I'm just starting to read this, and will re-read and re-comment again, but in the meantime, I'm fascinated with the ores and the overall voice here! Welcome to the Citadel, clyde. Go to Comment

The write-up is clear and to-the-point. I also like how this system of magic relates to genes and ores in real life. Go to Comment

Oooh, there you are Murometz.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, and as for the ores and such, I'll be writing up a more detailed account on them, as well as a number of the various types. Thank you for the warm welcome too, I appreciate it. Go to Comment

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I'm glad you like the idea.
With this, I wanted to create a back-bone explanation for how magic comes about in a way that came across as being a little more scientific, as I think it creates some depth and realism to the system itself. The magic that resembles genes was my way of doing that. As for the ores, I implemented that in as to create contrast between above-ground dwellers (such as more elven or human-like civilization) and below-ground dwellers (such as dwarven civilizations), as well as to tie in the forging of magical items in a consistent manner with more than imbuing or similar methods. Lastly, I believe the gene-related magic and ore-related magic will make for some interestingly diverse sub-cultures that vary from place to place. Go to Comment

Thank you very much Strolen, ahah. I'm really glad you like the ideas and concepts I'm working with. The very next thing I'll be working on is the various Disciplines in Magick, as in the broad categories in which various creatures or races make use of these two main sources of Magick available. After that, it'll be broken down into areas of those Disciplines, such as the practices. This will include destructive type magick, restorative, and so forth, each tailored to the Discipline itself, with a few common themes throughout, and a few only specific to each discipline.

Oh yes, the concepts will become clear as more information comes out. I'm glad you're interested.

The bold words were actually to primarily highlight each topic within the text, making it easier to find where certain information is. That being said, they are topics that are to be gone over, so these topics will be gone further into detail with. Go to Comment
