So... today I found myself in Waterstones buying Ramond E Feists new book: the King of ashes... book numero uno of a new trilogy... a new... world! Now... Feist has been a source of calm and an escape from boredom when away with the work (I’m a pipeline welder so we tend to go away every so...

Yeah you’ve definite hit it on the head NG - and your thought line is pretty much in line with what I have planned anyway: I think I’ll go for the safe option of like you said, having the Astolology, and patterns of the Astral Plane affect only the potency and efficacy of magic, and not ordinary...

I thought it would be something like that. There is going to be a “Balance” capital B. To the Order and Chaos of the Univers (big capitols = Forces of Creation) I’m stealing from the Third Law here: for every Pull, there is a Push. Yeah the planetary distances would fluctuate as dictated by...

Ah, well as part of the setup - there are 4 Planes/Realms in the world... the Physical is one... and the Ethereal is another, which is the Energy Plane. which is linked to the Physical, In that changes in one affect changes in the other (this is more for sorcery) the third plane is the Astral...

Actually... that makes a whole load of sense. Makes me think that I’ve been worrying/over complicating something. Yes I’m going to say for ease of reference as the writer, I’d be referring to the laws of OUR earth, as the base-line, and what the fantasy humans believe as their laws, as true for...

Hey there folks, got another head scratcher for you. Still early doors planning stage for most stuff... but I’m also working at getting a prologue typed down (progress!) But for the world building and magic side of things, I’m trying to work out if my idea is feasible, but what exactly the...

you hit it on the head with the wording of the question :) thats exactly what im hoping to research! and again even the Priests magic isnt all that flashy either... I'd say its more Potent than a normal Sorcs (it actually follows similar rules with a few changes... it is after all Divine Magic)...

I knew I worded that wrong... I wasn't trying to get you guys to do my research for me, though I suppose it does read like it? but what you suggested was what I was after: A starting point.... will definitly check out those systems. well magic is considered to be Chaotic (in the triangle of...

Hey Glofindel... So my interpretation of the Original post... is that you want to transfer Age... rather than time? (Since that's how you worded it?) Or are we actually talking about Time capital T magic... or stage of divisional microorganisms in sentient creatures? (Ageing) Have you...

Hi there fellow scribes, Another question or two to the collective. So, following the headscratching I've done over the past week... I've hit a couple snags through knowledge gaps, and lack of a Google fu black belt 1: following the evolution of society and a governing body... how...

good point... so maybe some sort of failsafe that nudges Souls to become more and more "ready" or perhaps something of a longing to feel the physical world again? EH the Lost thing ive actually got my solution to that... Rebirths' Ascendant is a special case, in that she is His adopted...

thats me just trying to feel out how people in this country would react to beggars/people down on their luck. Aww no worrries! I'm always open to opinions, because there's always something to learn from them...even if that something is "no, that doesnt click" or "hey, that sounds good!"...

as always the best answer is usually the simplest one :D So there is an interesting question... if its survival of the fittest, would that then mean that someone who has managed to survive in this world AS someone who has nothing... has more of a right to live than the ones who start out...

I think I understand, so what while they are Told that they will be reborn... not everyone will take this to heart... perhaps even the most Devout of His Priests? the actions of previous influencing the next are kind of what Im leaning towards... the rebirth thing is kind of a fledgeling...
