Power system idea

So basically, in a fictional world that I’ve created, about 5% of people have special powers called ‘animas’ which come from their soul. These can be pretty much any ability like speed, lightning, teleportation, etc.

There are three stages of an anima’s development: Enhanced, which only includes the physical power boost, Awakened, which let’s the person use their abilities, and Mastered, where they have reached their full potential.

The power level system gives everyone a number based on how powerful they are, with 1 being an ordinary person, and 50 being around Theos’s level.

There’s also a type of strange purple crystal that can temporary nullify someone’s anima by touching it, so people crush the crystals into dust and mix it into metal to create some sort of “anti-magic alloy”

i like the concept of an anti magic alloy, it allows people who dont have powers stand a chance against powerful people who arent clever with how they fight

In a days of WOM it was PLANNED for magic to have different tiers and have different spells depending on it…Basic, Mastered, Awaekend(Dragonic) etc. But Point system was introduced in AO so it was scrapped

Pretty sure Arcanium can be anti-magic allyo of some sort, because it absorb magics, and if wore by non-magic user OR combined with wave magic it can perhaps absorb magic energy

What do you mean by “reached their full potential”? Shouldn’t there be a special new power or something at Mastered?

Also, are the different stages based on the person’s number? Like Mastered would be unlocked at 50.

Really cool power system.

Hehe, anime power

When someone reaches their “full potential” they’ve already unlocked all their powers

Animus. :neutral_face:

though stuff like that needs to be used well when writing otherwise it almost always feels like a cop out

this just feels like anime campaign but less good and a lot more generic
