Thank you all for the advice, it is true that I try a bit to hard. Probably doesn't help that I used to read Tom Clancy novels when I was younger. Sadly I no longer have those books as they were lost in a fire :( But I've gone and rewrote that entire scene now, adding more context to why the...

This system I've rewrote at least a couple dozen times, the most recent being when I posted about the magical ranks on this site. Mostly since I realized that the system needed more fleshing out. Keep in mind I use Scrivener for my organization, so what I'm posting here will be separated by...

One of the biggest issues I've had is writing out expressions in a written form. Now, this doesn't mean I don't know how to write that so and so sighed or so and so exclaimed or so and so shouted. What I mean is the more complex expression, this is a snip from the story I am writing: "The nine...

I'm embarrassed to admit that I forgot about factoring in the culture of the nation in this. Though I didn't think about using schools to separate the magic, think I'll do that, would make it easier for me to design spells that fall into a certain area. Curious, should I go ahead and post up...

The color one can work for one of the other schools I'm designing, which would actually fit into that schools theme given their magic is more CQC (Close Quarters Combat) Hmm, perhaps the animals one could work, I do have a school whose only mention right now is that it is located deep within a...

Ah, sorry, I guess I need to clarify. They do have regular grades, like 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, or 1st grade, 2nd, grade, 3rd grade, etc. The magical ranking is based upon their actual knowledge and magical aptitude, naturally a student in a lower primary grade probably wouldn't know a...

I find this rather interesting, everywhere else I've been people were at each others throats. Yet here there is meaningful discussion! Granted its still only page one but still! :P Anywho, for me my biggest issues with the last three films had a lot to do with how the main character (Rey) was...

At the moment I have two games up, the first being FFXIV (waiting for a bloody queue, ughs) and the other being Stellaris, where I am eradicating all life in the known universe! >:D

Why hello there everyone :) Name's Kalshion, been writing fantasy based stories (namely fanfiction, but recently started to branch off into my own stories) for the past twenty years, since high school actually (2001-2004... gods has it been that long? I feel old! >_<) My main interest is in...

A friend of mine recommneded I post this here, as I've been stuck on this for quite awhile now. In a story I am writing, the main character recently escaped from a country that hates mages, she is now in one that appreciates them but the school she is set to attend is... rather elitist when it...
