    Hi, sorry for the very late reply, I took a break from the forum to work on some other projects. It isn't I've never read that, it's the name of a character I made for a previous work that I ha e sinve abandoned. It's just a coincidence lol.

    Writing stopped flowing shortly after dropping tv.

    I will often watch tv and just make notes on my WIP at the same time. Watching shows tends to give me ideas for character personality etc. Eg: one of my characters is based on Brian Blessed. I also need background noise, but can't use music because it's too distracting. Everyone operates...

    Mentally unstable "Hero"

    I agree that it' doesn't really matter how insane your MC is, as long as you make them interesting.

    Cliches that should be avoided

    One I personally don't like is the farm boy (or non noble character) being the heir to the throne. Umm "the chosen one" can be annoying but can be done well. Some one being revived via the love of some one else should be avoided at all costs in my opinion. Some cliches do work if they're done...

    Armour for a battle mage

    My MC in my WIP is a battle mage. Are there any suggestions for what a character like this might wear? Ideally having a balance between manuverability and protection. I feel I should note that my MC is a rarity, they aren't many mages that train with weapons (like less than 20) one of the...

    Ask me about swords.

    My MC is a spell sword/battle mage, what ever name you like. He's supposed to pretty much only use one hand for his sword. Would the long type XII be a sword that could do any significant damage and is it possible/easyish to wield one handed?

    Ask me about swords.

    Ok cool. I have a replica of the altair sword and it is really light to swing and is balanced really well but I didn't know if there was an actual sword like it or if some designer drew it up and thought it was cool hahaha. And the replica is just that, I didn't imagine it to be accurate in the...

    Ask me about swords.

    I would like to ask: What type of sword is the sword of Altaire from the Assassins creed franchise? I've scoured the internet for the answer but can't find it..

    Changing the nature of a magic system part way through a story

    I've had an idea and it is just an idea so I don't have anything concrete yet. My idea is to have the nature of how magic operates and is used change as part of the plot of my WIP. My worlds magic currently is governed by which ever god is watching over the world at the time, meaning each type...

    The Archaia

    What exactly is a pit if sorcery? Is it a well in the ground that acts as a gateway to another dimension where chaotic primal forces twist and mutate everything that enters? Maybe she could turn other women who cross her path into drones to do her bidding via some ritual. Power of nature sounds...

    Seasonal magic part 2: Death magic

    http://mythicscribes.com/forums/world-building/11708-feedback-seasonal-based-magic-system.html Alrighty, so I need to come up with a second magic ability for my MC Nelroth. I've come up with the following idea and I'd like some feedback. Please refer to the link above for my thread explaining...

    Feedback on "seasonal" based magic system

    Sorry, realised the sky gods might not still make sense. Example: a mage who uses wind magic will be weaker at night time but not as weak during the GRC of the night goddess.

    Feedback on "seasonal" based magic system

    The calendar year is split into the six GRCs, so yes there are only the six gods. My society doesn't really have a "month" so to speak. They track the year by number of days per GRC (number of days per year yet to be decided) ie, the 12the day of the forge god. The original mages were the first...

    Calender of events

    Does everyone worship all the gods equally or does each god have their own group of followers? If they all worship every god equally then I would go with a single day for worship (the sabbath). If each god has their own group of worshipers then you could have a day for each god. Also something...

    Feedback on "seasonal" based magic system

    Ok, let me start with what makes a mage. Only those who are of the bloodline of the original 240 mages have the potential to wield magic. It is how ever not a given that people with the bloodline can use magic. So my idea for a magic system is that each God watches over the earth for a...
