  • whenever I’m reading a fantasy story, the one thing, more than anything else, that pulls me out of it and ruins the experience is a bad magic system. also, obviously, this is semi-satirical. i know that pokemon and football truly aren't magic systems. clearly, they're alchemy.

      That does make sense. The color pie has philosophy behind the elemental imagery and Magic. It is comparable to the alignments in Dungeons and Dragons. Red is chaotic. Black is evil. White is both lawful and good. Technically black is individualist and white is collectivist. That can approximate to evil and good respectively. The remaining colors have a whole new pair of opposites. Green is conservative. Blue is liberal.

      White can delve really deeply into Evil territory for the "Greater Good".
      Example: The village council from the movie Hot Fuzz.
      Black doesn't mind doing Good deeds, so long as it aligns with their interests, such as satisfying their ego.

      That being said, yeah MtG's color system ultimately aligns more as a 'how my values shape my magical tendencies' than anything even close to an element set.

    In Harry Potter it's actually stated canonically that you can perform magic without a wand, but most wizards use wands because it's much easier. Harry Potter, for example, didn't have a wand in many scenes where he did magic, such as when he made the glass vanish from existence or when he inflated his aunt into a balloon and made her fly off into space and suffocate from the lack of oxygen

    I hate the "darkness" element in a lot of fiction. Because its always got some of the weirdest shit featured in and none of of it actually relates to darkness. Ironically it also seems like the actual magic relating to darkness is so underused in their own "element" compared to random shit like poison and blood manipulation that it's hardly "darkness" at all. At that point it's just "evil shit we threw together because we're lazy"
    It's generally a pretty good gauge of a power system along with how they use pyromancy.

      In japan the work for "dark" is also a synonym for the word evil.
      Example: the word "dark" used in "dark-type" pokemon can also translate to "evil".
      So in manga and anime it makes sense that dark magic functions as evil magic.

    I have an idea for a magic system I'm making for my manga inspired comic series, its really complicated but basically you control this substance called ancestral energy which centers around the fact that everything in existence had a previous state of being and how it builds up over time. People who use it are called sorcery casters and the spells they use are called miracles. It also has like three main elements those being nature, mysticism and the cosmos. Nature is basically natural elements like fire, water and animals, mysticism is basically bringing man made things fictional or otherwise into reality like for example summoning a train or a dragon and cosmos centers on space and time making portals and is basically the most over powered of the three. They all come from these three chakra like cores in your body, nature is in the physical core located in the stomach and symbolic of our literal bodily connection with the planet, mysticism is located in the spiritual core which is in the heart and symbolic of mankinds religious and philosophical desires and inventions and cosmos is located in the mental core in the head and symbolic of us thinking about what our place is in the universe and our existential questions and anxieties outside of the world we know. I think its a pretty cool idea and idk if anyone has used this concept before, perhaps I'm the first.

      I believe everyone has something similar in their minds before writing. Your system is akin to my system, but the issue arises when you start writing and things get out of control. At that moment, you want to try to simplify things because everything seems so convenient, and in the end, you have a system with too many shortcomings and contradictions.

      @@migrak15 Yes, I do have a novel, and it's even using the same system that I mentioned is difficult to manage. I've tried making numerous modifications to simplify it and fit it into my story. I've stopped worrying as much about whether it will make sense before writing and have resolved problems as they arise; otherwise, I'd end up writing nothing. However, I can't send it to you because it's written in Spanish and currently only consists of 5 chapters (approximately 13,000 words). I plan to translate it into English, but since I usually make many changes, it would require writing twice the amount if I do so.
      On another note, there are several Discord servers with amateur writers sharing their stories. I recommend checking them out, although most have many spelling mistakes or significant issues with writing, and they often only have one or two chapters before abandoning their work. However, it's a good way to understand what kinds of beginnings can either bore or captivate you. Personally, I dislike heavy beginnings; I prefer something more serene and gradual, preferably with a touch of comedy at the start. Also, you can help by leaving feedback on their works, they are quite pleasant.
      When I translate some chapters, if you're still interested, I can come back to this comment and send them to you. I usually write for my friends, but if you'd like to read it, I don't have any issues, though it might be available by next month.

