My magic has a level and element system, the elements are more powerful then any other non magic like blood magic is strong but the pure water magic will soundly defeat blood magic even if it is a part of water in a way. The level goes to five and the color changes the more levels you go up.
  • Elements, Fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, and the two elements that are good against each other is, Abyss, and Holy
  • level one is normal color
  • Level two green
  • Level three purple
  • Level four red
  • Level five blue if trained to get the skill, black if you are born with the aptitude or go through a scarring experience, you will need to have already have level five with the element to get the black color.
  • Black is stronger then blue
The levels of the spell gets more intense.
Emotions are another big thing like lightning is ruled by fear which empowers the spell unlocking its next level.
While fire is anger




I wonder if anyone like my system or has a similar one

Since my stories are mainly comedy, I dont go heavy into magic systems. I know how to make pretty intricate and complicated ones from examples of other authors, but i find that kinda a waste on my usual stories and fighting isnt a big part of them anyway.

But yeah that system sounds simple and good. Just gotta define what constitutes each level.

For example, the difference between a lvl 1 and a lvl 2 is being able to manifest the element outside your body, or some such thing. Maybe the scale and control of the element also are factors.

Such as, light being simple to activate, but being able to create illusions by bending your light in certain ways requiring great mastery over the element. I think fire and its heat can do similar things, due to how heat itself bends light? So that can be a thing. Elements being able to overlap in certain cases depending on your level of control.

Ah, but im rambling. Anyway, imma go.

what do you mean, explain it more or....
I mean, open up "Discussion & Writing Tips." Then you click on a button post thread. You proceed to name it something like: "what is your opinion on my magic system." After you did name the thread, you start describing your magic system. You do it without fearing spoilers. Which means you spoil everything. Everything that you have, your drafts, and thoughts about your magic system. That way, people would be able to help you much more efficiently.

as long as you are satisfied with it, and think it's logical, then that is enough. because you are writing your world's magical system, not someone's.

just don't randomly change it later, or make any mistake in remembering it, because that will make it the worst. otherwise, just go proudly showing off the system in every chance you get, that's what most authors do.

you start watching an anime, or movie, with some special powers, you start analyzing their origin, and the movie ends with nothing told about it, but you don't complain. why? because it is the setting. just don't contradict yourself, that's all. and if anyone asks about the reasonability of what happening, tell him that this is a world of fiction.

Without any knowledge of your story, all I can say is to make sure there is a clear difference between each "level", not just 2>1. Else you'll just suffer from the problem a lot of Xianxia have, the scaling system solely existing to make the protagonist look good.
"Omg his level 1 spell is as good as a level 2 spell!"

I think your system is good simple and to the point. Last time I tried making a magic system I was doing particle physics, only to give up and abandon it a couple of months later. As long as you don’t do that, your fine!
There are many schools of thought on the use of magic energy, but they all have one thing in common, that being the release and/or the manipulation of magic energy. This energy can be found anywhere. Active magic energy is a fundamental particle similar to a photon. This energy is measured in magic energy units or meu. 1 meu is equivalent to the amount of stored magic energy in 1 atom of hydrogen subtracted by the Lgr of one atom of hydrogen.Each element, molecule, etc. varies in the amount of meu that they can store. For instance the Katstandum mineral contains 1.6 x 10^65 more meu per square centimeter than any other naturally occurring mineral. Magic energy can be manipulated by thoughts, runes, and gods.

There are three states that magic energy can be in. Those being the neutral state, the stored state, and the active state. The most common is its neutral state. The neutral state of magic energy is the most stable. Neutral magic energy does not react with anything. Neutral magic energy naturally decays from and is absorbed by every element at a constant rate, this is called the stability principle of magic energy. This is measured by the loss-gain rate or Lgr. Lgr can be found by adding the amount of meu absorbed by the amount of meu lost in a nano second. Lgr varies from substance to substance. Neutral magic energy can not be transformed into the active state directly.
The second state of magic energy is the stored state. Neutral magic energy transforms into this state when it is absorbed by a substance. Neutral magic energy is able to be transformed into active magic energy. There are four known ways for stored magic energy to be transformed into active magic energy. The first is by causing a change in energy higher than the Garry constant (Lgr/Meu x 6.4587 x 10^27). The second is through chemical reactions. The third is through a runic circuit. The fourth way is through magic energy cascade or mec. Mec happens when 1 meu of stored magic energy comes in contact with 9.32 x 10^42 meu active magic energy.
Active magic energy is extremely volatile. Active magic energy depending on its frequency of vibration, may cause changes in kinetic energy, change the force of gravity, temporarily create matter, destroy chemical bonds, transmute elements, reverse time within a certain area, manipulate vectors, change the shape of an object, change the magnetic field of an object, calculate the current and future directions of matter, manipulate the fabric of space, connect various dimensions, ect. After 3.6 x10^1 nanoseconds, .001 meu active magic energy is transformed into either stored or neutral magic energy.
Most animals, and some other living organisms, produce calcium carbon tetrarentraciene, carbon sretoxide, carboatrovinypryunpxine, and/or carboxinwantrophide. When these chemicals are broken down by carbohydorxithropondeophignieposine, a hormone released by the me-glands, they will release winvrphem, unsompine, and/or drydropilioine into the blood. These will then be absorbed through the cell membranes of red blood and react with mena which will then transform stored magic energy into active magic energy, this active magic energy can then be manipulated by the organism. 1 unit of Magic Power is equivalent to Atomic mass 6.22 x 10^27 meu, that when converted into active magic energy can be manipulated into moving a 1kg object 1 meter in 1 second. The average human adult has .1 units of stored energy, while the highest recorded amount of stored energy that a human adult has had is 643,352,317,877.87 units.

