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 magic each have control over a specific element - either the four classic ones or a fifth one which I just dubbed the quintessence, and is sort of emotional, based on Aether in Greek mythology (the spark of life). I'm just worried that it's overdone or cliché and that it isn't interesting enough. I would love feedback on this, or ideas for creating new magic systems.
