Basic magic system

[2021]

This magic system is based of imagination(Don’t know the words so I’m using imagination) . So if you can’t imagine water then sucks for you.

(That element) Manipulation - Manipulate (element).

(That element) Generation/Manifest - Generate/Manifest (element).

(That element) Transmutation - Transform (elemen) into a a different form of the (element).




this one usually only works for fire,earth,water, and air.

What about spirit/emotions?

Dunno, I’ve only made one for elements.

This system seems kinda basic and not fleshed out. If it is based on imagination then anyone can do anything. I'd consider making it far more restrictive and based on something else. For example training magic like you would muscles or maybe willpower related. It can really be anything as long as it is interesting.

What exactly is the goal of this post? Is it asking for help figuring out magic systems in general, looking to expand the one you have, or just bragging about the cool new concept you came up with?

(Also, I feel like the default profile pics are a secret communication method. Let's try to spell something strange.)

Nope, just posting random things for people to see

That’s also the point. It’s like a building block in a way

Seems to work fine as a loose system tbh~

It basically means everyone can do whatever magic they want for as long as they can use magic in the first place, though the intensity of the spell depends on how strong is the imagery one uses~

It should work well enough~

Are you crowdsourcing every aspect of your story? Is this an experimental crowdsourced writing project?

(Because honestly that sounds like it would be pretty cool.)

In a world with a system like that, that world would disappear in at most a month, minimum a second

my magic system is the literal sense of "touch grass". if you want to bend water, spend a lot of time with water. that's how you get to bend water. for fire, just live in a volcano, or set your hand on fire every day. that's how you bend fire.

most "wizards" in my universe are ageing elven or beastial farts that have no physique whatsoever because they spend 80% of their life just trying to understand water/fire/ice/earth/wind/etc. through FEELS alone.

Well kinda of, the person can only do so much. The kinda gotta go with the feel, well how would I say the essence in a way. You cant do magic without first understanding the element first.

(Also like you gotta be pretty strong to end the world, and even if you did you don’t have air)

Also depends at you skill level of controlling that element. Also the amount of mana you put in it.

Imagine magic as a flame, more kindle (mana) you put in the fire (spell) the more bigger and hotter it gets, but it becomes harder and harder to control, and then the fire (spell) will go out of control and burn down the forest or your house. (Your life will go away if a spell implodes on you.).

Magic require: A lot of metal strength and the ability to not gets mentally tired super fast, and having a lot of mana.

Learn about the difference between "hard" and "Soft" magic it might help you with figuring out the system.

I know what those are (Googled it) and yes I love soft systems because it’s really fun to see what the author does with it

I have no idea why you'd think that. It's not particularly different from stuff I have seen in other webnovels.

Mmmm, I expected as much, makes sense to me~

I was stating facts, in fiction facts mean nothing

I don't see why it would be a fact? You should try elaborating your points if you want to create a proper discussion...

The Chad, says something completely unintelligible and leaves vs the Virgin, detailed explanation that's too long to read and no one cares about anyway.

People are dumb, their idiots, and most of the time given power they'll do something they'll regret, say for example someone killed, lets call him M, M's parents, and M isn't the weep and move on type, rather he's the "THIS IS THE WORLDS FAULT" type, now give him power that allows reshaping of reality based solely on his imagination, he imagines dead world, he fails to contain power needed to create said situation, powers go's out of control and since its at the level in which it's meant to destroy a world, it still causes major damage to the world, and given that at anytime similar situations are likely to happen, for whatever reason, we can safely assume, that this world will not last for long

Want cookies with the popcorn? ?

That assumes that everyone has apptitude for magic and that they have enough mana in their bodies to cause major destruction.

Seems like two really big assumptions.

hmm, meh, guess your right.

Now do you want the cookies and popcorn or not? ?
