    What three things made the core of your story?

I was mainly describing where I got my core mechanics but if I had to put it into words, it'd be: - Discovery & Exploration...

    What three things made the core of your story?

    When I set out, I knew I wanted the reader to discover the world as they went. I wanted them to feel like they are with the protagonist, making sense of his surroundings at the same time he does.

    Chapter Titles and irrational obstinance

    I'm always clear about which order my chapters are in. I always structure my titles like "Chapter(#): (Title that describes the main focus of the chapter)." It's clear, and it gives the story flavor.

    Last December there was a black cat at my workplace that just was resting up near one of the pillars. As soon as my shift ended, I took her home with me in a box. We named her Frankie.

    Magic system tied to physical materials. Good idea?

    Okay, so there's three basic ways to use magic ingredients in my world. You can use them as an alchemist, as a runesmith, or as a channeler. Alchemists are the most common spellcasters. They take the ingredients and mix them together in a magic brew. Everyone knows a little bit of alchemy for...
