Sorry that I typed so much. So i'm still new to fantasy and world building and i'm trying to make a magic system. I have a bit of an idea in mind that I really like and it fits into my world but id still like to run it past you guys and get some feedback. Please read everything. In my world there are four different mediums through which magical acts can be executed, Adare, Iloss, Surin and Eira. These four mediums are often referred to as The Amory. They are the remains of a type of deity in my world called the Nu, that sacrificed themselves to preserve the plane of existence that they ruled over. A person must be attuned to one of these mediums in order to manipulate it. There are three levels of attunment, minor, medium and full, it is rare to have full attunement.
Adare was the goddess of forest, beast and hunting, those attuned to her medium can manipulate or influence elements of nature such as flora, fauna, water and air.
Iloss was the goddess of night and day. Because the goddess favored night over day the darker side of her sphere is far more versatile than that of the lighter side. Those attuned to her medium have access to many dark and eldritch powers, while the lighter powers are mostly limited to fire magic and the manipulation of light to create powerful illusions.
Surin is the god of Knowledge, death and The Underrim( pretty much like hell in my world) People attuned to his medium have access to powers such as telepathy, clairvoyance, necromancy, the summoning of spirits and demons, hell fire and access to the Underrim via portal.
Eira was the goddess of sustenance, energy and creation. She was the conscience and soul of the planet. Small amounts of Eira are present in everything living and nonliving( everything except for the dead who automatically relinquish the Eira in their bodies upon death). Through out my world's long history only four people have had minor or medium attunement to Eira and they were considered to be the some of the most powerful magic users ever known. I actually need help deciding what kinds of abilities and powers can be used with Eira any suggestions would be great!
I have a magic poor world, years ago a cataclysmic event caused magic users to die off in great numbers and most of magic users that exist now can only manipulate small amounts of the mediums that they are attuned to. Each medium in my world is described by the people as being a rough substance, it does not actually have a texture and you cant really touch it but as it flows through the magic user it wears down the soul the way sand paper wears away wood, parts of the soul can be protected or retrieved through many hours of meditation and the strengthening of ones will power . There are two types of magic users in my world, Core mages and Stone mages. When a core mage is born they have a minor attunment to the entire Amory even Eira but they have can manipulate any of the mediums but soon after birth a network begins to form within the newborn's soul, this is considered the most dangerous part of a mages life. The forming of this network cuts off the connection to the other mediums and leaves them attuned to one medium, very rarely does one have attunment to multiple mediums. Stone mages are born already attuned to a medium but can not manipulate it with out the use of something called an Azory stone which is used as a focus. A stone mages magic is less potent than that of a core mage but a core mage has less control over her/her magic, emotions or stray thoughts can cause a spell to go awry and because a core mage interacts with the medium directly their souls have more wear.
This is what I have so far I'm sorry that its so much. One thing that I would really like help with is that I really want The Amory to act more like a system,kind of like having each medium have some kind of interaction with each other any suggestion would be greatly appreciated and please pick my magic system apart as much as you like and please ask for any clarification.
