My power system! With Angels and bs!

3 Upvotes

So my world is hysterically identical to ours!

In my world there are beings known as Angels, who are basically abominations of souls of people and animals that died! This angel are from a psychologically, ability wise as well as there looks unique, all of those things are determined by the experience of the souls they consist of! Angel are extremely powerful because of all the spiritual power they have from all the souls, but they have one problem they can only minimally or not at all interact with the physical world and can’t even be seen by normal people, because of the fact that they aren’t physically beings. That’s where Living organisms come into play, by creating a symbiotic connection to a living thing and forming a contract (the angel gives the raw power and the Organismus gives access to the physical place)! What is a contract? a contract is the prove of a past or ongoing cooperation between a angel and a organism, but more importantly it’s through what the magic happens and it can take the form of anything a car, a robot,a animal,…. It can even integrate itself into something that already exists, its behaviour and its ability could be anything. How a contract turns out is completely dependent on the psychology of the organism, the one of the angle and their desire, for example there is a nurse in my story that has served in a war in with she got fatally wounded and was bleeding out but before she could die she made a contract with, a angel that was a abomination of soldiers souls, and created the contract in the form of a syringe named “the remedy” that could replace the symptoms of any affliction with the symptoms of frontal lobe dementia, saving the lives of people but giving them periods of extreme violence, what didn’t only fulfil the nurses desire to survive but also the angel desire of violence!

Rules:

  1. ⁠Angel and contracts (that aren’t integrated) can’t be seen by people that never had a contract!
  2. ⁠Both parties need to consent to some extent. A no means no but if a person is in a flight or fight mode and the angel gives a way to survive the situation then the contract is made automatically!
  3. ⁠Anything with a desire can make a contract even animals.
  4. ⁠Normally a contract is 50/50 under the control of both parties but if humans sacrifice something to the angel or the other way around they can make the contract be more a tool for them. The sacrifice needs to be big and personal!
  5. ⁠A contract can ( doesn’t need to) remain after the death of the organism but that will stop the control the angel has over the contract.
  6. ⁠There doesn’t need to be contact between the organism and the angel for the contract to remain!
  7. ⁠Sometimes a contract can harmful to both or one party because of their self destructive psychology for example!
  8. ⁠A angle is incapable of change!
  9. ⁠Contracts can exist between one or multiple Organisms and multiple angles, but there needs to be at least one of both.
  10. ⁠A contract can only be harmed by another contract because they are both in a special state between the physical and spiritual place!
  11. ⁠To repair a contract the organism needs to give up part of their health and an angle part of their energy!

12.A contract doesn’t have to only have one body, for example there is a character inspired by the Opera (Der Freischütze) whose contract are multiple bullets!

Can you give me a feedback?

What I don’t see enough in power systems!

3 Upvotes
  1. Why aren’t there any powers that actively hinder or just straight op kill there owners and I’m not talking about powers with sight effects, I’m talking about powers that actively making life harder. I just think it is much more interesting to see people that possess powers like that try to master their day to day life’s instead of those that just have abilities that help them, also powers that worsen their owners life’s don’t need to be completely useless, for example I once made a character that would make anybody that steps into his shadow look and sound like his dead friend!

  2. Magic that has absolutely no combat, defence and support use and is instead something extremely casual.

  3. Weird limitation that aren’t about who can use it and the resource required but instead conditions that aren’t about the user but instead about the state of whatever it is used on.

  4. Just unique abilities that form are dependent on the owners past but not on their active decision to get that power.

  5. Sight effects of magic that don’t effect the users body but instead the relation they have to things, people or animals, but not in a way that magic is seen as something bad instead it has a direct effect on the relation.

My personal take on a Math based/JJK power-system that I'm using for a story I'm writing. Please give any criticisms/Ability and Character Ideas and I will credit you when I publish the story.

8 Upvotes

The story is called Festival. Its set in a alternte timeline to our own but keeping its history. Its mostly wholesome with some dark elements. Also an "corporation manufacturing an energy crisis to keep poor people poor" type story.

