Goodness, you are an engineer. Thank you for the example and for guiding us to think through it as you would

[Barianus]

An excellent video! I ended up backing your project, it seems very interesting :)

[hggpi]

i have a very serious question. HOW THE FUK YOU HAVE ONLY 874 (at the time when iam writing the comment) SUBSCRIBERS??? this channel deserves more subs. the content is very high tier.

[Chinxize]

Just listened to all the episodes! Loved the magic system episodes!!! ♥♥ Hope to listen to you again @exolorepod later on! :)

I am going to use this habitually from now on holy wowzers!

I love this approach. I feel like this channel has helped me actually fully realize the magic in my world as an actual force of nature and not just a thing thats there

Also what is the name of the other yt channel you recommend in a video?

[zeldaandTwink]

Would you please go more into detail about the perspective?

Like what would an example of a character perspective be in this instance, and how does it differ from a creators perspective

[Agonis]

Very glad I found this channel yesterday! Looking forward to more fantastic content.

How are you distinguishing infinite vs renewable magic sources? You said that the flux was neutral because while the commonness was increasing that was causing there to be less magic for each individual, but you also said that it was infinite rather than renewable.

This isn't really very relevant to the video but I have multiple wip stories that have a magic system. I haven't developed the system for each yet but my idea has always been just make alteration to the magic system I have developed for those stories. Mostly just changing it to be softer or harder to fit the story. I came up with this because I didn't want to make a magic system from scratch for each story. But this has me wondering, is it ok to reuse a magic system? And I'm talking about for stories not set in the same world.

Good to see a soft magic system, for once. People are too obsessed with the hard/hard-rational magic systems these days. Emphasize on "systems", not "magic".

[orionar]

So a mage perspective would have it he hard, because they know the stars
