Bone? nice. Reminds me of the gold system that one person made

[grandsome]

I can see the twist in the story where there's a life focused bone magic that exists, blood comes from the bones after all.

[ProbablyokandUnhinged]

This just made me remember a very rare condition called "stone man syndrome" where instead of repairing wounds with muscles they go through a process called "ossification" where everything that got wounded gets replaced with bone, effectively petrifying that body part.

"Yield my flesh, to claim their bones."

"Now i shall smite you with every bone in my body"

*proceeds to literally use every bone in their body*

[exxpo]

I remember another person that made a magic system that revolves around gold being plated and grown onto bones. I think I like this concept more, as the concept of a bone mage becoming more demented looking the more powerful they are as they continue to merge more bones into their body is awesome. Boneling battles would be interesting as with the tree magic system you are incentivized to play carefully and wait for defensive magic like oak magic to wear off, while with bonelings, they would jump into close quarters with enhanced physicality and try to rip and tear the power off of the other user.

What an interesting approach to world building! I am a folklore enthusiast and esoteric practitioner. I don't know if you came across the certain stories during your research, but your concept of bone magic here carries a lot of similarities to quite a few ritualistic practices across the world. In many parts of Asia, hardcore esoteric practitioners will always have certain bones in their collection as they belief that certain bones from animals and human carry very specific energy which can be directed towards specific goals. I've come across a tribe in East Timor whose warriors put crocodile tail bone in their mouths to grant them physical prowess. Some would powder teeth of their previously defeated enemies and smear it along their spines to temporarily possess abilities of deceased enemy during fights. Others claim to be able to inflict burn damage, blinding the eyes, cause mass confusion, grant temporary inhuman strength, poison the wind or even call upon lightning with their prized bone with their bone amulets. Some of these magic bones are consumable one-time things, while others are more permanent talismans. All magic bones with special powers have undergone certain rituals to awaken the inherent powers in them. Sounds fantastical, yet such practices are still present in this modern age.

Bone Magic. So Scaaaary~~~. What are you gonna do? Break my back?

*Proceeds to give Scoliosis*

[BrokenDread]

This man needs to become a fantasy phenom

[eldarkarin]

Now you need mushroom magic for all the kingdoms of life (plants, animals and fungi)

[deadlyroses]

The spine hanging from someone's back triggered an old memory of a Hulk comic where he gets sent to some other world or time and gets a spine creature attached to him at the base of his neck that is sapient and forms some sort of symbiosis. It just activated that in my brain i dunno. This is fuckin cool my guy.

[typħoon]

Why is this so interesting? I would never think trees and bones would go together so well.

[magickmynd]

There was a video that was a short made by PIrateSoftware that someone from his chat talked about skelepathy, where essentially skeletons, the animated kind, could find you because your bones could telepathically speak to them from a distance from inside you. This video made me think of it as a type of bone magic lol

[Blowtorch]

This is such an interesting concept along with tree magic. You really thought it out quite bit and i love when writers or artists put so much work and passion into their creations.
Lately ive been finding quite a bit of those really original and unique ideas over the internet, the other noteworthy one would be plant-based madieval mecha drawn by Treelancer and i recomend checking out his channel to everyone who found this video interesting.

[M.Y_]

good shit, make more of these man, never have i been actually be interested in a channel like this before.

[famenation]

This Power System is very cool, and has potential for very interesting Combat scenes.
I wonder if you have seen Kimimaro in his fight against Naruto, Rocklee and Gaara( you can find it on youtube ).
Kimimaro also uses Bones to Fight in Cool ways.

[Jed_Herne]

Great video. I love the contast and thematic differences between the tree-based and bone-based systems!

[artisticassassin]

I made a character who's named Revenna. Her thing is that she haarnesses the power of death through using souls and dead bodies. She can turn into those people and even being them back if they have unfinished business in life. She's, obviously, not a good guy, probably my most evil character. I could go on and on about more of her character, but that'd be too long for most people to read.

I find your magic system to be really cool, it's super Epic! I might do my own on bones too! It's so cool how you do research too, that's what makes the best systems.

I love this idea. When I first heard it and saw the imagery of bones jutting out of the body, my mind oddly went to puppets, as the skeleton is the rigging of the body, it gives itself limits. I thought that with enough power and malice, someone evil may use bone magic to manipulate another. With 4 thin bones impaled perpendicular to each other at the wrists, two on each wrist, and threads or possibly even, tendons, tying them together, a user of bone magic could puppeteer someone whose will is not strong enough to overcome the influences of bone magic. It was just an idea but I hope you like it and maybe even build off of it in away that better fits your story.
