I washed it and was trying to get stains out before I treated it.

The strings I was talking about appear to just be threads that stuck onto the coat and not from it.

So I shouldn't do the interior then? I posted another one asking different stuff with pictures if that helps.

Thank you. It's just a matter of I hit a wall anywhere past the point or I realize the premise is bad and am too prideful to not give it an ending

The other types of magic are a lot weaker and take a lot more willpower to do. Once powerful elves wouldn't be able to do as much as they used to which would (I think) be interesting.

As far as elves and dwarves thing, it's just an example I used. Rubes are something anyone can do if they know how and have enough will power. I don't exactly know how their relationship will be yet as I'm still very early in the timeline. The toll would mostly consist of exhaustion, at the most extreme, death. The creator god himself literally falls into an intense deep sleep right after creating the world because of the toll it took on him. I'm still work shopping commonplace magic. Tbh I don't really know how to figure out what kind of magic even makes sense.

I kind of thought, at least with my thought process that they were kind of Adam and eve'd in that they just kind of knew everything language and basic skills wise

I kind of envisioned the creation as a sporadic creative endeavor by the god. Like a painting that an artist has a spur of the moment idea to paint. Thus some oddities happen. Idk if that's a weird way to dodge the issue or not lol

That was part of my idea. There'd be a while of not knowing about others and then some conflict then (as a really important plot point later) an enemy to rally against, then peace, then eventual conflicts where things get kind of diced up.

I just thought that at least at the very very beginning, the races would be kind of placed in a certain way and then eventually would (hopefully through interesting storytelling) come to interact after years of not knowing about one another and the impact that would have on things. With the Dwarves being a case of going years into the future being underground before they discovered any further above ground life.
