I have a rough 'blueprint' but there's a bit of a problem.
Basically, the difference between a 1 and a 2 tailed Kitsune is like comparing a lake to an ocean, this scale is multiplicative with increased number of tails.
To put it in perspective, the mere presence of a 5 tail is enough to 'break' reality a little, especially if they get angry. With the exception of the Kitsune Empress who's lived long enough to compress/contain her power. There aren't that many five tails left alive.
The problem with my system is, a 1 tail can do all the things a 5 Tail can, but they're much more limited in terms of scale and duration of whatever thing they're doing.
To put it another way, the only limits a 1 tail has is how stupid they are with their training, but if they were to fight a 5 tail directly at best they'd end up with a draw.
There ARE things that only kitsune of a particular number of tails can do though. Like, skills and abilities locked behind x number of tails.
a 1 Tail could stop time with a lot of effort for roughly a city block, but only for a few minutes. A 5 Tail doing the same thing could cover an entire continent, and for multiple days worth of time, with significantly less effort.
While the conflict isn't some grand battle, I'm trying to figure out a way to balance out these characters for when they do fight.
