I guess this magic can fit into the category of ontotechnology, aka technology so advanced you are able to muck around with the core values and variables of the universe to make results you want to happen, happen. The soul-stuff is a trade with those old gods that know how to do that and the...

I have one question since you mentioned that their blood is hot enough to melt steel and stone, which gives it a temperature of about 2800 degrees Fahrenheit/ 1500 degrees Celcius. That would mean that there is some intense heat generation and that their blood would let off quite a glow. I'd...

Very interesting. I have been messing around with Queshire's proposal for a little bit, and have determined a few things. Beyond the eldrich mathematics driving mortals insane, no matter how smart you are, you need to trade with an eldritch god to get the universe to turn a blind eye to your...

Hmm, that's an interesting idea, and the magic kinda defeats the whole hard sf thing, but what I am more looking for is Firm sf, which is mostly based in reality but where it breaks it is following its own rules. I guess I'll develop the idea and see where it goes.

For the longest time, I have wanted to create a combination of Hard Sci-fi and Magic in the same setting. I have grappled with various ideas, from basically 40k psykers to something like what is displayed in the game Hellpoint, to just straight-up energy beams created by a supernatural material...

Fantastic! Glad I could be of help!

Sorry that I'm late to the draw, I just have been inactive for 4 or so years, school and all. However, I come up with some interesting options for you. Let's start with the fun stuff inside physics and get to the really fun stuff with physics bending magic stuff. So we have the normie...

Also, the little to no magic can make quite a story. Because said character can't have a magical force sweep them out of danger, but they have to be creative and use their limited resources to try to live. As you develop more, I can probably provide better constructive criticism for you.

As a newbie, I really don't think my advice is valid, but I will give it. I honestly think that your story has a wonderful start and keep going! You can make something amazing!

Godess Empresses from the current leading family, whom are chosen by the families elder counsel, will continously rule until there is no eligible heir to the Throne. Then a challenge is hosted. Any female from a royal family from the age of 14 to 16 can enter. They go through a difficult series...

Info dump! This planet is called Thalos IV. 60% of all landmass is considered tundras. All thing above 30 degrees north or 30 degrees south are comparable to Vostok station in temperature. The rest of the planet is considered more temperate, still cold on human standards however. The areas that...

Oh, oh gosh.

Unrelated to the previous topic, apparently Ditherians means diathermy in Greek, Dithera means happy in Greek, and Metathera means by default in Greek.

So I have been struggling with some worldbuilding recently. I have been rather indecisive on how realistic I should make an alien world. I have established that is heckling cold there, and beyond that, I don't know how realistic I should make it.

Wish you luck Courtney!
