Mythic FAte A JRPG/Magic Systems

DISCLAIMER

I couldn't figure out how the talk fuction worked, so this is only a workspace. Nothing in here is part of the game.

Llayne's Thoughts

If felt like some of the elements might be unbalanced but I couldn't put my finger on it. I work better if I can see things in front of me, so I set up a 'talk' page to hash things out.

As written, Earth for JRPG covers rock/dirt, metal, crystal and plants. Earth for HFM only covers rock/dirt. Typo? As written, Earth for JRPG dos only cover rock/dirt, it belongs to the trio for growth because of the fact it induces growth in the listed things (at least in medieval alchemy)

JRPG

Physical elements

Fire Water Air Earth Metal Wood/Nature Racial Elements

Illusion Poison Communication Strength/Empowering Lightning/Energy Beast Ephemeral Elements

Sight Death Teleport Transform Mind Healing/life Summons Gaining a summon costs an aspect and is build as a Supporting NPC with the following traits

high concept, a trouble, one more aspect One stunt 1 good skill 1 fair skill and 2 average skills 2 + relevant skill stress boxes 1 mild and 1 moderate consequence

The Trio of Truth Fire, Illusion and Sight Now illusion and sights relation to truth are simple Illusion is hiding and creating false truth and sight is the ability to see truths. Fire's relation to truth is more symbolic, fire burns both barriers to truth and evidence of truth, It warms like comforting facts and hurts like a hash thoughtless truth.

The Trio of Equilibrium Water is equilibrium as it settles and is calm but the smallest of changes causes massive changes in behaviour, Poison is what at it heart disrupts the equilibrium of the body and mind and finally... death the total equilibrium of body and the balance of the cycle of souls.

The Trio of Movement The simplest as Air is the movement of wind and what it carries, communication the movement of knowledge and emotion and teleportation is the fastest movement of substance.

The Trio of Growth/Change Earth is the source of growth and change for plant, metals and crystals. Where as strengthening is the growth and change of the body and... is about making objects stronger or weaker but keaping them the same thing. includes aspects of growth transmutation the change and growth of physical objects. whlich can also change living things but can also change inanimate objects too. more about changing the shape, size, or type of an object. Totally turn people into frogs and tables magic, but also allice in wonderland magic. It is also like sumon or giving traits annoyingly temporary bu again masters of magic can make it permanent.

The Trio of Power Metal is the power of the gear and machine [Addendum: Includes the power of tools, weapons and armour] , summoning and upgrading weapons and machines, animating shield and weapons. also can totally use it to crate lumps of raw metal or simply shaped metal. summoning machines they come with a basic amount of fuel/gunpowder/consummables. laoed and ready to go. mystic arts also exists which are magically enhanced uses of skill which can be used to emulate some spells and to eAutometen upgrade stunt is not limited to what is norally possible with the currently available technologies. Lightning/energy is the rawest expression of the power of the world and the mind is the most powerful mover and holder of true power.

The Trio of Relationship Nature is the interconnected complex relationship of the forest, field and other bodies of plants, fungi, algae, lichens, ecosystem summon and control, still arguably might be used to heal plants, healing herbs to help promote normal healing skill rolls? Can modify plants with new traits/give caster plant traits

Beast is the relationship of person and beast and... summon/call/control animals. less likely to be able to heal, and can't heal folk. Can modify aniamals with new traits/ give caster animal traits

Life is the intimate relationship of parts of a living thing. healing magic of the setting, heal anything alive, control any weird lving thing summon life, bring some semblance of life to non-living things and magically emulate missing parts (pinocchio) Finally give new traits to any living thing, if you want to control people that's mind, unless you're doing body control which case it might be life.

• note giving traits will these skills is normally a temporary change for most mages, but can be made more permanent by more experience and powerful mages.

• summoned ojbects and properties by default are temporary and aremade of pure mana, but like traits can bemade permanent/real and it is easier to so then by changing something.