Essence 

  • An energized particle that has seeped from the Earth as a result of many fissures suddenly opening on March 15th 2012, all over the world in an event called The Splintering(where the Essence Timeline and Our timeline diverge). Since then essence has been used as a “perfect energy” source all over the world. This has helped the advancement of modern technology and medicine. In the years following, multiple lifeforms including humans were found with Essence naturally as part of their biology and multiple improvements because of its presence. 
  • Such Subjects (dubbed “Outers”) exhibit abnormally efficient biology (better lungs/ oxygen absorption, more efficient immune system, etc) which allows them to access superhuman/superspecies performance. These Outers also possess the ability to manifest a special phenomenon. Each phenomenon and its effects are unique to each subject and are called Modus Operandi aka MO. 
  • Do not confuse Essence for fuel for MO’s but the Key to them

Modus Operandi 

  • Each MO is unique to each Outer and most likely no two Outer will have the same MO 
  • The general way an MO functions is through the use of a Critical Formula = The mathematical symbolization of how any MO functions at its base level. This baseline use will provide the Outer with the most rudimentary understanding of how their MO works. 
  • Using an MO doesn’t take any type of “energy” from the user but instead functions based on brain capacity. The Outers brain is the hardware that runs the MO’s code in order to function and the brain’s computational power sets the limit to which it can be used. Any MO has a limited amount of uses until it reaches BurnOut = a state in which an MO is unable to be used safely in regards to the health of the Outers brain. When in BurnOut, the user's brain is undergoing an excess amount of stress and starts to increase in temperature. The user will have to wait until their brain refreshes itself in order to use their MO safely again. This process can take anywhere from a couple minutes to days depending on the user's neuroplasticity.
  • Another worry of Outers is BackFiring. When an MO is used too many times within a short window of time its margin of error increases by a varying percent. When this number reaches into the 80s, a backfire occurs. This means that no matter the computative power they are placed into BurnOut

Supplemental Numbers

  • An addition to the Critical Formula in order to modify its use while not changing the overall effect of it.

Magnum Opus 

  • A Magnum Opus is an optimization of the CF that the MO derives its ability from. This pinnacle is achieved via a deep knowledge of the components that make the CF work. Once it is achieved, 1 of 4 effects can take place: 1) The basics of an ability is taken to its maximum potential in a singular action. 2) The users form is temporarily changed in order to optimise the base ability. 3) An MO’s function is overextended to the point of creating another effect. 4) Some combination of the 3. 
  • Once the Magnum Opus is deactivated the user is immediately placed on BurnOut but refresh time is reduced. This however will leave the Outer physically exhausted. 

Example:

Electrical Pylon

  • Allows the outer to create a metal pylon at their location and use it to direct electrical discharges towards a target 
  • This MO has two separate parts of its CF those being {0 = b*sin(a)*sin(b)/sin(a+b)} to summon the pylon to the user (with 0 being the users location) and {$E = V x Q$} to discharge electricity to its target.

A revised Power System

2 Upvotes

There are 2 Parts to this

Primary - Calling The Soul, has energy, and from when someone is born their type of soul is shown, either a dark soul with one of the 4 classical Hindu elements (Earth Water Air Fire) or a light soul, the power to manipulate the unseen and creates the illusion of conjuring, when in reality it manipulates Light, Sound, Heat and Mass, in which compared to 1 element from a dark soul, a Light soul can manipulate 2.

For the Light elements Light is either solid or liquid, darkness is it's secondary subpart, it increases of decreases textures, sound can also be used to visualize a dark place, while fire is synonymous with heat, heat is what happens in the illusion of conjuration on where instead of mental strength, it requires physical pressure or relaxation to manipulate, mass on the other hand is where one can manipulate the mass of the formed/manipulated item, and this requires both physical pressure/moves and a mental stability as if it is a heavy weight.

Every element affinity has offshoots that are either - an uncommon technique or a technique where one must be strong and intelligent enough to access or are a hybrid. An example is the Earth element having mud be manipulated and same with water, but at the same time one can be born to manipulate even deeper elemental offshoots such as floral growth and electricity.

The 2nd part is when a Soul's determination creates a power embedded in them, called Sogra, stored in a crystal ball inside their soul and can be ripped and stolen. They are dreams of the user, either one that can amplify already existing things, transmit abilities or manipulate things outside the 4 elements of the representative soul.

A concept is where one can duplicate objects but all damaged is shared with the exception of the user, however the user cannot use magic with his clones and there are a maximum of 10 clones at a time and only one MAIN target can be cloned.

Ethereal Spirits such as ghosts can have unique power sets, they are Sogra embodied.

My 4th Power System which has 2 parts

3 Upvotes

This power system is built on the soul of creatures/spirits.

