Personally I would just avoid the whole thing by having the culture in question wait until 17 or 18 or whatever instead of marrying people young.

Someone in the setting can always find out what level they are through the system. Finding out the level of someone else is a slightly more complicated affair. Items to scan someone's level are fairly common, but without that characters are left with more of a vague sense of how dense someone's...

One of the base functions of the system that the System Builders civilization built was to aid in the use of magic both directly and serving as a tutor. With the technological aesthetic of the System Builders that manifests as almost a video game style form of magic complete with classes...

Well, you might not be able to make a computer, but don't underestimate what you can achieve with just access to the sort of twenty year old textbooks you can find in a college library.

Well, objectively speaking it certainly works for a story. The relation between Atariel and the Creator could be clearly. At first it seemed like they were supposed to be the same thing, but later looks like they're seperate beings. Subjectively it's very Christian-y.

Ten commandments? Nope. For the most part there's just the standard formal and informal cultural norms. (Plus stuff that I just don't want to write about as an author.) Individual or groups of gods might communicate commandments to their followers, but that's just something the gods themselves...

World building is my favorite hobby so I've been tinkering with this setting for a long time. I've got a lot more material for it, but these eras are just what's relevant for a story. This requires some explanation. So, beyond the walls of reality there is an infinite expanse of twisting chaos...

So, the idea is to keep things loose enough that it's easy to understand what era a macguffin is depending on its nature. Tech based? System Builders era. Magic based? Either Inheritor or High Divine Era depending on if its divine or not. Demonic? Nethertide Era.

High Divine Era: Once the gods freely walked the cosmos. They shaped worlds, created life and offered plentiful blessings. It was an time of unparalled prosperity were star roads could take someone from one planet to another with ease and mirror gates provided access to alternate timelines. In...

Hrm. As near as I understand Rareruin views that it is too common to have fantasy stories where there isn't backlash to LGBT characters in universe and instead wants to emphasize the challenges they would face. I have... thoughts on this view, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say how...

Can you provide a specific example, or ideally three or so examples, of the type of series you are criticizing here? It's rather hard to fully understand where you're coming from with only such made up examples to go by. EDIT: (Three examples would be ideal, because if you got three examples...

Aye, though by that point we've already gone through fighting the English and making our way to Rome. Either the Church of Light is in addition to or is replacing the Catholic church. Both of those would get the readers wondering what's up with that. EDIT: Personally I like cosmic stuff so I'd...

Hrm. Indeed. For the sake of my blood pressure I'm pretty much just looking at the actual world building and ignoring all the stuff before that. So it seems to be a version of Earth only there's aura and a... church of light instead of Christianity? Funnily enough with the generally darker...

Honestly this is... very, very rough. I know you said you're not planning on actually writing it, but you're really all over the place here.

Good news! Pixie dust is from the original story, though called fairy dust there. So it's safe to use. Personally I prefer the moth dust route as well and the magical gun powder idea is interesting. It could make the little fairies horribly dangerous in a fight if they can fully control it...