Gr= +Column Number * Periodic Number Lr= -Row Number* Periodic Number
Lgr= Gr+Lr/10
State of matter Is 1^10 based on energy level example Plasma +1000

TL;DR: There are three types of magic energy, neutral, stored, and active. Neutral does nothing and is turned into stored energy. Stored energy can be turned into neutral energy through decay, or active energy through 4 methods, but does nothing. Active magic energy does all the cool shit and can be turned into both neutral and stored energy. 1 unit of stored power equals 1 Newton.

Types of magic:
*Domain
Summon
Transformation
Creation
Enhancements
*Runes
Psychic
Foresight
Manipulation
Transmutation
*Contracts
Energy manipulation
Cultivating

How they work:

Domain magic is an inherited magic. Domains can not be taught. Domain magic allows its user to have anywhere in between a slight influence to almost absolute control over something. The more control used in the domain the more stored power its user uses. In example, the most common domains will allow their user to nudge moving objects to the user's will. These domains allow their user slight control over velocity. Domains may also allow the user to create the subject of their control. These domains are called Origin Domains. The fire domain is an example of an Origin Domain, the fire domain allows its user to create flames by using stored power. Another type of domain is the Transmutation domain, these domains allow their users to turn one substance into another. This type of domain is the least common and uses the most stored power.

Magic Power is to Atomic mass 6.22 x 10^27 meu

In this world there are three magic fields, quite similar to our electromagnetic field. With these fields there are additional fundamental particles, the void boson, soul quarks, mana boson, and life quark. They are ordered by abundance, with void bosons being .637 times more abundant than soul particles, and being just as abundant as photons. The mana boson is just as abundant as life particles, and 6.378 times more abundant than electrons. These particles can have both electric charge and magic charge, but have no spin.
The first is the void boson. It is the most abundant of the magic particles, it has no mass, and a magic charge of -1 and no electric charge. The next particle is the soul particle. It is the heaviest of the magic particles. It has a mass of 2.768012238 X 10^-36 kilograms, it has a magic charge of -⅓ and an electric charge of 1. The mana particle is .013 times more abundant than life particles, no mass, a magic charge of 1, and an electric change of 0. The life particle weighs 2.08375209132 X 10^-39 kilograms, has a magic charge of ⅔, and an electric charge of +1.
These particles tend to group together with other magic particles. When they do they can form structures similar to protons and neutrons. These particles are manatrons, soultrons, and planetrons.
At the time, there were three main sets of runes. The first set is the elemental runes*, non-attributed runes, and the second are the blood runes*. The elemental runes can be further broken down into fire*, earth*, water, wood*, aether*, light, and dark runes. There were 5 basic fire runes, 9 basic earth runes, 1* basic water rune, 4 basic wood runes, 3* basic aether runes, 1 basic light rune, and 1 basic dark rune.

Not to my knowledge, but I think they will after the pandemic is under control… You studied right?

studied what? quantum magic ? or electronic runes?

cause I did not.
You at least remember how many small runes can be stacked before quantum tunneling makes a spell unstable. Right?

It seems kind boring to me. Why give non-elemental magic such a big disadvantage? Also the coloring different levels seems kinda stupid, since it would make the magics harder to tell apart at a glance, hence why video games don't use a system like that. Maybe different elements shifting color as they get more powerful. Like red flames getting hotter and turning more white, until they are finally blue at level 5.

well, I guess you have a point, usually non-elemental magic, is always weaker if its attribute-less, but more stronger if it's something like blood magic, holy magic, or even illusion magic, but it's not a big deal, we can get used to it for a single time only.

but about the coloring, well ......., yeah, there is no saving it. instead of giving all magic the same color, you might as well make them colorless, or instead make the mana of the caster having a color depending on his level, with the element begin different in color, and just like you said, making the color gradually grow in color is cool too.

but having the same color of all attribute ?? well, sorry, but I just can't accept that. that is just like erasing the meaning of having different attributes.

which is creating a unique character, but if all people have the magic of the same color, then how can we differentiate between the mc and the villain in a fight.

I think they just need to explain the coloring system a bit more. As well as if the magic is language, ritual, gesture based, etc. Also if possible, why elemental magic is stronger. (Does it last longer, cost less, the most beginner friendly, most destructive, etc
was it three ? no, no, don't tell me yet. it was seven, right ?



It’s 26, one rune for each letter in the Latin alphabet…

There was one little thing I forgot to mention, the elements use a more god power then human created element less magic, My book is dealing with Greek gods sooooo yeah
The color define it but the blast of the spell is more violent and bigger, Earth magic is used differently. if you were to summon a golem, the golem grows in size and has the grass veins glow the color the level it is summoned like five is a cold blue veins and the size is three stories tall compared to level one at the size of a tree.
