The prominent magic system in my WIP, is called Willing.
It is quite simple; you use your Will to manipulate Tuatha De Dannon, the life force that's inside every living thing. With this, you can use magic, so far, however, I've having trouble imposing rules and limits on the system.
I know what happens if you Will to much; you go Brain-Dead; basically you have no control over your body and your mind blacks out, and if you Will to much, you could go into a coma or die.
the problem lies in figuring out what can and cant be done. I've limited and rules out some things, by making different races of humans have different styles of Willing, I.E the plain dwelling Arrack have their "Wind Dancers" Who can fly, but not much else.
Your average Willer can unleash Will in a blast, or shape t into little lances (or big ones) to shoot at people. they can also weave lightness or darkness about them, to break up their figures and make them harder to be seen, as well as increasing their vision.
Some Willers, usually ones who experience trauma, also show an ability to manipulate an element, like fire or lightning.
What I need is a reasonable reason as to why they cant Will more. Or any ideas to add to the system would be most welcome.
