@rae Reading your magic system was really interesting! I love it. I didn’t realize Chase and Baron were from the same world
@jonas That’s a cool system. So soulforging works on any metal object? Do you have any characters with enchanted jewelry then?
Your magic system sounds so so so cool! I absolutely love it!
If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient.
Aw thank you! 😊
Sure! (Don’t worry, I won’t plagiarize lol)
Okay, then, a crash course on Awakening it is! (Minor spoilers if anyone reading this happens to plan on reading Warbreaker.)
So, in the world of Warbreaker, every person is born with one Breath, which on its own doesn’t really do anything. However, you can give your Breath to someone else, at the cost of suffering some negative side effects, like becoming less healthy overall. With enough Breaths (as in a couple hundred), you can Awaken objects with a Command. However, you can’t just say any words and have them work. You need to use proper wording and have proper visualization of what you intend to happen, which makes some Commands more difficult and take more Breath. You can only awaken organic objects, that is, objects that were once alive (with enough Breath, it is possible to Awaken metal or stone, but that’s extremely rare), so for the most part, people Awaken things like cloth and rope. It’s also significantly easier to Awaken things that are humanoid in form–a piece of cloth cut into the shape of a person takes less Breath than another equally size piece of cloth. An Awakener can later recall their Breath from an object they’ve Awakened. Some Commands that are used are things like…
- “Hold things” (on rope)
- “Hold when thrown” (also on a rope)
- “Strangle things” (again on a rope)
- “Protect me” (on a cloak)
- “Fight for me as if you were me” (also on a cloak)
- “Fetch keys” (on a straw figure)
You can also Awaken bodies, which turns them into Lifeless. Lifeless can follow future Commands instead of just one given when they are Awakened.
That’s pretty much it. It might not be very helpful, but then again, it might be. Do with this information as you will.

📚 Appreciator of Books@jonas That’s a cool system. So soulforging works on any metal object? Do you have any characters with enchanted jewelry then?
Thanks!
Yes, it works on any metal. I haven’t completely decided yet, but metals might have varying properties that makes some better for certain things, but any metal could be Soulforged in some way. (Of course, then the trick becomes defining what a metal is. If you look at the periodic table, most of the elements are some sort of metal. Soulforging definitely works on all the transition metals in the middle of the periodic table, as well as alloys of those metals. It probably doesn’t work on alkili metals or alkiline earth metals, but I’m fuzzy about the post-transition metals.)
The planet that Soulforging is on (Oldonar) is one that I have very few characters and very little plot ideas for. However, jewelry is probably the most practical way to employ Soulforging, except maybe weapons, so a lot of people probably will. I think one character I do have uses Soulforged rings (those count as jewelry, right?) so I guess the answer to your question is, yes!

Thank you
And yes, they are both from the same universe. All my characters (except my historical fiction ones and of those the only one you might know is Robbie) are from the the same world.
