for me to even remotely feel safe doing it.


Now, while some people were arrogant enough to flat out say it is not possible (they could be right but they have no way of knowing, so yes, it is arrogance to a degree), I simply say its most likely not in your best interest to try. If you do try, best of luck to you because I think you will need it or at least some ego boost in the most likely case it won't work.

People miss understand the abilities of magical practitioners. Reality plays a huge part in all magical workings therefore if what you are trying to accomplish with magic is unrealistic then it is not going to work. There are those who will falsely state that anything is possible with magic and if that was true we would have world peace, there would be no starvation, we would have dead bodies reanimated and walking around, everyone would be rich, etc. One needs to consider the probability of whether a casting will work or not. It is possible to physically effect the body with magic however this does not mean you can grow new appendages. Healing the body, encouraging hair to grow faster/stronger, losing/gaining weight, are possible to influence with a magical casting. As for this growing wings spell it is not going to work in the physical however it might work on the astral to give you wings so that you can fly with when you take your astral form.

@Brysing, Before I get irritated, re-read my post and realize that I said "picturize" (through psi.) I didn't say physically growing wings, but if you can project images through psi it wouldn't be hard to project a wing image. And if you can't project images for others to see...then you simply don't have a leg to stand on to reply to me.

Your post says " if the intent is to fly", thereby implying that the "imagined" wings would actually fly. The original post was for "physical" wings.
