Compelling system. I guess my head goes to a potential bit of slapstick in some cases with #5.

Oh man I had not considered that potential. Maybe I should write a short story or throw that side of it into the story.

Thanks for reading this! Means a lot.

I love fantasy. My favorite genre to read.

This is so well constructed and thought through. The limitations are particularly interesting, seeing as it will add a new set of stakes. I especially enjoy the difference between using a person’s Reservoir and Lifeforce, as well as the holding limit corresponding to age.

I am highly interested in this story now! This explanation solves so many problems that traditional hard magic systems cause.

Thank you! I’m also really curious how it will end up playing out as I write. Got some really fun ideas, and we will see if they seem realistic, and entertaining
