    I love your magic bees!

    Building a World Without a Clue of Where You're Going

    I've taken the opposite approach, and I don't have the same problems, but at the same time I kinda do. For me it becomes how would a planet of people who evolved with this renewable, non-polluting source of magic energy progress technologically? Look at the ways that humans in real life got...

    Building a World Without a Clue of Where You're Going

    I know what you mean. There are definitely times where not knowing how everything works can add to the story. I'm considering having some phenomena that's on the softer side of things, something (or things) that even as they develop more and more scientific knowledge they might still not be able...

    Building a World Without a Clue of Where You're Going

    I'm okay with people questioning character's logic and choices, I mostly wanna make sure that the logic of the magic system is sound, I don't want things to break down mechanically when it's examined in detail

    Building a World Without a Clue of Where You're Going

    When my friend and I decided to start writing together regularly, all I knew I wanted to do was to build my own magic system and fantasy world. So we sat down and brainstormed some stuff together, and I ran with ideas that I liked. I want to build a cohesive, coherent, well thought out magic...

    Is there room for Science Fantasy?

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic right? That's the approach I'm attempting to take.

    Connexa - Renewable magic fuel

    Thanks! I'll check it out! It doesn't look like Writer's Work is a place to post stories? Looks more like writing habits and encouragement to write

    Connexa - Renewable magic fuel

    I disagree. I don't think you have to have a good side and a bad side to tell a good story. And sure, there could be plenty of philosophies of existence that aren't evil. And what do you mean "what then of science?" Are you implying that science is a philosophy of existence that is evil?

    Using Prompts

    I use prompts to get the creativity flowing. If I'm feeling stuck when I'm working on something, I will sometimes switch to a different story, or do a prompt if I really need to do something fresh.

    Hylos VS Tempest

    Hylos emerged from the dense forest into a large clearing, the place that he last encountered the species that he was calling Tempest Crows. He strode into the clearing with purpose, making no attempt to sneak up on the enormous bird. Hylos was not considered a short man among Piminians, and...

    Connexa - Renewable magic fuel

    It could be used to kill people yes. I imagine it could be woven into martial arts, releasing energy as they punch or block. No lead into gold. Apparently we can only do that in "insignificant amounts" inside of particle accelerators. I get the appeal for the softer magic systems, but one of my...

    Connexa - Renewable magic fuel

    Hello all! I'm new here, and I'd love to share what I have so far of the magic system I'm working on for my world. Here is my introduction thread where I give a very basic rundown of my goals for this universe. In this universe, there's a fictional magical element called Connexa that is...