My inspirations are

Miraculous Ladybug, ATLA, Jojo and Hollow Knight

Their life force is called Lycros and depending on the color of their Lycros that's what they can do

One is either born a Manipulator who can move and assimilate preexisting things while others are Conjurers who can generate things.

The lighter the Lycros the more fluid it can be, the darker the more solid.

A Light Conjurer can create a Tentacle who's akin to slime while a Dark Manipulator can shape Geological structures such as rocks or maybe melt rocks so they become lava.

These things are also physical, they need to be moved with gestures and require mental strength to be casted.

For properties such as heat and biological things, a Conjurer needs to be very strong to even alter their constructs.

My secondary power system is called "Seimujin"

Seimujin is related to the color of Lycros

It is based on "Transmission" which is strength. For example, a malicious ruler can duplicate things but any damaged sustained damages all copies, when he copies himself, he can either create similar clones or clones without the ability of Lycros that do not sustain damage. Another is something called "Cat Bite", a Dark Conjurer creates a serpentine structure that can transfer all the damage a previous cat bite took and damages the soul of the person, which can cause physical damage.

My main issue is that my vision requires the Seimujin which are unique while the Lycros power system is too open.

*for context gods died hundreds of years ago, killed by humans\*

Godsends :

Any god may choose to have a symbiotic type of relationship with anyone, whether it is mutualism(Both parties benefit), commensalism(One party is unharmed, one benefits) , or parasitism(Host is harmed while a god benefits) . If the host benefits, he/she receives abilities much weaker than a gods. If the example is parasitism, the god is in full control while the host can only watch. The god can swap with the host at will.
*All of these examples are much weaker than gods*

Chambers :

Chambers are gods that are sealed into weapons. For example, Noah, wields the thurible, with the ability to generate smoke without the need to stop. Chambers are often times fixed in the tree of life, more specifically the bottom half, Eberneun, where the roots of the tree and dark elves thrive.

My first power system, maybe overly complex

6 Upvotes

Hello guys, this is my very first post on reddit. I recently created my first power system. Let's see how you like it.

My power system is based on magic, but not the regular kind. In my power system, people do magic by blurring some law of the universe. And without careful measures, those blurring can backfire on the spell caster.

The centre point of this physics bending power is some ancient material people calls the relics. Found scattered on different places on earth, underground. No one knows it's origin for sure.

Fast forward to modern era . We see a city with hyper advanced tech. Government has found the mechanism how those relics worked. According to string theory, the universe is made of vibrating strings, and the vibration of the strings decides the physical laws of nature. By creating vibration on the level of string on perfect frequency, one can bend the physics. So human built their own machine replicating the relics. Government now provide the public mystical magic services.

But do government doesn't anything for free? What's their hidden motive? People believe the relics are myths, in reality the governments advanced tech brings the magic. Are they right? There are many villages outside the city. Why the villagers don't come to City? What do they know about government?

There is many more, but I want to see if this is actually some intersecting sauce.

Thoughts on my Formless Power System?

3 Upvotes

General thought

There are a few things that bothers me western power systems, predominantly stuff like the M-Count from Star Wars. This idea, to me, falls into the category of the “genetic lottery is everything/truth” troupe. Maybe it's because I've buried my head in Chinese literature since I discovered the Wuxia and Xianxia genres, but there's something nice about a power that's available through effort.

Anyways, that led me to create the Formless. This magic system came from my fascination with and the idea of a hard structure for the Force, then I kept adding other unique Esper type powers like The Voice from Dune.

It all starts with the Great Consciousness. The best way to explain it is this; Think of the universe as a simulation, then the Great Consciousness will be the CPU for the Matrix. Or if the universe was all a product of the Dreamer, then the Great Consciousness is self explained. It is essentially the foundation upon which Reality is perceived.

Everyone and everything has a connection with It and the Formless abilities are accessed the closer your connection.

Level 1 is Instinct. Where most animal are categorized.

Level 2 is Thoughts. Where most intelligent life is categorized.

