I wrote a magic system for a novel i was/ am working on. It was based on different civilisations having their own forms of independent magic, but as the ages past what those magical systems were became obscured or misinterpreted. So the Northern kingdoms didnt have wizards or mages, but priests, because they believed in a sort of holy magical power from their god. But in actuality, their magic was just compulsion. So thier priests were kinda deluding themselves inti thinking all that religious fervent was the cause when it was the priests themselves. . The guys in the deserts in the far east, everyone originally thinks their magical sense is like information transfer. But really their magic was summoning, unfortunately thousands of years ago, they started summoning spirits from another universe. And binding them in people. Those spirits eventually became "demons" body snatchers who when you kill them, they just transfer their consciousness to the next in line. In the south the jungle peoples have the ability to influence nature. Well, animals, and have used it for selective breeding for years. Now they ride giant spiders that spin glass threads. And the central guys believe they have no magic of their own. So they're creating one. Basically taking the fundamentals and building technology to either simulate or take advantage of that. But a later reveal is gonna be that they did originally have a magical system. And have somewhat slowly been rediscovering it just in ways it was never supposed to be used. Their system is necromantic. But instead of like sticking a soul in a dead body to reanimate it. Theyve been taking living people and sticking nature spirits into them in the same process. To make soldiers strong enough to go toe to toe with people who can wield magic. Its basically a breakdown of why military escalation is a bad idea.
Are these visual representations of the arcanum visible to the naked eye in world? Or perhaps they're only visible to those who have an exceptional arcane soul? I've always loved the idea of a natural/raw form for magic and the way it is depicted. I also just like the swoopy lines you painted lol
They are visible only when ones Arcane Soul is particularly potent. It's also visible at the height of casting very powerful magic and things of the like for a brief period of time. I was considering creating a spell that allows you to visually see someone else's Arcane Soul and in essence pin them as a caster or not based on its refinement.
Love the new pngtuber design! The swaying is very nice ❤ (I do think the hop is very jerky and disorientating though, but that's just my opinion on it)
@@ZagreusWinters a hop is pretty normal for pngtubers! I just thought maybe less intensity would be better for my eyeballs and adhd brain 😂👍 looking forward to your future work!
additional spell craft sounds like you're useless until you're 80 or older... were you going for that.. a small time frame to use your power because you'll die of old age. Or are they able.. just they haft to be old to be all-powerful?

I love this magic system I would love to use it in my game
Maybe one day you will! I plan on probably releasing the extensive write up in the future so the system can be of service to other people.
The intro bit of this video Exudes "From Software Character" Energy and I love it!

Very cool stuff ^^

I was testing the hop, I'll probably not be using it going forward but it was fun getting to see him in action! Glad you like him c:

I hear a lot of nothing actually.... I mean what's the tangency , what is the feel, what does it DO.
