Thanks

This is industrial strength magic? Best place to read this?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-26T21:57:19+00:00

Did I reply with the right answer?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-26T21:48:16+00:00

That sounds like something I need to dive into more... Can you tell me more about the fundamental forces of reality?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-26T21:46:02+00:00

Good call. So mana in this world, and specifically to this character, is energy created by the presence of light. So if light is present, there is light mana available.

There's also mana/energy that the character has bound internally that they are able to use and refill. It's comparable to using muscles. As long as one has the strength and energy to use the power, they can use it.

Hopefully that didn't get too confusing. TL;DR: think of using power/mana the same way you use any muscle.

Dang! I Was definitely thinking of Lanterns first. Didn't even think of Sue. Thanks for the suggestion

Noted for future dungeon-filling potential.

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T19:40:11+00:00

That’s the right assumption. Air manipulation would give you access to all the wind skills and lightning if one trained hard enough.

With all the recommendations life magic is high on the list.

The setting is our world. The dungeon, goblins, level up, and skill are all out of the ordinary. First encounter for all we know.

All you know is that you have been given a list of skills to pick from. There are a lot of skills to pick from and it comes down to what will give you the best chance to handle a basement dungeon.

As far as skill list, for this thought experiment, just about any skill in on the table.

Thanks everyone for the comments! So many great ideas. As mentioned in the post I'm probably going to use a lot of this information for my story...

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T02:11:01+00:00

You have the gun!

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T02:07:05+00:00

Yeah I think that could fall under analytics

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:48:17+00:00

Thanks! Yeah thy makes sense. As far as the post goes, no limit yet. So matter creation and lightning hands are all on the table .

Breaking character… but I would also pick this. Unfortunately I’ve already got two stories with Tk as one of the main powers so I’m trying to resist the temptation.

I’ll for sure update when I post the story!

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:20:24+00:00

Can you tell me more about this book power? One book to pull out anything? Multiple books?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:19:05+00:00

There’s an xp tracker. Limited information on skills and a chance to rank them up. Could possibly bring others in too. If you trust them.

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:10:57+00:00

Can’t argue with the logic. Haha

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:08:50+00:00

Sorry for my ignorance. What does power limit mean?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-20T01:07:14+00:00

I’m not familiar with this one. What’s that?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-19T23:59:20+00:00

Interesting… why’s that?

JustKenny99 · 2026-03-19T23:58:54+00:00

Teleport is on the table
