I'm literally studying these drawings to improve my own-

I don't know if that's really a problem, that's just the precursor to a lot of time world building the mechanics behind the magic system. It's essentially how I built mine. I took the ideas I wanted, and then figured out how to make it make sense. Using the example of elemental magic. Where...

That's a very common trope, but one that I personally dislike. It feels like putting the cart before the horse. To my understanding, a god is a powerful being, who's sheer influence draws people to worship and pray to them in the hopes to gain their favor, or avoid drawing their ire. Their...

Divinity, to me, is concentrated conceptual power. Power over a concept, and/or the power that comes from understanding, calling upon, and/or embodying a concept. A being may hold divinity through understanding and/or embodiment of a concept, or there may be a metaphysical manifestation of a...

Any of the three or a combination thereof among save, judge, and self-isolate. Depends on the power and the scale, I guess. If things are too hopeless, there's also the secret option, suicide. I think the ideal scenario, is having supreme magical power, including the ability to forge...

Scorn Contempt Malice Madness Kaleidoscope

I follow a story that I'm actively reading, have caught up with/completed, or caught enough of my interest that I might try and read it when I run out of things more enticing. I will favorite every chapter I read of a story that I think is good enough to bother reading, -atleast until I stop...

Wait, but technically... there would no friction, so you'd fall to the center of the earth, and out the other side, and either be able to rematerialize there for quick travel across the globe, or fall all the way back to where you started. And if you were moving while you did that, you'd keep...

Price: You'll always be in a delirious haze when using the power, getting worse the longer you do so

Mmmmmm. As SternenklarenRiter said, I wouldn't be worried about identity stuff. Every single moment, the past you 'dies', and you are a new version of you, slightly different. But you are still you, and you haven't really died. Because you've had a continuous stream of consciousness. The merging...

Well, I'm certainly not gonna be my own servant, but I wouldn't try to kill me, either. And I wouldn't be using the power thinking of my clones as expendable. A clone is somewhere between a second self, and an identical twin. To be respected as their own individual when they wish for it to be...

Vigor Mortis! Thundamoo!! The good shit, but I can't read her anymore, for the sake of my mental health... :,v

People don't 'turn into' a psychopath. Psychopathy is something someone is born with, and as far as I understand it, fundamentally it's an inability to empathize. A psychopath might logically know what someone is feeling, but what someone else is feeling doesn't make them feel anything in...

I still have it, at least

Never have I ever heard something that sounded more suspicious.

Simply put, mental stats do have relations to and interplay with the physical stats, but it's not quite as heavy as the physical stat's interplay with eachother. Also D&D stats are not sufficient to represent human ability. There's a lot that weirdly stuffed together, or just plain missing. And...

Well, and hyperbolic.

There shouldn't be a difference, the characters should define and direct the plot and the plot should challenge and grow the characters. A story is about people undergoing challenge and how they grow and change and adapt. The plot matters because it's happening to the characters, and we watch...

None of those, because I already have some in mind and none of them are up there. Seriously, you don't even have cat on there!

Well I don't think it's quite as you've described for me. I don't really envision my ideas as coming from any place in particular or being made anywhere, usually they come about as I'm dissociating from some monotonous task by distracting myself with stories. That said, sometimes in those...
