I love time loops!
Introducing a bad thing because solely because things are going too well is a bit cheap, I plan my bad things well in advance with respect to the themes thank you very much. Well, I used to, I’m trying the pantser route for the first time so who knows, but point is suffering...
Push and pull, plans going wrong and unexpected fortune. Basically write a fight scene but stealth flavored. This may sound weird but look to pro wrestling writing tactics. I saw a video about connecting that and writing fights somewhere on youtube
Uh what’s the mirror made of? Ice? Bronze? Stainlesss steel? Or just concept? Conceptually csn’t think of anything that can possibly beat mirror except another mirror triggering a paradox

Pfff bro you watch summoning salts at all? And how is it any less boring than a top of the leaderboards goal that also has no real weight. It‘s a game.
Speedrun! Dunno how you”d speed run an MMO but I’m sure some out there have done it. Speedrun a boss, speedrun to level ten, speedrun an annoying escort quest, speedrun story mode
I haven’t tried this myself, but it works in relationships with attachment difficulties so it might work in stories; the “wait” strategy. Whenever you’re gonna explode and do something rash, just wait, make that decision later with a cooler head.
Well when times are desperate, dictators are more likely to come in and take over by force, so it wouldn’t be unrealistic. I like dungeons but I feel like the way they’re written sometimes takes the mystique out of it. I really liked the soft way they made it in Kidnapper Dragons with tears in...
Maybe if she dissolves certain things her consistency chnge. If she absorbs starch/glue, more solid, more water more runny, and if she dissolves salt he shrinks. Double check the science tho. Also make it harder to control if she’s too runny or too solid, so she needs a balance for max...
