    A new idea brings new world build potential! An idea for magic

    I should actually get around to reading Dune lol Yes, if you make a new contract it would get rid of all power from the previous Force, at a meta level, it’s just cuz I didn’t want to mix two powers at once. At a narrative level, although it isn’t something I plan on getting into if I ever go...

    A new idea brings new world build potential! An idea for magic

    Wow I forgot I made this thread lol People don’t really gain any attributes besides the power. The forces are, well, forces of nature. They are intelligent but they don’t think like we do, they can’t really be selfish for example because they don’t need for food, water, or shelter. Since I’ve...

    Careers in a fantasy realm

    I feel like this is a somewhat depended question. How is magic used? Do they know where it came from? These things could create or change jobs. Can magic be used for public/service use? That could also generate jobs. In a story of mine it’s common for people to be hired to charge magical...

    Which Magic system best suits my World?

    People have already brought up opinions and thoughts on the magic itself so I’m going to take a different route. I think the question you should be asking yourself should be, “which magic system supports or upholds the story the most?” Of course a magic system doesn’t inherently have to support...

    A new idea brings new world build potential! An idea for magic

    Hi! One of my preferred pass times is to world build a bit! I ended up writing a short piece of fiction that I hope to share with y’all soon that I never meant to be anything special, however I’ve been thinking about it and it’s been expanding a bit. Recently I thought of how magic might work in...

    What would you like to see more in Fantasy novels?

    Saw a few people mention this already but I definitely agree with both more “unique” races. Or at least more uncommonly used races, as well as more of a mix of science and fantasy. It doesn’t necessarily need to be sci-fi and traditional fantasy, although that is a mix I personally enjoy. I am a...

    Hi I’m Lake :>

    Hello, even though I’m in my mid 20’s I was never much for forums as a kid. But I’ve been trying to work on my writing and getting better at it, and with seemly so few places to post writing that people will actually interact with, I’ve turned here after finding you guys the other day =) so I...
