My fantasy world doesn't have any Dwarves in it, but it does have a Gnome though (which is pretty much the closest thing in fiction to Dwarves). His name is Landorus (yes, I'm well aware of the fact that this is the name of a Pokémon, I honestly couldn't think of a better male name that has the...

I'm sure there's probably at least a dozen things about your magic system that differs from mine. Take the elements themselves for examples. Do you focus on the primary 4 like me, or are there some additional forms of magic in your system that house different properties, uses, limitations and...

Well all of them have at least one sub element in addition to their primary one (earth has sand, water has ice, air has lightning and fire has heat), but if we're talking about one of my mages using two elements at once, no. My world doesn't have an Avatar-like character who can learn more than...

Before I get to the meat and potatoes of this subject, I just wanna quickly thank everyone who looked over and commented on my last thread about converting caloric energy into fuel for fire users to draw from. I got some extremely helpful answers from quite a few different people and for that, I...

I mean, no one has ever actually seen someone internally combust with their own eyes, and seeing how conceptually silly sounding the overall concept of spontaneous human combustion is, I don't at all blame scientists and biologists for dismissing it as something that could actually happen to...

I see. I guess they should call it spontaneous flammable property combustion, am I right? He he. Thanks for the reply btw. Also I accidently replied to your previous post in a way that made one half of my response merge with what you were saying a page ago. Still relatively new here (enjoying...

That's actually the exact same idea I had in mind as to how my mages fire magic work. They're basically like any fuel burning system (such as a car) in that they obtain the energy needed to create fire internally from food and guide the flames they create inside their bodies safely through the...

Kinda late response, but this right here is the explanation I had in mind for justifying how my mages can turn a small amount of energy into a fairly powerful attack. Also the fireballs my mages conjure up is never the exact same size as the last one they used. It varies from being half as tall...

Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against chubby people (and chubbiness' in general) at all. It's more to do with the way I design my characters when doing character design. You do raise an interesting point though. It would be rather unrealistic if every single one of my mages were...

I honestly don't know whether this world you're describing would make for a better movie or a better video game, but if it actually existed, I would love to watch/buy and play it.

Oh. Well in that case, I dunno (how would such a world even be able to sustain itself?).

I mean, I guess it would largely depend on what your definition of 'magic' is and what the rules and physical laws of each fictional universe is, but if you're looking for a piece of entertainment that couldn't care less about real world science and physics, the Super Mario franchise is pretty...

Hello :) First of all, you don't need to apologize for making a long post just to answer my questions. If anything, I find this pool of information you've given me extremely helpful, as it helps me iron out the kinks in my magic system. My mages ability to control fire and heat is one that was...

Amazing. Thank you so much for all your help.

As far as exercise is concerned, they tend to do a lot of hunting, walking, yoga/stretching, sword fighting (actually, just weapon duels in general) and even fire duels ala The Last Airbender. Don't suppose any of these would yield the same result as Tai Chi?
