K Sweet. It may make more sense to have greater temporal distance between the calamitous war and Georgia's exploration, though I'm not sure exactly how to work that in. Maybe Davies studied records of the Abrian tongue and always wished he could go there? Also do any earth species get onto Abr...

new idea! (sorry for spamming this ever so slightly) So I was thinking it odd how fire and water are generally considered natural opposites when earth and fire just seemed a nicer fit to me. However, making earth and fire opposites left a gap in what the opposite of water could be. My thought...

Maybe water could be equated with time

Maybe we could eschew the process thingy for elements if it doesn't work out nicely and instead give them two adjectivy properties which govern what their magic does. This would yield something like what I had originally, but we could replace sturdy/weak with something more interesting. Do you...

Treasures of the Abr Rhas? Also I'm thinking that Abr could mean "Denizens". So we would be the Abr Earth

The element names/physical forms would represent processes, not be processes in themselves, so while water certainly isn't a process, it nicely represents the process of, say, erosion. I like your idea of introducing a third thing that gets created and destroyed, as that would make the system a...

As for elements, my idea so far: Each element, rather than representing a constituent of reality (like the classical elements do) represents a process and two aspects of that process. For example, fire represents the process of conversion and the aspects of mass destruction and energy...

Elementally charged foci are just shaped to draw their respective element whenever the ethr is channeled. A staff of fire, which is fire-charged, will enhance fire effects (by drawing more fire) or modify the effects of other elements to make them more fiery.

*Magical unpredictability manifests itself in a few ways. Firstly, spells have an increased tendency to backFire. Secondly, spells are harder to aim. They move from being single-target to being aoe to affecting everything on the screen. Lastly, the exact effect becomes random or commingled. Fire...

Actually, what the hell. Here's my sketch of the magic system: On Rhas, works of magic are done by channeling the ethr. The ethr is essentially a cloud of potential energy enveloping the planet, presumably set up by the Abr as a kind of global power network. Energy is completely inert while it...

Mysteries of (the) Abr Rhas
