Better? That's up to the writer. Personally I'm specifically avoiding medieval stasis in my setting so it's advanced to a sci fi / cyberpunk-y type setting while still having elves, dragons, magic and all that stuff.

When visiting my setting you'd probably run into Artificial Spirits first. They basically play the role of sci-fi style (not real world) AI and are treated as such. Still, despite their artificial origin they are still spirits and could theoretically become demons or gods in time. Natural...

They're fun to write, but I rarely get the chance. I tend to gravitate towards more serious characters. I've got goblins as a race though.

Really, it's the Bodhisvatta that you want rather than the Buddha. Their whole thing is that they put off Buddha-hood in order to help out peeps. =D

Oof, I have to put more work into how I want to handle gods. I'm happy with the world building regarding them, but I need to work on getting better on actually using that world building.

I've been sucked back into the WoW rabbit hole. Send help. Q_Q

Huh? No? It's communism (or something like it) in a fantasy setting. 0.o

Honestly let's all get our heads out of our asses. We're writing this for the readers first and foremost. If it walks like a wizard and squawks like a wizard then it's a wizard.

Magic as mystery is dumb. Edit: Sorry, let me rephrase that. Magic as exclusively mystery is dumb.

In Harry Potter? Hm, I'm pretty sure that canon doesn't really look into it, but it's something that gets looked at in fanfics. Wizards having magical cores is over used in bad Harry Potter fanfics that it's become something of a joke when it comes to fanfics, though there was one story I read...
