What If Your Magic System Were Based On Boring Stuff?
We’ve all seen magic is science. And of course, magic is a feeling or superpower, but what else could your magic system be based on?
Magic is math.
Understanding 2+2 can get you a sparkler, but understanding calculus you can grow a tree, or create a fire breathing dragon.
Magic is painting.
If you can paint it, it can come to life. The more realistic it looks the more powerful it is and the longer it remains in the real world. The less life like it is the more it comes out like a messy sloppy dud, and it doesn’t remain in reality very long.
Magic is history.
Are you a walking historian factoid? The more history you know the better.
Can you tell us what year Napolean was born? Conjure up his hat. Can you tell us what he did for his fifteenth birthday? Conjure Napolean himself. Can you tell us the complete history of Napolean and his conquest? Conjure up Napolean’s army to fight at your command.
Facts become valuable. Especially rare facts. The more you know things that no one else knows the more powerful you are as a historian magic wielder.
Magic is sculpting.
If you can shape it, you can bring it to life. Very similar rules and ideas to painting.
Magic is sports.
Move over jocks. Playing magic ball is way beyond basketball. Fireballs are just the start. Your spin move shoots a tornado at the opposing team clearing the way for your glacier dunk. (We’re going to need a mop.)
Magic is animal training.
Animals used to be able to just play dead and rollover. Now you can train your dog to dig up the dead and your cat to breathe fire. The better you train your hamster, the more magical and powerful it becomes.
Magic is traveling.
The more places you’ve been to the more magical you are. Been to places that haven’t felt the footsteps of mankind before? Move over Voldemort.
Magic is archeology.
You dig stuff up and depending on how old and rare it is it carries with it magical properties. As long as you can carry a piece of it with you on your person it can make you more or less powerful.
Which magic system would you be?
Did you think of another good magic system idea?
