Pretty self explanitory I guess but has anyone read/know of any books that have used a ringed planet? Just trying to think of some interesting ideas that aren't the typical multiple moon/sun idea I've seen alot of.

I actually really like that idea. The whole idea with the seals is to explain how my MC comes into his power so I made it apply to all mages to limit magic. But now I'm thinking it's just him who has a seal placed on him to stop him knowing how powerful he could be. He also doesn't truly...

They can only bend water that they know is there. Eg, they could bend the water in a underground water table but they would have to know exactly where it is. Taking water from the air (humidity) wouldn't be very practicle since there is actually so little of it. But yes it could be done. The...

Another thought I had was maybe they could only increase the rate at which fire spreads. Eg they could make a candle burn out really fast. Or in a battle scenario, some ones clothes are on fire I tiny bit the mage could make the flames engulf said person. So they can augment flames as long as...

I see what you mean. I was trying to make it a little bit different from Avatar. Maybe fire could not be in the first level but be in the second level like lightning. My original thought on it was fire bending would be like they guy from Xmen who can control fire (cant remember his name) but...

In my WIP magic has several 'levels' of power, each one allowing a mage to cast different spells. Level 1: Bending - this is what new mages are taught. It teaches them to be in tune with nature and to respect how volatile and dangerous both nature and magic can be. As you might've guessed...

All hybrid animals are sterile. Ligers, Zedonks and the like. The simplest way to put it, it's because of something called hybrid vigor. Nature automatically wants to give offspring the best traits of each parent to ensure the survival of the species. Now hybrid vigor is like genetics hax. So...

He could just as easily not be in the inner realm. I think I made it more complicated than it had to be. Unless I had some kind of hierachy among the gods which required Iveunik to be there, ie he's the most powerful of the 10. Again, maybe making it more complicated than it has to be.

Also I'm wondering if the whole gods sealed away thing is too cliche...

Ok, I'll try and keep it short and sweet as possible. The gods: Oluja Polzar Saulok Sannis Vann Iveunik Kan Yaval Zaman Yarat After the Gods created the mortal realm the created man, gifting him with the knowlege of the Gods existence and names. Over the centuries the Gods...

Ok, people reading this; disregars thus thread. Need to nut this out alot more.

I see what you mean. Like I said, very tired haha. Essentially the approach I'm going for is the force in star wars. It's just there. And some people can use it and others can't, simple. This has been giving me trouble for ages. Gonna have to rethink it again..

Not sure if I've explained enough to get the full scope, I'm quite tired haha. I'll hopefully make a more concise version with more intricasies following feedback from this thread. All comments and opinions are welcome :)

So, since my first post last night regarding my MC and recieving good feedback it's given me a good shove to get the whip cracking on my work and share my ideas with other writers to hear some constructive criticism... This may take a bit. You've been warned. So my magic system as it stands...

Trilogy. My intention as I developed this idea was to have Rhale become the outright villain by the end of it. Which is the set up to the next trilogy where a new hero comes out of a kind of post apocalyptic world after decades of Rhales rule to defeat him. That's my INTENTION though. Whether it...
