    New Magic System - The Will

    Thank you for your reply! That could help determine the power; the strength of the conduction! Done a bit of pondering on this and I think the possession route willing/unwilling. The possession of these creatures would make them closer to the Else making it easier to draw much higher amounts...

    New Magic System - The Will

    Hi thanks for the reply! I’m not so sure on the effects as of yet, I did think combing strands forms standard fantasy tropes like fireballs, but we will see!

    Using historical terms in a secondary world?

    Hi everyone, One of the nations within my world has a late-Roman feel blended with medieval features. How do you feel about including terms such as Vicarius and Diocese for the governors and administrative areas of the Empire? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anybody care to share their map?

    I aim to let my world tell me the stories to write about. I'm aiming for around 3,000 years of history for my world, most of which I have plotted out. I have no ability with software of any kind so decided to sketch out my map for a reference. Let me know what you think.
