So a friend and I are co-writing a comic book. We were discussing a certain kind of magic and how it works, and the ideas were flowing so well. Everything made so much sense and we were so excited. Then, it hit me. The reason everything fit so well and sounded so good was because we basically just described "the Force" from star wars.
Since then we have been working hard on how to distinguish this piece of the story from the force, but its hard work. Even after revising it, it has that vibe that makes you think of the force when you understand the basic elements of how our form of magic works.
So I ask, how much is it ok to borrow. I know theres no official scale of measuring what is too much or too little, but if you guys could ive me some examples if your stories or others when there are similarities that no one seems to notice/care about i would greatly appreciate it