That kingdom is power-hungry country which is regularly at war with the others for more power, so quests in that country generally lead to raiding or destabilizing other countries for their resources. Another is based around using a slime as a familiar which casts the magic for you and can even bond with the user in different ways, like a melee character would bind itself with the slime like Venom with it being roleplay heavy and requiring them to keep the connection strong because the user doesn't know magic but becoming one with the familiar to hit things harder would change a person a little more. This country is more about growing and raising slime while also protecting itself from the other countries which just see slimes as a resource. Another one is my favorite which uses the slimes as fuel source after being purified and the process of that causes more slimes to be created but they are more aggressive which leads to why the current ruler actively hates them rather than just seeing them as a tool and as such doesn't care how cruel it might be. This does lead more to the techie classes, but that makes sense as the magic users are generally not welcome there, kinda magic-punk. The quests here are generally fight off the slimes and zombies, or hunt down the heretic shooting up slimes or bringing it in as a pet. the fourth one is the more futuristic one which taught the magic-punk how to make the fuel and is actually an amalgamation of sentient beings from the other 4 physical realms which may or may not be trying to escape how messed up they made their worlds in the process of becoming so advanced.

    Late comment but I've been planning on doing my own fantasy themed stories and one thing I wanted to figure out was the magic system and how it worked.
    So the magic system I came up with followed the theme of Nature. The nature of the planet, the nature of its people, the spiritual nature of things, etc. I made three forms of magic that embody this sort of thing which is Physical, Mental and Spiritual.
    Physical magic refers to the chemistry, biology and physics of the world and people itself, such as creating a ball of fire using friction in the air, using gravity and earth magic to get a chunk of rock to float in the air and launch it, or using water magic to physically control someone (which makes sense considering our bodies are 90% water).
    Mental magic touches more onto the Sci-Fi side of things but it's mainly about the mental and emotional stuff. For instance if one were to consider the planet itself as a living being, then one can assume natural occurrences such as volcanoes representing it's rage, rain as sadness, or plants growing being happiness. The people side of things (both your own and others) could be a third sense, psychonesis, brainwashing, emotional manipulation, foresight, etc. (I.e. detecting where objects or people are with your mind or controlling someone's emotions like giving them a confidence boost, calming them down or intentionally pissing them off, or see the future).
    Spiritual magic refers to the spiritual and cosmic side of things such as Light and Darkness (in the traditional good and evil sense), astral projection, communicating with ghosts, time and space manipulation, or even bringing someone back from the dead.
    Weaknesses and long time effects was also something I had to consider so I made it so that the effectiveness depends on the caster's wellbeing so physical magic for instance will be more powerful if the caster is more fit and healthy but weaker when they aren't. Such is the case for Mental magic which is the caster's mental well-being and Spiritual being on how strong their spirit is.
    Plus I ask added weaknesses based on external factors such as you can't use earth based magic if their is no earth in the area you're in, nor can you manipulate emotions if said user either has a strong will or the inability to feel anything.
    The last bit was long term effects so I can up with Magic Sickness which is caused by over-excessive magic and also depends on the type used so Physical magic results in the caster becoming fragile, weaker and more ill (to the point of throwing up blood), Mental magic can drive the user insane or even lobotomize them whilst spiritual magic affects their spirit which can either kill them (if they resurrected someone), corrupt them or lose their connection to the spirit world entirely.
    It's a work in progress and tons of fleshing out needs to be done such as it's history, how spells are casted, etc. But yeah, thats the magic system I'm planning on doing.
    (EDIT: Did some changes but I separated the time/space, light and dark magic from Spiritual and put it into its own school being Cosmic (Based on the Cosmic forces of our world so time and space concepts and light/dark not in the physical sense but cosmic sense, along with adding a 5th school being Pure Magic, aka Energy Manipulation, essentially manipulating energy to ones body, mind or soul. Also added a 6th hidden school called True Magic, normal magic still follows the rules of physics whilst True Magic is essentially the ability to change reality altogether but takes an extremely long time to do, so long that its outright impossible to accomplish within a regular lifespan and in my universe only one character was able to accomplish that due to being immortal).

