    Magic/energy system

    Never! It would be the dumbest thing ever to do that:D. The fact is I initially had the same idea as you. So maybe it's a sign that my initial thoughts were correct. I did plan on making the dark energy exhaustible so that people using the energy would have to put in a new moonglass if the...

    Magic/energy system

    White magic is a passive force, so it can't be used in spells. The idea is that everything and everybody needs it to sustain itself but it cannot be controlled once it is created. So yes its only dark energy that is used to actually do 'magical' stuff. Moonglass is indeed a sort of...

    Magic/energy system

    I noticed this to after rereading my post. Ill try to explain it. White energy is self sustainable. Every process in the world uses white energy but at the same time also creates it when the process is harmonious. This means that there is a constant flow of old and new white energy that forms...

    Magic/energy system

    Thx! I'm still trying to wrap my head around some issues such as the ability to have more moonglasses for one person. Because of the side effects however it might not be the most peasant thing to do. Still working on those negative effect of dark energy. How bad these things can get and how...

    Name for a substance

    What is the setting of your story? Is it set in classic medieval times or the future? For me substances ending on -ium sound really futuristic (tiberium and unobtanium anyone). You say that it does have a physical form? Is that physical form a product of your energy or is thtat the energy? For...

    How do you record your worldbuilding?

    I couldn't imagine tearing up my notes. They are the most authentic collection i have of my ideas. And i just love browsing through them and seeing those concepts that didn't make the cut or have been altered so many times they are hardly recognisable. Then again, tearing up is kinda symbolic...

    How do you record your worldbuilding?

    For me, it's a process. But I am very meticulous and maybe a bit to organized. I tend to work in 3 stages. First I have my pen and paper notes. I have a special notebook that I should carry with me but it often happens that I write a concept or a word down on a random piece of paper. The length...

    A method of execution for a winged race

    I agree with the method being used for special occasions. It would be a good way to publicly display what happens when you mess up that bad. If you like cruel you could even add an element of hope. You could specify that if they manage to stay alive for a certain amount of time, they will be set...
