Oh, yeah, oops. Yeah, that was the original name. It was far too similar to Voidbringer, which was not something I wanted XD.

Maybe I’ll do that…

I’ll add a couple tags.

And you guys feel free to ignore this if you’re not interested.

Oh, yeah!! Ofc.

I have a few, but I’ll share the one that’s the most complete.

Also, I’ll note that a lot of this magic system was literally created last week, but several ideas date back quite far.

The magic system doesn’t actually have a name yet… (I guess I should probably figure that out lol).

A Conduit is the…[Read more]

That’s fair, though it doesn’t need to be a full fledged language for things like fantasy. Just enough to have an extra aspect of your world. Brandon Sanderson doesn’t put too much stress on it, just alluding to different concepts in the languages he doesn’t care to explore. I really like to make them though, there’s another dimension of…[Read more]

Although Critiques is also a good one to go on for particularly, well, critiquing your writing.

A conlang is a Constructed Language. A language that is made by one or a few people for some purpose. Tolkien popularized conlanging for things like fantasy.

@jonas

Just so I know, where would the best place on the forum be for that? I’m stilling getting used to everything.

Hmmm, there’s actually quite a few places. You can go through the General Writing Discussions page, and look through the most active forums, like the Place to Share… is one, but I would probably make my own on General Writing D…[Read more]

@jonas

Creating a new thread is probably the easiest method.

With Dynamism, it will either be the same direction as the original object or the direction of the user’s choice. My decision will probably be based on balance. I would say Dynamism is probably the most powerful ability, so it might make sense to give it that limitation.

That makes sense, I would lean towards the limitation as well. It m…[Read more]

@jonas

Do you need help figuring out images?? It had me stumped for a while, too.

@jonas

Wow, that is a very interesting system. I think I get it, but that might be the most technical magic system I’ve ever seen. I like how it seems that you’re basically inventing your own science for your world.

Thanks! That is basically the idea, all conventional physics I threw out the window, not to be replaced by absurdity, but simpl…[Read more]

@lydibug

Hi there!

Zeke sounds so cute! I love it! 😍

@jonas

Ok, now for yours, these sound like really fun magic systems! I can definitely see the Sandersonisms, but they’re still definitely their own thing.

The Crystal magic system reminds me a bit of my own, as it is about crystalline structures manipulating fundamental aspects of reality. I do have a question on Dynamism though, when kinetic…[Read more]

@jonas

Oh, really?? Ok, I guess it’s 15.

@jonas

Bumbling Henchman= less that 20 posts

Charismatic Rebel= 20-85 posts

Wise Jester= 100-200 posts

I don’t remember what’s next.

Knight in Shining Armor= 300-1000 posts

Eccentric Mentor= 2000-3000 posts

Chosen One= 3000+ posts

@thearcaneaxiom

Cool!! This all seems very well thought out!!

@highscribeofaetherium @jonas

I actually started a magic system forum a while back, but it fizzled out.

Personally, I’m very much a hard magic system kind of guy. As to the magic system of my and my sister’s universe, I’ve found it hard to properly approach in explanation, because there’s so many different layers to it, and when I try to explain…[Read more]

Welcome to Kingdom Pen!! I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, fiction-writing, God-loving, teen girl!

Time for some questions!

1. Who’s your favorite character to write? Why?/What are they like?

2. Who’s your favorite character from either a movie/tv show or book/series?

3. If you c…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

No not really, but I’ve heard of both of them before. It sounds like you’d recommend them…?

@godlyfantasy12

There are a couple things that have helped me in situations like this.

First, try to mentally plot backwards. You don’t have to write stuff out or make an outline, unless you think that will help you more. But start at one point, somewhere in the middle or even the end and work backwards. How did they make it here? What did t…[Read more]

@jonas

My favorite fantasy concept would probably be something from Sanderson’s work. I think the whole background of the Cosmere is really cool.

I agree, I’m not sure what specifically I would choose, but Sanderson really has master the art of creating a good mechanic in both worldbuilding and character.

my favorite one I’ve come up with is pro…