      I forgot to mention I have two other additional types which are supposed to be basic to the cosmic, natural and mystical elements which are advanced. They're called release and divination, release is basically pure ancestral energy manipulation and divination has to do with the senses, they're basically used for martial arts attacks and unlike the three advanced types anyone can use them while you have to have an affinity for the cosmos, mysticism and nature if you want to use them. This is less of a magic system and more of a power system its inspire by anime and manga I like. Mine is a work in progress too I haven't even gone into the infinite number of miracle arts like the flame arts, water arts, space arts, artifact arts, chimera arts etc. I also have an idea for your system, couldn't you just call the cosmic school the celestial school and make it about using and combining all three of the first classes as well to get new powers like energy manipulation? You could also make the magic types more rare as you progress with physical being the most common all the way up to celestial which is the rarest. That would be pretty cool but hey its your system do whatever you want with it l'm just making suggestions, good luck!

      Gonna be honest bro, I can tell you've thought about this a lot, but this isn't the one chief. Well, if you're just writing for fun then go on lad do what you want! If you want a career writing however, this system really isn't gonna serve you any favours. Frankly it's fairly generic and unless it's backed by excellent writing (and I mean excellent writing), or isn't that important or noticeable in the world, its going to be boring.

      I actually ended up revising the whole thing, I still wanted to do the Physical, Mental and Spiritual aspects, along with the elemental stuff and the theme of nature so I decided to instead of it being a magic system, I remade it to be a hybrid of Magic and Chi.
      So as a result, a lot of the way things worked changed so instead of being three forms, I changed and split it into multiple versions to each reflect a different theme which I called Arts. The Arts made things a little easier as instead of having multiple things in one form, I had it separated so that in a way one Art can affect the other or used with the other, plus I themed them around the new Magic/Chi system and so far I have:
      *Body Arts* - The manipulation of energy to affect ones body such as physical enhancement, I.e. strength and defence.
      *Mind Arts* - The manipulation of energy to affect ones mind such as psychic abilities, I.e. Mind reading, telepathy, telekinesis, etc.
      *Soul Arts* - The manipulation of energy to affect ones soul such as spiritual abilities, I.e. Astral Projection, Soul Detection, Soul Enhancement, etc.
      *Elemental Arts* - The manipulation of the planet on a material level allowing one to manipulate or generate an element that resides in the planet such as Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, etc (the usually stuff)
      *Cosmic Arts* - The manipulation of the planet on a cosmic level so in other words Space and Time manipulation, along with Wish granting, however because of the OP nature of those abilities, I made it so that the ability of Space and Time is exclusive to certain tribes and not everyone. Creation and Destruction was something I also added as part of the Cosmic line up.
      *Divine Arts* - It’s essentially Light and Darkness.
      I only just realised when writing this comment that the new version sounds somewhat generic as well which made me realise something, I don’t think a magic system is even remotely possible to do without making it sound generic so I might consider just ditching it altogether.

    So you've probably heard this, but in Harry Potter wandless magic doesn't take a particularly powerful wizard to do, technically anyone can do it, the issue is the wand acts as a focus and gives a spell direction, Harry himself has cast spells without a wand, he just had very little control.
    The guy stirring his tea is doing something relatively small so he probably doesn't require a wand to focus his magic to simply move a spoon in a cup.

    I Appreciate either magic sytems that are complex but well explained and established while still being fun or magic systems where the author clearly went "fuck it" and just decided to do something fun. Both ends of the extreme can work well depending on the story, but the bad ones get caught somewhere between the middle, typically leaning more towards the complex side but with glaring plot holes.

    Mtg magic system has (almost) nothing to do with the elements. The colors represent philosophies. Red is aggression/passion, blue is knowledge/wisdom, green is natural order, white is law & order, black is typically selfishness/power at any cost.
    There are mages who do use elemental magic where they very roughly correspond to the colors you would expect. But the color system represents how those colors function in the card game itself. It’s much deeper & more interesting than “3 elements plus angels & skeletons”.
