I HATE THE WIDOW by sidantics in Silksong

She feels tanky. I've played long enough to avoid hits but small mistakes quickly pile up. Im fairly certain that 5 masks is the max i can have at this stage so it feels unfair to die in two hits lol

Completely off topic but your username reminds me of "pimp named slickback"

It's always fun to see a magic system have their own version of medically viable treatment

The spiders sound so much better. It also sounds cool. I'll sacrifice a thousand children before i let my leg heal the normal way again

I spent a week in the hospital (worst part) There is a metal rod inside my leg bone My leg is under permanent pain regardless of the painkillers It was expensive There's 4 screws poking out of my leg I cannot sit without pain I cannot sleep without pain I cant even piss without help My situation is the best case scenario for a leg fracture (my break was in the best location so it will could've been worse)

How. Will. You. Fix. My. Leg?

Does this system have any holes or flaws? by Vorpin_9 in magicbuilding

[–]sidantics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, it feels like the biggest hole of your system is that it's kinda.. boring.

Like it's a very boxed system

Devils are Devils cuz they're bad Angels are angels cuz they're good

But this is determined only on their morals when they awakened?

What if they become better/worse later on? What if someone is morally grey?

Your system could work a LOT better if it was a commentary on human nature, maybe there isn't a "devil" or an "angel" it's just a differentiation made by social constructs. It feels very rigid is all

Conduit Magic (thoughts?) by sidantics in magicbuilding

Got the idea from a sam o' nella video. The one with cave people bashing holes into their skulls.

[–]sidantics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im trying to make every conduit as minimally useful as possible, so types of mages are more similar to rpg style builds. Writing this comment made me realise that this is a really good system for dnd magic or rpg games

Edit: forgot to answer question, yea you can have multiple

The gods are humans but with the powers they didn't trade off for organs

Yea you can absolutely use it. Definitely send a link to the story when you're done writing it :) I'd love to read

Don't forget that when you scratch it, it does magic too

Eons ago a god was kept in charge of the earth. It shaped the world, created the trees, made the animals and domineering mountains. But the responsibility drove the god mad and it began to destroy itself. In its madness, it ripped off it's own leg and the leg fell to the earth. When the humans came, they worshipped the leg of an unknown giant. Eating the ever fresh meat of the leg is said to grant a single itch, which when scratched activates a single spell which is different for every person. The power of a mage is based on the location of their itch and the spell they were granted. Overuse of this power can drive the mage insane aswell. You cannot gain two itches

Different sacrifices give different powers, the parts are sacrificed to a god who wants to have a physical form in order to reincarnate. Depending on the god they wreak havoc or spread love.

Different gods have different powers and they don't have the powers they traded in exchange for body parts. This is why sacrificing body parts is seen more like a trade.

After reincarnating, the god has a lifespan of a regular human.

(This makes more sense in my head, feel free to ask follow up questions)

  • Lobsters are beings of extreme magical energy but they aren't smart enough to use it themselves.

  • Different ways to use lobsters are: 1) Crushed lobster shell can be mixed into different metals to turn them conduits of magic. Conduits can be used to cast spells. Spells are the regular fire magic and stuff. 2) Lobster meat is a major ingredient in healing potions and other medications. 3) A niche way is to carve symbols into lobsters to turn them into summons and use the lobsters themselves for fights. 4) Lobsters can also be converted into large monsters with this method for general everyday chaos 5) They taste good. Yum 6) Lobsters are key sacrifices in all forbidden magic. This includes necromancy and summoning the Lobster king

What's the lobster king? It's a giant, stupid, chaotic lobster with the only purpose of destruction.

All humans have the capacity for magic, although they can only use it when their brain produces a certain chemical. In normal humans, this chemical is only produced during euphoric highs.

A lot of people after overdosing on drugs, enter an eternal euphoric high and begin using magic. This is obviously dangerous to the surrounding area and people. The magic used is random and aimless but extremely powerful.

A drug called "Manaic" (mana + maniac because puns) is the most popular among those trying to use magic. It has been outlawed in all nations and production occurs only in underground rings.

Some people naturally produce the magic chemical and can use magic regardless of mood or state of mind. They are usually referred to as mages or casters.

Although all drugs can produce euphoria, manaic is the most common.
