I want your honest opinions on my future novel magic system! Will you all help Kitty out?
Mana is the essence of life and the source of all magic in this world. Humans were descended from a certain race and were able to harness it from nature long ago. "Something" happened and, well, the humans were cut off from the magic pool or the world.
Because of this, they have to rely on artifacts made by god-like beings to harness it somewhat from nature.
Those who don't have artifacts or pureblood * nobles that descend from a certain race or have a pact with one of those god-like beings* can use magic but only with the use of the mana that is keeping their bodies running.
Basically, normal mages use up part of their lives to do spells or create items for people. That mana is limited too.
Normal spells use negligible amounts of mana, but bigger chaotic spells or item creation spells use years of their lives. They can never recover them once they're gone.
It also requires amounts/years of training to adequately use the mana, so slowly in this world magic users are going extinct.
Hm.... I don't even know if it is a system or a drain... I hope I explained myself well, sounded better in my brain... but everything sounds better there!
Anyway! Open for judgments or ideas to make this better!
*Yes, this is about an earlier thread where I asked for awesome ideas for magic subclasses for this story!* I kind of want to know what you guys think of this.
Forums have been too quiet... we need some creative juices spilling~
