I want to create a civilization where the users of the magic burn away their own blood to power magic. The only blood you are able to use is you own. Any thoughts?

This is an idea that popped into my head at a museum. What if there was a world with magic glass, that could be formed into shapes with special effects? What different kinds of glass would there be? Anyways, I want some input.

Inability to directly harm someone. Thats why he needs protection

Oops. Sorry, third ideal. And, will give him a Torment, for being such a good soldier. Sorry.

Yes, Skix is a Skybreaker, of the 3rd ideal. He has not broken his bond. I say that, Idoten, courtesy of his insecurities is prone to failing to draw Aons without the device (This is an official flaw. His insecurities dampen his ability to use Aons). His parents are just monsters. Really bad people. It is a unique case. They didn't trust Elantris either.

I'm new, so I don't know if this is a breach of protocol, but doing my best. I'm sure you have a life to go about @Koloss17, but I wondered if you could look again at the character profile.

Yes. He is the Lord of Darkness. They are both in their early teens.

You could have the measurable bit be how many sol's worth of light is created(or destroyed) with most character only able to work with 1 sol but some people able to go up to 10ish sol's(the amount of light in the sun).
I enjoy that idea, however, the main character is the so called Herald of Light, and the only one that can use light magic. I give you my congratulations on a excellent Idea though.

I was making the outline of a story about two characters, that are the opposite of their respective magics. Now, their magic is very cliche (Spears of Darkness, Beams of Light). However, I want a more definable way to measure their strength. Any Ideas?

K thanks. I'll get on that.
Edited
Tell me anything else you would like to see added (Within reason)

Backstory: Son of minor nobles, Idoten was taken by the Shaod. His family hated him for it. He after this wondered if anyone truly loved him. He reasoned "If my family doesn't love me, can anyone?". He became well loved and respected. This is because he become a protector of the people. However, he would sometimes use this as an excuse to hurt rivals, or learn of other Invested magic types on Sel. Despite this, he never lost his will to protect people. However, shortly before the Reod this was exposed to the general public. He retreated to his mansion in Elantris. He then became a scholar. He, when experimenting with Aons, misused Aon Tia and created Alley right before the Reod, escaping its effects. Stole a Awakened machine that allowed him to hack Aon Dor off of Sel, from the Ghostbloods, and saved Skix with it. The machine is currently in his possession. Because of this the Ghostbloods are tracking him. He currently is under the guise of a trader Elantrian.

His combat skills were unmatched, but he was held back by low social status. He was recruited by the Skybreakers in his 3rd year of recruitment, shortly before the turning of the Skybreakers. He was so devastated by their change of sides that he traveled into a highstorm almost broke his bond. However, the Stormfather convinced him not to and the thread of connection left caused an instability, creating an ally sending him to Alleycity, where he became a sort of Constable. He was confronted by the Ghostbloods after killing one of their members while carrying a Dawnshard (Given to him temporarily, by Hoid), it was at this point in time that he was saved by Idoten. He currently resides with him, and they are best friends.
Loose Ends: Wants justice for the Skybreaker Betrayal
Wants to know his parents.

So this is where I submit a character. I'm new to the Shard, so how does this all work? Sorry.
Hello?
Nevermind
I got this

As an idea, you could say, with an extensive knowledge of the sky, create dots of light that would have an effect based on the constellations human interpretation. For example, a constellation assigned to the Fire God might allow the user a burst of fire. Of course, this is very similar to Elantrian magic, so do what suits you.
One more idea. There are major stars and minor stars. on this world it is always a form of night. Each star has its own thing. For example, the Fjordstar, Denizen of Ice. When called upon, this star can be manipulated into freezing large areas. If you want to access them though, it requires incredible strength. Play around with it and give me what you decided on.I am interested to hear how it turns out.

Lets go. Now the true question: Spear or Blade?

@Through The Living Glass you're a member? Well me too. I would visit Azir, or the Shattered Plains/Uritheru if that counts. I consider myself an intellectual, and Azir just sounds pretty cool, plus with the empire it is larger. The other two for obvious reasons. Also, I didn't eat the cookie
. Also, I am a windrunner: I took the quiz

Welcome to the Shard! Who's your least favorite character?
Dilaf. He's just plain evil and has no redeemable traits. Also he's just weak. A full Dahkor and he gets beat by a couple of Elantrians and a 1/8 Dahkor Hrathen.

Great question. We have decided you can get Stormlight brainfreeze tho.
Hemalurgy??? Uh... Cool I guess. I mean it kept Marsh alive, and it looks epic, so good enough, even if its inhumane
Also check out the if you wre an epic. I'm gunslinger.

OK that makes sense. Thanks!

Epic Name: Gunslinger
1. Primary
Energy blasts. Will disintegrate a whole human body, and cause explosions.
1a: Secondary
Precognition/danger sense. More Atium level than true future sight.
1b. Tertiary
Invulnerability. Impervious to bullets, and other handheld weapons. Doesn't go as high as bombs or tank rounds. This is a mostly hidden ability, as he has never really been able to showcase it.
2. Weakness
Feeling really truly alone. He was separated from his family in the desert of Texas, and his Epic self has made this fear greater.
3. I have a twisted sense of Justice. For example, if someone were to get robbed, I would kill the victim for being weak, reasoning that he had brought it upon himself.
What do you think?

So, no not with anti Investiture. Really, my question is if we can make a sort of Fused Deadeye.
Also, when the Spren come into the gemhearts of singers, what kind of bond do they form? Do they form one? Or is it something else?
0 -
I was having a discussion with a fellow Sanderfan and I asked this question since I thought about the description of them being like spren. We both had no idea. So I ask the fandom: Could Fused become something like Shardblades?
0 -
Many of the spren in Roshars Cognitive Realm describe deadeyes as robbed of their minds, however RoW contradicts this in Adolins trial. So what actually happens to deadeyes? What part of them is damaged that lets them be summoned in the physical realm, but keeps them from thinking?

Gunslinger Radiant here. I'm an all around Sanderfan and enjoy talking about things like the flavor of Stormlight.

What would be a appropriately balanced Blood Magic System?
in Creator's Corner
Posted
Here is the current outline:
Bloodcaller
Set primarily on The Crimson, massive island on the center of one of 3 continents. It is ruled by the Worldking, a master of Bloodcalling, a dark art that was considered taboo for thousands of years, until he Mastered it, using it to start the Crimson Guild and dominating the people with his elite group of Bloodcallers called the Crimson Knights. They are a combination of assassins, cavaliers, and foot soldiers. They can burn away their own blood to increase their strength, speed, durability, senses, and a number of other things. This magic can be used for other things, like traditional spells: fireballs, flight, weapon enchanting, illusions, summoning objects, and creating animated beings. This is however, only the start. But, we can go into that later.
Setting: The Crimson had been blessed with massive natural defenses, and incredible agriculture ability. This however required an incredible amount of Bloodcalling, and turned all non-human Flora and Fauna a dark red, which gave the mega island its name. It has sizable cliffs that can't be climbed by an ordinary man. It has a field quadrant, a forest quadrant, a mountain quadrant, and a desert quadrant. At the center of it all is Bloodcrest, a massive capital city, spanning hundreds of square miles. It takes 3 days to get from end to end on foot.
Magic: Users can burn away blood that they are touching to power several different types of spells. They are directed by thought, but have a byproduct rune that can be sensed by Bloodcallers nearby. The spells either
Burn away a larger amount of blood
Burn away a specific number of milliliters of blood a minute
The spells are basically limited by the user's knowledge and imagination.
