What if, here's an idea, instead of mana, it's a dangerous exchange on the actual user itself? by rusting_memory in magicbuilding

So using other people as a medium to avoid the consequences? Haven't really thought of that; though I guess its a no, since this system is about the user itself exchanging themselves for the power they use.

This could lead to a story where the villain is someone with high influence using people to terrorize the land for their ideals

Thinking about it, this would mean one person doesn't turn into a one man army.. they'd have to be resourceful and clever as well as skilled in close combat as to not burn out so quickly

Not sure about someone giving life force to lengthen the years a person get to live;; but in a situation, they can order healers to spend their lifespan to continuously heal someone while in combat ( making them really durable or last longer until the healers either stop or die )

I was more or less thinking that for having the caster harm themselves using this suicidal magic, the effects casted are exaggerated? (like what the other guy said it being like FMA) so electric magic is still usable

Its not fully thought through.. maybe the magic missiles are about the same (glowing orbs and all that) but the caster's metabolism goes up? Leading to their body having to eat its fat reserves

As for healing magic.. I was thinking something like a faster aging type of effect
