One idea for a magic system that’s been banging around in my head for a while now, but I haven’t quite been able to figure it out is a paradox magic system. I’m specifically thinking of things like russels paradox. Imagine a magic system that is in some way analogues to the principles of set theory. It is a perfectly consistent system, where if…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Love it! It’s a solid, straight forward system. I agree with Jonas’ assessment, though perhaps there are more creative ways of exploring that other than just making it a higher rank. Like what if they are the analogues of the previous two simply expressed by a different people, race, gender, ect. Or perhaps the Soulbinders…[Read more]

@jonas

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]

@jonas

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]

@freedomwriter76

I was asking because Vision was in it, so does that mean he didn’t die???

I’m super excited if he didn’t

And him and Wanda can start a family… and she’ll be so much happier then she is in all of my fanfics XD

@jonas

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

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]

@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]

@freedomwriter76

Wait when does this book take place??

And also I love it, and I love Yelena and Wanda working together and Peter and Kate XD

@whalekeeper @calyhuge @godlyfantasy12 @keilah-h @euodia-vision @freedomwriter76 @anyone else

1. I love how you guys have all made it your job to heal Paxton like he’s your guy’s kid or something XD

mmmm, idk if we have an open room or not, heh, but he could also be added into a room, if you wanted.

I meannn, we have a room with, like, 4 people…

@keilah-h

Aww thanks, I haven’t seen the movie but I saw the quote online and I thought it was hilarious, and who could argue with that reason

thanks, I love this fic… it has all of my favorite Avengers in it as well… actually it doesn’t, we’re missing Steve and Nat XD

Yesss!!! she’s amazing and I can’t wait to see her in the thunderbolts…[Read more]

@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]

@everyone

Does anyone have a room for Nash?

Nash

Nash ran through the halls, searching for a certain someone. finally, he spotted her, and he slowed his footsteps. He quietly made his way to her locker, which she was in the middle of searching through.

He leaned against the other side of her locker and smirked. “What did you lose this…[Read more]

and also… are we still doing the dance thing?

*coughs* so where are we at? what class?

@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…
