I traverse many writing forums on the internet from time to time and i'm finishing up on my current wip's first draft but this has been eating away at me for sometime. My magic system is a unique one, at least in my opinion, and i have been struggling with it for a long time. Eventually i...
Honestly i don't know, in my world magic has only been introduced a short while ago so it's not something the world has always had though this doesn't mean it has to be mundane. I know i want the setting to be more modern since i'm kind of over the medieval thing but i still love a lot of...

I think i will, the story has been though out but i'm not great with magic system since always want them to be unique and have no hole eventually driving myself mad thinking. Maybe you can help me with something, originally the system did not allow for magic to be stored. when an emotion is...
i love your ideas and though i am still working it out wanted to share a little, i want to limit the emotions to five. basically, and unintentionally, the five from inside out. Each emotion has a different power that comes from it and skilled mages would be able to use triggers to force the...
