magic system

Hi there, I'm Echo, and I am a teen author! I've been working on a writing project for 6 months now, and it's set in a fantasy world (wow) where the magic is based on the sun, moon, and stars. So, from that, I have two questions: Is my concept too basic? Is my fleshed-out idea actually any good...

Its a hard magic system that is used in my Kirby au. It affects many things where it is present, including the environment and evolution of organisms. Its important in some of my spec bio. Its on my Tumblr already, so I'll give a link to that post. Here's The magic system. Its kind of a long...

I'm currently planning a novel called Ashbranded, which I'll start writing officially in November. I already have the magic system planned out. The consequence of using too much magic for the Ashbrand society is losing all feeling/emotions and "turning to ash." While it might be described as...

I got feedback that I should post my magic system here on this forum so that is what I’m going to do. I decided to remove the metal part completely, but the only thing that changed is the second part, only a special metal called Ersing could be imbued with mist, but I’ve decided to change it to...

Trying to develop a magic system, where mech are the foci, and is some what machine themed. Trying for a more logical system that leaves room for creativity. Bouncing around so many ideas, following some then hitting a dead end. I need some external input. What I am going for is an artificer or...

Hello all! I'm new here, and I'd love to share what I have so far of the magic system I'm working on for my world. Here is my introduction thread where I give a very basic rundown of my goals for this universe. In this universe, there's a fictional magical element called Connexa that is...

There used to be a whole pantheon of gods, but one day, nobody knows how, the gods themselves died. Now, on mount olympus, the corpses of the gods lay dead and decaying, horrible insects grow fat off of their flesh, the blood of the gods fueling their power as the monsters known as fames. The...

So I have a little problem about my magic system. It's actually my first time doing something like that but in summary: I was thinking of creating a system of magic in which sound (and music) was the greatest driving force and was so powerful that all organic and inorganic matter depended on it...

Hello! This is my first post and I have a draft idea of a magic system :] This is a magic system centering around the usage of air and breathing. This system is called Windwalking, and those who are able to use it are called Windwalkers. Windwalking is not an innate or a learned ability. Rather...

Hello! I used to use these forums years ago, though I lost my original username and the email associated with it. I recently got back into writing, and I'm going back to a story I've worked with on and off for a few years. I'm working on the magic system for my story, and I was hoping I could...

Basically I have a fantasy world I created and I need more ideas for abilities. The premise, put simply, is about a world made up 8 different realms, each with different climate, governments, and cultures. Everyone in this world (with some exceptions) has one of twelve magical abilities. These...

Finally wrote up a thing about magic in my primary story, MagicBound! Wanted to get someone else’s opinion on it! This is from a project I’ve been working on for 11 years since I was 15 lol any questions and of course constructive criticism welcome! Laws of Magic 1- Magic can both create...

Hi! My favorite world, that I've been working on for quite a while, was mostly built around the political system that I've developed. I'm now stuck at trying to figure out how to incorporate magic into it. so far in what I've written I've used elemental magic - a system in which people with...

My world is a high fantasy secondary world inspired by the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression. The world has the technology of this time period and also will have a magic system which coexists with the technology. I have several ideas for my magic system, but can’t decide which one to...

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...

So I have plans to have a magic system in place, I have ideas and how I want the magic to work / I know where the magic comes from. Where I'm stuck is how to regulate it and what sort of worldly and or bodily consequences this magic would have. In most fantasy shows and movies I've watched...

Before I get to the meat and potatoes of this subject, I just wanna quickly thank everyone who looked over and commented on my last thread about converting caloric energy into fuel for fire users to draw from. I got some extremely helpful answers from quite a few different people and for that, I...

so, I just wanted to post how necromancy works on my world, so it may help you: 1 . revival: reviving something is fairly simple with necromancy, you can easily revive a corpse, but, it depends in which state is the corpse to be revived, if its only bones (aka a skeleton) the energy that is...

Hi all, new magic system idea. Popped in my head and I ran with it. There is a dimension between different words known variously as The Else, Abyss, The Other. It is a realm inhabited by spirits and from where magic originates. It is separated from the Mortal Worlds but can be ‘perceived’ by...
