Hi guys! I have a basic overview of the magic system and religion in my world, but I need some deep dwelling that I can't seem to focus on. I would love questions and critiques to get my mind going and really flesh out this concept!
The way to world was made is a God made himself two sons (twins). One of the boys wanted extra power and in order to gain that power he was going to murder the father. The father sacrificed himself to the second son so that the son could imprison the first. The fathers body was used to make a planet which my story takes place. The planet is home to 7 tribes who believe that they are made up of a part of his being (ex: tribe one is make up of his blood, the water of the land.)
Magic was released into the world when the Father Of Gods died and his body was used (basically) as fertilizer. Magic is like a skill that is very hard to learn unless you have a natural ability to do so. It takes years of practice and studying. Magic is frowned upon because it is believed that you are stealing from the Father so not many delve in it, and/or it is done in secret. People who are talented have outburst if they do not study to control it. Magic consists of controlling the elemental energies around you. It takes energy of the person casting and they can die from exhaustion. Magic is addictive and very hard to stop using. Also, the caster can only use things that are close to them, such as a camp fire to shoot a fireball. There is less magic in the world because it is being used up. The God only has so much due to him being dead. It's not a renewable resource.
Ok! Let me have it! And thank you in advanced!
