Yes, though I suspect mind control would very difficult, since humans are so odd. Big mood swings would be easier, by effecting neurotransmitter take up. Mhhh good point. Maybe there's a group of mages who are constantly believing that atoms stay together, and by their collective will and power, splitting the atom is so much harder than it would be normally. That's a thought. Trying to undo a spell by another wizard?

Yes lasers. I think yes to cybernetics, but keep in mind how dangerous infections can be. AR retinal interfaces or auditory adapters in the ear would be nifty as well.

That seems good for the level of isolation we have. Do we want other stations in the outer shell? I vote for yes, or at least a signifigent Pluto station.

Well, that's not very fast, especially compared to FTL. If humanity has even remotely colonized anything past mars, we should have a speed significantly beyond that. Where in the Solar system are we?

How fast are human ships top speed? Sub light, obviously, but we're still in the solar system right?

I should probably make a second one, since I've already sentenced Lucia to death.

Well, Mr. Murder Alien can have some, as a treat. But Humans shouldn't have much beyond like, slightly enhanced strength or will.

More or less. I haven't really considered how healing magic would work, but I assume it would need a lot of anatomy and chemistry.

The example PC, I guess. What do y'all think?

Agreed. If you wanna do more than like stare into each others eye, take it to PMs or whatever. What I'm envisioning is (In rough terms): In order to change reality, you need to understand the things than fuel it. You can't just say "Oh I want that thing to float!" you need to go into the gravitational equations that are effecting it, and change the variables. The farther you go from what's normal, the more magic it consumes, and the faster reality attempts to reassert itself. Small changes can have rippling effects, but mistakes and errors can have disastrous results, or simply fail to work.

We haven't done nearly enough worldbuilding to satisfy me

Tall, Dark, Stronger than you. Not a big leap. There's romance books about weirder things.

I vote College, cus than you can get a degree in Graviturgy, from the [INSERT NAME] School of gravitational studies. If we go for college, this doesn't matter nearly as much. Doesn't effect much. If we go for Highschool, private school might drag us into the HP pit. I think math magic would be good, but if you all want something else, that's fine too. Yes, and Yes. Why? Because it's funny and people do need more than magic. I'd say no, hesitantly. I think modern-earth-like would be fun, and help throw off more Harry Potter. If college, yes, if highschool... Rowling is in our walls. YES. I can imagine things like... magic snowglobes frozen time, Oils floating in the air that never dissipate. Magic art, magic creative writing (You could integrate an equation into writing. Think... proofs) Mhhh so this we really need to figure out. I say no wizard war, or if it is, less voldemort and more WW3. SORORITIES AND FRATS AND THE SCHOOOLS

What if we do magic that effects the basic laws of reality (WE MUST KEEP IR SEPARATED FROM THE SURGES!) I hate to say it, but math magic could fit. Oh you wanna change gravity? Well you gotta start from the bottom up. Change Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

I agree. Like, you might be good at one thing, but in the way some people are good at math.

I'm gonna go on a limb, and say NO TIME TRAVEL UNLESS EVERYONE INVOLVED AGREES. It's messy and screws with agency. I mean we could, but we should make them connected. Having to many magic systems that don't interact with each other feels disjointed, and doesn't make tooo much sense, especlly if we're approaching it from an academic standpoint. On an aside, do we want magic highschool, or magic college.

I would never. What kind of wizard casts at a touch range anyway?

thank you! I for one, want to mess with gravity magic!

Wizard PETA is coming for you

you can be a teacher/ Also PLEASE GOD I'M BEGGING YOU DON'T JUST MAKE THE 4 HOGWARTS HOUSES PLEASEEE WE ARE NOT HAVING THE GENOCIDE HOUSE OF SNAKES I think magical animals would count as endangered animals...

Yes! Harry potter but without harry potter. And with a functional magic system Very good point I don't know if most kids would be okay with that I must say

I can be a council women or whatever, then die brutally

Yes, neither could kill the other, unless Vin is preservation, which he would probably still recover from, he's like a cockroach.

As far as I can tell, no one on the shard has done one, which is surprising. I'm sure I missed one. We'd make a magic system (More interesting than basic elementalism, I hope), decide if anyone wants to be a teacher, maybe make some houses if you all want? I've put no thought into this at all so feel free to express whatever ideas you want. People who have signed up. Google docs for when we start making things concrete.