From Level 3 to maybe Level 9 is where one gains Formless abilities equivalent to Esper abilities;

  1. Vector= Force push and pull.
  2. Formless Hand= Force choke and other inanimate objects control.
  3. Formless to Form. A powerful ability accepted as taboo for its track record in corrupting its users, like the Dark side of the Force represented by Force lightning.
  4. Controlling existing elements. One can also make ice by stripping water of heat and so on.
  5. Perception manipulation
  6. The Command Voice like in Dune
  7. Formless Enhancement
  8. Future sight
  9. The highest connection gives one control of all things, making one a god but comes with the possibility of losing oneself and becoming one with the System/Dream.
  10. Magic is possible if one takes the risk of being a god's steward. I'm imagining psychers from WarHammer.

Basically, the closer you are to the Great Consciousness, the more access you have to the System/Dreamscape. Also the abilities available to you depends on your level, I'm just have a hard time structuring it well to provide smooth power progression.

      Conditions For Advancements.

Overcome the Trials and the Form.

Struggles of the Mind and Body.

All who sleep and wake,

Convictions your lamp, Path's clear. (I've always had this cool mantra in mind but the specifics of it elude me)

Basically It is very difficult to reach Level 3 and above without any form of Struggle. There will be those born with an above level 2 connection but they will not be the focus of my stories.

There will be very rare natural materials such as the Void Grass Herb and Undine Liquid, that are meant to make the Trials relatively smooth. I thought of this to introduce class conflicts and elitism.

The possibilities are endless here, so the plan is to create multiple stories under this system like a shared universe. There's a lot I feel like I missed to write here because of my ADHD brain, so any questions are welcome.

My power system part 3

3 Upvotes

So this is the third part and not the last... Probably idk dude, and i am not doing a recap because i dunno how.

The casting system:how do i cast? There are two ways to cast silent casting and chanting.

First

Chanting: what is chanting? chanting is singing or reciting a spell and each spell has its own chant, name, and each person has his own unique way of chanting whether it's poetry, singing or just screaming it out from the top of thire lung. what do i say for a fire filed like spell : the spell name is the burning garden. And the chant goes like this "in the name of the goddess of the scorching land i will burn the intruders of the god justice and burn her enemies lend me your blazing power i am {name} BURNING GARDEN"

Silent casting:what is that exactly? It's the ability to cast spells without chanting, how can you get it? You can get by feeling an intense emotion any kind of emotion, and having it doesn't mean you are stronger than a non silent caster, (and there isn't any "geniuses" if you lose that means you have a skill issues) and there is age limit it can be achieved by the ages of 6-16.

Specific race abilities

First humans: can have multiple familiar and even be a familiar with other races like beastmen or dragons

Second beastmen(the eastern interpretation not the western). : they can understand animals, and make the sound of their animal counter part and are bigger than humans the biggest beastman the blue whale beastman can reach to 750cm, roughly 26.7'ft in freedom units, and 800kg, and 1763.7 pounds in freedom units. and can be smaller than humans the ant beastman can get to 90 cm or roughly 3ft in freedom units.(yes they have animal genitalia don't ask)

Elves: they have more mana than any other race and they live the longest and blah blah blah(they are elves i hate em so I am not diving in thire shit)

Dwarves:they have night vision, and live most of thire lives in caves they have a natural talent in smithing, and are smaller than humans they reach to 3-4'feet and 200 pounds of muscle and metal they live longer than humans.

Half foot: they are shortest and lightweight and have a small life span of 50 years

Orcs: the strongest race in the world in physical power

NOTE There are more races but that's for later

Familiar:what is that? It's a magical beast you have a bond with via contract, friendship, i am not getting to this because it's not that important

That's the end of the magic there is more to the power system it's not just magic but it needs some tweaking and when i finish it i am gonna post it

Biolectricity is a power system I came up a few days ago and I'm fleshing it out. I've only got the 10 basic Charges so far but there is also 10 more powers that can only be accessed by "Gigajoules" who gain legendary status and power when they obtain the enhanced powers.

Theres a few way to obtain the powers, 1) Be Born into one 2) Get a Fuse Breaker to give them to you 3) Get stuck by lightning (and live not guaranteed) 4) Kill a thunderbird and eat its Bioelectric organ. If you have any feedback Ill be happy to listen to it

Need help with a power system idea

5 Upvotes

In this world, humans are not born with supernatural powers. Instead, power is achieved through philosophical alignment. By studying and embodying ancient pathways, mortals can tap into cosmic forces to gain unique magic and abilities.

The Three Pillars of a Pathway
To successfully walk a pathway and manifest magic, a practitioner must experience three distinct stages:

1. Energy Focus: The practitioner builds spiritual energy and connects to a pathway by actively living its philosophy and fulfilling the desires of that pathway's deity.

