Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97217788Perhaps you should read the books where hes dropping fireballs every couple of days
>>97219181Yeah, it is quite simple.
>>97218076How about magic from belief? You have a priest who REALLY REALLY BELIEVES that he can banish a spirit, he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. Alternively, the belief could be a resource, ie a priest, wizard of godling has to convince a big enough group of people that their magic works, allowing it to happen. It could be cast using personal methods or a set formulae, but without the belief that it will work, it doesnt.It would lead to some interesting situations - a unbelieving scientist attempting a spell in a spellbook and nothing happens becasue he has no belief. A powerful wizard, priest or god could be reliant on the belief the people have in them - if the legend of the caster fades over time, their power fades or vanishes as well. It would give priest characters something to do than just heal, they would have to keep trying to generate belief in their particular god or brand of magic, while reducing the power of competing beliefs and religions. Building/destroying shrines and temples would aid one side or another, while a wandering wizard would encourage tales of mystery and wonder that spread from his adventures.
>>97221495>he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. That is a formula that one of its parts is belief. The formula doesn't need to be compromised by hard math to be a formula. A newts eye, the tear of a virgin, and the a true loves kiss combined breaking a curse, or casting Charm Person is still a formula even if two of the parts are not really tangible.
>>97217677Doesn't work well for tabletop RPGs, or rather requires tremendous effort on GMs side of things.Because for magic to actually deliver on the "mysterious" side of things it should be exceedingly weird and confusing. You, as a GM, would have to construct an exceedingly complex system of metaphysics and obfuscate it from the players. For there to be genuine mystery, there has to be substance, glimpses of larger workings, a feeling that there is some semblance to alien law/reason that still would completely elude the players minds.You as a DM basically have to make some odd Cultist Simulator magic system and keep it 90% hidden from the players, good fucking luck.So no, just making magic rare doesn't fucking cut it.

That wouldn't stop either group from seeing him bulked up when size-modified by biomancy, since that's a physical alteration and not just illusory glamour, but he definitely had a base body.

>>97210942BVILT FOR BIG BLOODTHIRSTER COCK
The emperor being immortal and responsible for humanity's progress since pre-history is spin written by a fanatical church. He wasn't 10 feet tall, the most powerful psyker ever etc. that's just how his legend has grown over the 10k years since he fell.Next you'll act like the primarchs were actually his "sons" and not just warlords he recruited and put in charge of the legions during the crusades. Probably with some obviously bullshit, overly complex backstory involving teleportation and time dilation to explain the hundreds of years difference in ages of some of them.

Making a goofy chess game, basically you're just doing puzzles for points with a streak multiplier like on a regular site, but for every three you get right in a row it lets you pick a single use card that can change the rules for one puzzle. If you use one it'll let you cook and try to beat the puzzle "under par" for multiplicative bonuses. I wanted to make chess Balatro but I only vaguely know what Balatro is. Kinda hard making the cards balanced and fun, but I did have a cool tactic with a "knights get pawn attacks" one, and my own minimum viable engine used the "Whoops! All knights!" one against me, so I think this could be neat with some more features.
