    How to make Magical Healing interesting?

    Duly noted on that last point. I don't really have any "healer" characters in mind which is probably something I should fix. Right now I'm just creating the move sets that the healers will use. Powers reflecting the user is one of the best tools a writer has in their toolbox! I really should be...

    How to make Magical Healing interesting?

    One thing I've decided to work on this week as I refine my power system(s) is healing. I've decided that will be a sub-specialty of "Holy Magic" dedicated to Healing Magic, and I want to do more than just "Lay on Hands" like you see in Naruto and Bleach and generic Healing Potions. Those things...

    How many countries does your world have?

    In terms of Galfreeze Project as a whole, my friend it's not a matter of countries... It's a matter of planets and their continents. Most of my worlds have continent-spanning empires because that's an easy surface layer to make for deeper worldbuilding on the regional and city scale. Some...

    So in my setting there's a 'sea' of data...but...

    I have a similar dimension to your "sea of data" I call The Digital, which is a space created by the resonance of computer's across the Multiverse connected by the Ley Lines. The Digital exists as an archive and a backup of everything that exists, and people can "attune" to the Digital by...

    Character Morality through Ideals

    Duly noted. Freiderick does have good qualities too, a sense of honor rooted is his big one and the desire to look out for his family, while a common redeeming quality I use, is strong in Friederick. I should mention that Friederick isn't the only protag of the story either. The story he's part...

    Character Morality through Ideals

    I haven't gotten to actually writing down manuscripts, much to my dismay there's simply too much work to be done in pre-writing and I keep adding more onto that load, but thing I know for certain I want to do with characterization is to abandon the black and white "good versus evil" structure...

    I want to use a 'ranking' system in my fictional world.

    Is your God of Wind a Happy Chaos type deity that just likes to screw around? My "God of Chaos" is surprisingly lackadaisical and doesn't tend to mess with people very much. My actual Wind God, who is an interpretation of the Queen of Air and Darkness, has no real "morality" in the sense that...

    Elemental Magic

    Here's how I handle it. There's a specific set of conditions you need to become a God, and most "Divine Spirits" aren't Gods. Mortals can't even use the full spectrum of Supernatural Phenomena(Magic and related things) because their bodies and souls will be torn to shreds if they try. There's a...

    Elemental Magic

    Proof that many of the greats don't need power levels or even power scaling. I'd argue Kentaro Miura's Berserk is a great example of very subtle "power storytelling". The beauty of Berserk is that Guts is both OP and the Underdog by virtue of his situation. Of course I'm only three volumes into...

    I want to use a 'ranking' system in my fictional world.

    I have a potential name for your concept if you haven't named it yet. "Scatter-Score Girl". I like what your doing, it's very Goblin Slayer and more Goblin Slayer is good!

    Elemental Magic

    All of this. I've been watching Totally Not Mark's review of Bleach, one of my main inspirations, and one of his complaints with the series was how Kubo was seemingly unable to incorporate meaning into his fights. That's a point that can be argued by Bleach fans, I myself disagree, but the main...

    I want to use a 'ranking' system in my fictional world.

    Ah yes, King from One Punch Man. Seriously though I like this character concept go for it!

    I want to use a 'ranking' system in my fictional world.

    I would take inspiration from the earlier portions of Fairy Tail. They have standard wizards and "s-class" wizards who stand leagues above the rest. One of the goals of the MC in the early portions of FT is to reach S-Class. Taking inspiration from some of the better Isekai stories would be...

    Elemental Magic

    I on the other hand play it straight with my Grade System. Grades are a system of ranks ranging from Least to Ultimate with Least basically being on the level of parlor tricks and Ultimate encompassing Godly feats of the Supernatural. And there's a lot of in-between. However, Mages themselves...