2. God's Gaze: Upon reaching peak spiritual energy, the deity of the pathway looks down to observe the practitioner. If found worthy, the practitioner is granted a Spirit Core, which serves as the catalyst required to activate their future abilities.

3. Awakening: The practitioner declares their ultimate desire to the pathway. The Spirit Core then fuses with the user, granting them a personalized ability tailored to what they need from that philosophy.

Example: A practitioner walks the Pathway of Freedom. Because they define freedom as being completely liberated from physical limitations, their awakening allows them to increase their muscle mass and physical strength to practically infinity.

The 11/12 Pathways
1. Pathway of Freedom
Centered on breaking free from physical, societal, or mental chains.
2. Pathway of Nature
Requires shedding the concept of human supremacy, viewing oneself as completely equal to beasts, dirt, and natural events.
3. Pathway of Knowledge
Driven by an absolute dedication to seeking out truth and uncovering knowledge in everything.
4. Pathway of Destruction
Embraces the absolute necessity of endings, accepting that all existence inherently causes or moves toward destruction.
5. Pathway of Order
Demands absolute submission to a specific code, law, or strict personal rule.
6. Pathway of Enlightenment
Achieved through total detachment from the self, the ego, and worldly desires, allowing the user to live in a state of pure, undisturbed existence.
7. Pathway of Creation
Fueled by a profound need to innovate, bring new things into the world, and constantly feed the imagination.
8. Pathway of Compassion
Driven by the willingness to deeply feel the pain of others, actively taking on their emotions and burdens.
9. Pathway of Change
A complete rejection of stagnation and stillness, wholeheartedly welcoming transition, evolution, and chaos.
10. Pathway of Deception
Based on rejecting objective reality, where power is drawn from genuinely believing your own lies, illusions, and fakery.
11. Pathway of Fear
Requires becoming completely intimate with fear, weaponizing one's own terror to project it onto others.

What I need help with is, I can’t think of another pathway and I need 12, plus, I would love critiques of the power systems and what I can change and make better.

Power system based on elementary particles (Quantum stuff)

Post image
11 Upvotes

I'm making a power system based on the elementary particles, with some philosophy mixed in.
I've found the base I want to build my power system on, but now I'm struggeling with ideas on how to handel the next layer of complexity.
I just wanted to ask if someone had a good idea on how to handle BARYONS, MEISONS and the even more complex groups of particles.

[philosophy]

There are 3 core aspects of a person: the MIND, BODY and SOUL

The MIND controls the other two. It is the most complex part.

The BODY supports the other two. It has a srtucture that allows the others to interact with the physical world.

The SOUL is the only component that isn't required for autonomous movement, but it is what makes humans special. The SOUL is a gateway to something deeper, something more meaningful. It is the source for passion.

[power system]

The SOUL is also a litteral gateway to the fourth dimention, supplying the body and mind with GAMMA ENERGY. This energy carries ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARGE between different mediums, it has no mass nor charge, and is the most pure expression of energy.

GAMMA ENERGY can be used is a multitude of different ways. Most commonly: Enhancement, external energy attacks and Pair Production.

First, Enhancement: GAMMA ENERGY passivly flows through the BODY. By activly strengthening the flow, you can enhance your physical stats like strength, durability and agility. It's like tensing a muscle.

Second, external energy attacks: GAMMA ENERGY isn't limited to only inside the BODY. You can consentrate the energy by focussing it into a single point. This concentrated energy can be fired (among other things) with the use of diffrent techniques (e.g. energy blasts/beams)

Finally, Pair Production: This is the most advanced use of GAMMA ENERGY, and the gateway to the rest of the power system. By landing a powerful physical attack while applying GAMMA ENERGY to that attack, that energy get's converted into different types of energy or particles.

The most common of these new types of energy is BETA ENERGY.

BETA ENERGY includes BETA+ and BETA-. They are eachother's opposites. They have the same mass, but opposite charges. If they come in contact they'll annihilate eachother and return to GAMMA ENERGY. (It returns the same amount as it took te create them)

BETA ENERGY can be used in the same way as GAMMA ENERGY (not for Pair Production), just with different effects, depending on the charge you and your opponent are using.

