    Pondering other worlds, whether those be the distant worlds in our own universe, or the worlds we can enter through the stories of others.

    Speaking of which, here are some worlds/stories that I like, in no particular pattern or order (though this is probably in need of some updating):
    The Cosmere
    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    The Legend of Zelda
    The Xenoblade Chronicles series
    Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and adjacent books

    Arrival
    Inception
    Tenet
    Princess Mononoke
    Castle in the Sky

    ...And probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. This list is not comprehensive.

    Who wants to help me figure out a magic system?!

    It'll be fun!

    I hope!

    And then maybe I can add some nuance to this cliche interplanetary fantasy empire I've constructed!

      I can donate a magic system.

      Or you can run an idea by me and I'll give my thoughts. I suck at narrative, but love everything else.

      The setting is a group of planets spread out across a star cluster with nine stars. (This is medieval era fantasy, they travel using magic portals.) In ancient times, each star was inhabited by a god. The magic system is closely tied to the religion of the cluster (which I haven't worked out much yet either) and involves taking energy from the suns and using them for magic. 

      That's the basic gist. I know where I want the magic to come from, but I have no idea what the effects should be. Do I want it to be like Allomancy, where each star gives a specific ability, so people from entirely different planets have entirely different magics? (This would be cool in interplanetary conflicts, which will happen in the stories I'm thinking of.) Is there a baseline, things everyone gets to do? Are magic users only able to get energy from the sun they were born under?

      Things like that. Any ideas are welcome.
