I apologize in advance, I haven't slept much in the past week, so this might get incoherent and rambley if it does, please feel free to tell me to sit down and shut it until I have slept.
My current, (and seems like forever) WiP is set in multiple words, layered and connected through portals. The World of Life has no magic, World of Magic (obviously) does. I have a cost for magic used on the land, (used for improving crop production, water to dry areas, etc.) it effects the coinciding location in the World of life. For example; where they use magic to produce more crops in WoM, in WoL that field will start struggling to produce, and over time stop producing all together. The Emperor of the WoM has lived for nearly 1,000 years, while the WoL leader (king? president? council head? I dont know yet) rarely lives past ten years once in office.
What I am lacking is a personal cost to each magic user. In the WoM, magic use is an everyday occurrence, every one uses it in some small way, there are Temples devoted to teaching it's use along the lines of what ever god they follow.
I realize that it isn't really essential to the story but I feel I need one to pull on for my own limitations. Brain is broken now, help please?
(oh, and Hi! I'm new here!!)