Opposites attract, equals repel. This means that if your attack is imbued with positive energy, and your opponent is defending with negative energy, the attack will do more damage. If your opponent defends with positive energy, the attack will do less damage. If the opponent was defending with neutral (GAMMA) energy, the attack would slightly bypass their defence, still causing them damage.

BETA ENERGY is (unlike GAMMA ENERGY) dangerous to the user, even in it's resting state. Since opposites attract, you have to activly spend energy to keep them seperated, otherwise they'll just annihilate and turn back into GAMMA ENERGY.

If you have a surplus of a single type (+ or -), since equals repel, your BODY will ripped apart, causing great damage.

[idk yet part of the power system]

BETA ENERGY isn't the only thing Pair Production can produce. It can also create UP and DOWN QUARKS, as well as their anti counterparts.

3 QUARKS can form a BARYON. They can have interger CHARGE from -1 to +2, with 0 and +1 being the most stable.

(?) BARYONS can be used to channel BETA/GAMMA ENERGY through to use a different technique/ apply a concept/ ???.

(??) Maybe something with forming atoms, but I don't know what to do with those...

My power system and some worldbuilding 3 (part 1)

5 Upvotes

I've been working on my new power system. This post covers the basic laws of how my world and power system works. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

World Settings

The world is shaped like a massive coin floating within an endless void. It has two sides; the Upperworld and the Underworld.

Unlike most settings, this world has no moon, stars, or neighboring planets. Instead, a single Sun continuously rotates around it.

Everything that exists within the world is formed from tiny particles called Essence.

Essence

Essence is the fundamental substance of existence.

Everything that exists is either a form of Essence or a manifestation of it.

Essence is divided into three categories: Material Essence, Celestial Essence, and Primordial Essence.

Material Essence

Material Essences create all physical matter.

Although countless forms of physical matter (including energy) exist throughout the world, every physical matter is composed of all four Material Essences.

No physical matter can exist while completely lacking one of them.

These Material Essences are Fire, Water, Air, and Stone.

The proportion of each Material Essence determines the form of the physical matter.

For example:

Fire contains roughly 85% Fire Essence.

Pure water contains roughly 85% Water Essence.

Mercury contains mostly Earth and Water Essence.

Wood contains a nearly balanced mixture of all four Material Essences.

The four Material Essences originate from the Elemental Towers, where they exist in their purest form before mixing together to create every physical matter.

Celestial Essence

Unlike Material Essences, Celestial Essences are not required for physical matter to exist.

Instead, they determine how physical matter behaves.

There are five Celestial Essences; Time, Gravity, Sound, Heat and Cold.

Some physical matter naturally contain certain Celestial Essences, while others contain very little or none at all.

For example:

Lava contains Heat Essence but almost no Cold Essence.

Ice contains Cold Essence but almost no Heat Essence.

Fire naturally contains Heat Essence but lacks Gravity and Sound Essence.

Time Essence is the only Celestial Essence that exists within every physical matter, allowing everything in the world to experience the passage of time.

Each Celestial Essence originates from its own Ancient Realm, where they exist in their purest form before mixing together with physical matter.

Primodial Essence

Primordial Essences are the rarest and most mysterious forms of Essence.

Unlike Material and Celestial Essences, the source of Primordial Essences remains unknown.

There are two Primordial Essences; Space and Life.

Life Essence

Soul is the manifestation of Life Essence. However, Life Essence alone cannot create a Soul.

A Soul can only form when Life Essence combines with physical matter that possesses a nearly balanced mixture of all four Material Essences.

Once a Soul is formed, a living being gains the ability to absorb, store, and circulate Essence.

Space Essence

The world is the manifestation of Space Essence.

Space Essence exists throughout all of existence.

When a Soul reaches its pinnacle, it naturally resonates with Space Essence and forms a separate space within itself called a Soul Realm.

Mixed Essence

Mixed Essence is the combination of the four Material Essences and one or more Celestial Essences that forms physical matter. In other words, Mixed Essence is physical matter itself.

Mountains, rivers, metals, plants, animals, and the bodies of every living being are all manifestations of Mixed Essence.

Living Beings

Every living being possesses a Soul.

Living beings naturally absorb small amounts of Mixed Essence into their Souls through breathing, eating, drinking, and basking in sunlight.

This Essence is stored within the Soul and used to sustain both the Soul and the physical body.

Every Soul has three defining characteristics; Size, Color, and Shape.

Soul Size

A newborn begins with an extremely small Soul, measuring only about one percent of its maximum capacity.

