I do have a plot line kind of like that planned where someone is going from place to place and corrupting nature and stirring up trouble. I do like the idea of dropping the reward system. Maybe citizens aren't allowed to access the resources others have gathered and put towards the...

I didn't really have a question per se, I was just looking for people's thoughts and opinions. So far the story is a character that lives in a city setting is having a hard time finding a school of magic that works for them. They have a friend of the family or an uncle-like character that lives...

I would really like this to be a system that works pretty well overall. I'm definitely open to imperfections for some realism and conflict, but I don't want it to resemble much of the modern governing systems or economies. And I'm all for characters seeking to take down people abusing their...

I used to day dream about cartoon and anime style fights. But nowadays I occasionally slip into my universe for some daydreaming. It's kinda cool. I'm a little jealous, I've always wanted to get into lucid dreaming.

Hey hey that's not a bad idea! I'm sure I could weave the magic into that process somehow.

Hello! So I'm playing around with a "currency-less" society for my Connexa world. I'm thinking of making it a Technocratic Geniocracy. So the people in power will be in power because they are highly knowledgeable and accomplished in their respective fields. They would only be allowed to make...

I love your magic bees!

I've taken the opposite approach, and I don't have the same problems, but at the same time I kinda do. For me it becomes how would a planet of people who evolved with this renewable, non-polluting source of magic energy progress technologically? Look at the ways that humans in real life got...

I know what you mean. There are definitely times where not knowing how everything works can add to the story. I'm considering having some phenomena that's on the softer side of things, something (or things) that even as they develop more and more scientific knowledge they might still not be able...

I'm okay with people questioning character's logic and choices, I mostly wanna make sure that the logic of the magic system is sound, I don't want things to break down mechanically when it's examined in detail

When my friend and I decided to start writing together regularly, all I knew I wanted to do was to build my own magic system and fantasy world. So we sat down and brainstormed some stuff together, and I ran with ideas that I liked. I want to build a cohesive, coherent, well thought out magic...

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic right? That's the approach I'm attempting to take.

Thanks! I'll check it out! It doesn't look like Writer's Work is a place to post stories? Looks more like writing habits and encouragement to write

I disagree. I don't think you have to have a good side and a bad side to tell a good story. And sure, there could be plenty of philosophies of existence that aren't evil. And what do you mean "what then of science?" Are you implying that science is a philosophy of existence that is evil?

I use prompts to get the creativity flowing. If I'm feeling stuck when I'm working on something, I will sometimes switch to a different story, or do a prompt if I really need to do something fresh.
