I've been recently toying with the idea of a communal psychic presence as a way to explain magic and all the fantasy things in my story as in the humans basically imagined them in existence due to wars and strife or purely because enough people believe. I know its not an original idea because I partially for the idea from Warhammer orcs who as some of you might know are able to as a community just make a lump of metal shoot bullets without any ammo or force.
I thought it is quite intresting as while it allows me to create anything humans could imagine or that's part of human identity thinks like trolls and magic it also let's me limit them once they are created. Say for instance the magic in my world is in the form of symbols and writing but its brought to life because the only surviving books are books that write about it as no other type of magic is described any where, so people who read it start to believe that it's true but not that everyone can do it, say only wizards. Then people who beleive they are wizards or magical are given magical power by the belief that they are. It can get more and complicated as I need it to explain more intresting things
Excuse my writing I'm on a phone and basically made it up as I went. What do you guys think of it, too cliché? Too easy? Or could it be interesting and useful.
I'm not sure psychics the right word but hopefully you get my meaning.
