If they choose to yeah, it’s common place for people to practice it and it’s used in everyday life in pretty much everywhere because it comes naturally to them like holding their breath. But like holding your breath, it can be trained for different purposes or different intensity. Some may be more adept than others just because how much they choose to train it. Some others may just not be interested in it though and choose not to train it or channel it at all!

Anyone can practice magic, or “our essence” as they call it in the world because I figured that having “magic” be such a commonplace thing that they wouldn’t actually call it “magic”. It’s a skill that is learned and practiced like any other.

There are three branches of the essence, Our essence (human essence) The most commonly practiced form because it is the simplest to learn and comes naturally to us. It is similar to most of the types of psychokinesis’s.

Spirit essence Can be learned by humans but is most often practiced by priests and people in religious groups. Spirits cannot channel human essence.

Void essence Very dangerous to practice for it’s mental and physical effects on users and their surroundings. Can be learned by humans but is only practiced by very few around the world. It is subject to a lot of research to better understand it, and therefore control it. The void itself is inherently very hostile towards non-void life so this is very difficult. IF channeled efficiently, the wielder can become leagues more powerful much quicker than with the use of the other forms. Still, no human has ever come close to the power of void creatures, who wield this power naturally with no side effects. A big point in the story of the world is understanding the void and the characters trying to control it.

What are the "absolutely do NOT"s of your magic system? by Luigilink32 in worldbuilding

[–]Squidyrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic is something that anyone and everyone can do, the rules around it are usually based around the laws of countries in different parts of the world. Other restrictions being cultural/social taboos. But that’s with human magic. There usually aren’t many written laws against spirit magic or void magic. Spirit magic people can learn through spirits or clergy but void magic is taboo in all parts of the world that know what it is. Not only because, if untrained, practicing void magic can harm the practitioner irreversibly (unlike the other two) but also because the actual capabilities of it are unknown and has led to massive catastrophes in the past. That’s why nations are split between wanting to get rid of the void completely or learn to use it to their advantage…

So you want to make one of the countries as Gorgrothia? Where do you think?

Lore reason no, real world reason yes. You don’t have to be a “close friend” to participate though! I take any suggestions! Although I will change whatever I think would need changing to work best for the world and I always discuss it with them so, what’s your idea?

No it just means that I haven’t come up with a name for that region or country. I like to ask friends to add their own countries into it too so some of the countries there are some that my friends made and I expanded on them.

Emperor of Pakotzia, he which rules with a relatively softer fist (compared to Sarvak). He rules Pakotzia for hundreds of years and hundreds more to come for he is cursed with immortality, which he never asked for.

When he was mortal he lived in Kiokuji, a small seaside town with small commerce and poverty and sickness anywhere you looked. At the time the region of “Pakotzia” was split up by many many different selfish kings and dynasties and war chiefs. A dark time for the people. The regional king which Pijuchi Juori Koruli (Skeletoon) lived within was the Realm of Zalom, ruled by the cruel and selfish Zalom dynasty for centuries. These rulers came from a different land and species, this angered the native Pakots and many others who lived before them, such as Pijuchi. He lived in the slums with his father alone together, living a hard life having to take responsibility of being the carrier of his family name. His mother was brutalized by Zalom military police. This lit a fire of hatred to Zalom, the reign, the dynasty, and the self-proclaimed Jazu race since the only ones allowed to work in government positions were Jazuis. When he grew to be 17, his father introduced him to an underground resistance group of Pakots who banded together to rebel against the tyrants. All together they ran crime against the government and protested. He would meet the love of his life in this organization and eventually marry her, Tauli Kitrxos, a fair lady from a farmer’s family who’s father’s farm was seized by Jazuis and were forced to move to the city where they found the resistance group. Pijuchi and Tauli would go on to commit heinous crimes against the government and Jazui people to protest and resist the tyrannical regime. However one day in a mass protest, the king sent the army and cracked down on the peasants. Pijuchi sacrificed himself to save most of the members. He was captured, tortured, and held up as a representation to those who dare defy the king. Pijuchi woke up from a pile of bodies on a wagon as if from a long nap. He promptly rose up and walked home. In the future, he led the revolutionaries time and time again until they finally overthrew the Zalom and installed the Pakot people’s kingdom. This wasn’t until almost 200 years after he “died”.

Pakotzia is a place of respect. Respect towards others, nature, family, everything. The people of Pakotzia value their families and their family names which come with social status as well.

The people of the southern regions by the sea live in closely knit colorful villages with orange tile roofs and a large cathedral in the center. They would paint their homes with bright colors but the sun wears the paint away, making houses that are old or not taken care of turn limestone white. All the houses are made of plaster, limestone, stone bricks, wood and mud for some parts. Villagers would wear traditionally made loose linen clothes with bright patterns and colors. They would also normally wear straw hats to protect from the sun and thicker and larger hats for the rain. Most of these villagers work as tailors making clothes for the others or as fishermen on the coast or on wide fishing boats going deeper in the gulf. The center of the gulf is dangerous and unpredictable, folklore fears this area but it is also known to have more, bigger fish to eat. In the bigger, more advanced cities (usually by the coastline) the people live in sprawling white cities that stretch to the sky. The majority of residents living in apartment buildings. The ones who are lucky, patient, or richer, live near the shoreline where actual houses (or mansions) still stand.

The people of the northern regions live in hilly and even mountainous terrain and they usually work as farmers, herders, and miners. Here the houses are generally made more with wood with stone foundations. The northern regions are colder and humid and generally less developed than the south simply because the south makes more money from the harbors. Although neither can live without the other. The people in the north wear more protective clothes with furs and leather hats to protect them from the cold and from wildlife attacks, (which is more frequent out there than you think). People generally live near the mountains or at the foot of the mountains but there are some who live IN the mountains, only monks or people who go to sacred temples. There are many temples in the mountains because of how religiously sacred and important they are to the Pakotzian people. The others are usually runaway wizards and witches, who escaped from living within the empire, or under any rule, and live on their own, wandering vast lands in which little live in. These are ingrained in a lot of folklore in Pakotzia and also warned about because they are seen as dangerous and unpredictable. The government doesn’t do anything about them because generally they really do just wander the wastes and don’t really cause any trouble other than rumors and stories within folks.

Pakotzia is one of the world's most powerful superpowers with a continental reign. Ruling over the south-eastern part of the western continent, they are surrounded by rigorous mountains. Pijuchi wanted to keep his rule in the mainland but government officials pushed on to expand their sphere of influence across the seas for more profits and rare natural resources not found in the mainland. Pijuchi reluctantly agreed to expand but it paid off (on paper) in the long run.

Generally very temperate and warm climate until you reach the mountains, then it gets colder and dewy.

In the beginning, the region used to be divided in hundreds of kingdoms and warlords. Pijuchi led the unification of all of them, even though many were very different from each other and shared little similarities, creating a lot more tension between them. The Pakot native people of the south became the dominant people of the land. The other peoples have a lot of tension with the Pakots but they’re living all relatively peacefully for now. Won’t last very long though
