Imagimancy

_{(eh-maj-eh-manse-see)}Basically this is an attempt to fill the gap between communities of: daemonism, tulpamancy, soulbonding, self-shipping, immersive daydreaming, willomancy, (etc) where you might have or want "imaginary friends" as an adult.The practice of imagination, daydreaming, visualization¹, etc.Includes imaginary friends (and enemies), inner and outer visualizations¹, etc.And even if something is technically not Imagimancy (or wasn't originally, or whatever), this community talks a lot about using your imagination regardless of what for, so feel free to come by to talk about tips or ask for help with things!─────────────
_{¹ "Visualization" doesn't have to be simulated sight.}

⚠️ warnings ⚠️

^{Not sure "imaginary friends" need a warning as such but}
If you are plural and you have a very low threshold for "printing new people", making any imaginaries probably carries a risk of doing so.
Ultimately you know your own limitations and personal risks.