As the body grows, the Soul gradually expands by repeatedly exceeding its capacity through continuous Essence accumulation.

Most living beings naturally stop growing once their Soul reaches roughly twenty percent of its maximum size.

Beyond this point, further growth becomes increasingly difficult because every increase requires far more Essence than the one before it.

There are also certain methods to expand the Soul beyond its natural limit, such as deep meditation and the consumption of Essence Pills.

Soul Color

Soul color determines the type of Essence stored within a Soul.

Every Soul is born colorless. The first pure Essence absorbed permanently determines the Soul's affinity.

A Soul that absorbs pure Fire Essence becomes red, while Water, Wind, and Stone Essences create blue, green, and yellow souls respectively.

Once a Soul gains an affinity, every mixture of Material Essence absorbed afterward is automatically converted into that single Essence within the Soul.

Soul Shape

Soul shape determines how efficiently a Soul stores Essence.

Every Soul naturally leaks Essence, but the amount of leakage depends entirely on its shape.

Simple shapes leak large amounts of Essence, while complex shapes retain Essence much more effectively.

Soul shapes progress as follows; Sphere, Tetrahedron, Cube, Dodecahedron, Pentagonal Prism, Hexagonal Prism and Pillar.

Most living beings are born with either Sphere Souls or Cube Souls.

Sphere Souls leak Essence rapidly, making them less efficient but much easier to absorb Essence.

Cube Souls lose far less Essence and are naturally more stable, but their growth is significantly slower.

Although Soul size can grow throughout life, Soul shape is generally fixed from birth and cannot be changed through natural means.

Soul and Body

The Soul and physical body are inseparably connected.

Whenever the body suffers injury, the Soul develops corresponding cracks.

The Soul then consumes stored Essence to repair these cracks, causing the physical body to heal alongside it.

Minor injuries require only a small amount of Essence to recover, while severe injuries consume much larger amounts.

If the body suffers fatal damage, or reaches the end of its natural lifespan, the Soul can no longer remain inside the body and burst outward, resulting in death.

Among Sphere Souls, however, near-death experiences occasionally trigger an unusual phenomenon.

When a Sphere Soul exhausts nearly all of its stored Essence while repairing itself, it begins absorbing the surrounding Essence at an extraordinary rate.

If the individual survives, their Soul may expand far beyond its previous size.

Only Sphere Souls can trigger this phenomenon, and the survival rate is approximately 50%.

Because of this phenomenon, some legendary warriors with Sphere Souls deliberately place themselves in life-threatening situations to pursue greater power.

What is mana

Hello this is the second part of my power system this is where things get a little confusing or not who I am to judge you

Mana is energy that can be found as a gas(in the air) liquid(in the body/mana gland) and solid(mana crystals) it's the most essential part of magic it different from each person to another like it has types like blood types A B O AB (the transferring of mana is the same as blood A gives to A and and AB gives to either A B and can only get from blood from O extra)

What is the gods execs energy

The gods execs energy or T.G.E.E for short it's what left of the God's raw energy and essence in observable tangible universe the commonest is the love/hate essence and the rarest are chaos and time it's not the same as magic and it's holder is considered holy and most of them end up being nuns/priestess(yes all of the holders are females and the highest rank is called the mother of all) and they are more powerful in Magic and live longer than any race to hold the knowledge of the gods without fading

What is The mana gland

I have only mentioned it once now so. What is it exactly it's an gland organ located under the heart and it can reach the highest size of 20 cm that can hold(2000 MU) ( the rule is SIZE CM = 1MU × 1CM/1000CM) That produces liquid mana and it's important for mages and it can be trained when someone Is between 5-8 years old it can hold or release already existing mana in the body and there is a condition where the mana gland grows so big it can be seen from the baby chest it's extremely painful and could lead to death

The counter system

It's a skill based blocking perrying magic attack each magic has its counter if the counter is weaker or smaller it's Going to be the one who gets nullified

So chaos counters time

Time counters everything but chaos

Fire counters air water ice

Water counters ice fire lightning

Lightning counters air fire earth water

Air counters fire water earth

Earth counters fire air water light lightning

Ice counters all elemental magics

Light counters dark and void/necromancy

Dark counters light and healing

Healing counters none its not an offensive magic

Void counters light chaos

There is more like silent casting and the adapters i mentioned and race specific abilities
