You’ve done it again… my brain is broken 😂

From what I understand, that sounds like a cool idea, though!

@thearcaneaxiom That’s definitely an interesting idea. I’m having a bit of a hard time imagining what it would be like, based only on math, but I get the idea of it. It could probably be really cool. What is Russel’s paradox?

@thearcaneaxiom I wouldn’t call it a multiverse, because it is all contained in one universe, but no, Earth won’t be in it. It’s more of a “replacement” of the universe that actually exists. As for the theological aspects, I’m probably going to do something similar to what Tolkien did, in that, while it will be clear the God exists in this univer…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom
Yes, I suppose that I might to some extent have/do something like that. I probably would just use it to have a naming convention for things though.

@thearcaneaxiom

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).

Conduits:

A Conduit is the…[Read more]

Okay I looked it up.
I would love to be able to create an entire language, but I don’t have the skills or knowledge. I am impressed by authors who make their own languages, but I don’ think I would want to spend the time doing it.

@thearcaneaxiom
I don’t know what a conlang is.

@thearcaneaxiom

 

I would love to hear anything about it whenever your willing to talk about it!

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

@thearcaneaxiom

Great question! The Silence and Lanusel are independent of one another…

Okay. I guess I see how that works.

Yeah, it’s a real word. It basically means someone who is talented far beyond what is considered normal in some particular thing.

Huh. That makes sense. I never heard it before.

@thearcaneaxiom

Another reason I would have to give Dynamism that limitation is that they could use it to effortlessly reverse an object’s direction. If someone threw a rock at them, they could just touch the rock as it is flying towards them, absorb the kinetic energy, and infuse it in the other direction. If it had to be the same direction, t…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

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.

I am actually unfamiliar with Avatar. They have a c…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom Oh wait, does Lanusel only work when speaking the Silence? That would answer my first question, but even if they had to be heard by everyone, wouldn’t they still want to use the Silence to speak Lanusel, since it is so powerful?

@thearcaneaxiom 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.

What I’m wondering is, if people stopped speaking the Silence because everybody could overhear them, why did that mean t…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

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

@thearcaneaxiom
Just realized I missed one of your questions.
I would say I do hard world-building. I like everything to be well-defined.

@thearcaneaxiom here is the post. The one I was referring to is the first one.

@thearcaneaxiom

Those are hard questions!

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

my favorite one I’ve come up with is probably one of my magic systems. I don’t think I’ve invented anything super impressive. (I’ll tag you in the magic systems p…[Read more]
