Note: this is incompletely developed.

This is my second magic system proposal.

Magic Energy

• Found in crystals
• Gained at birth by all living things, based on parents (inheritance of ability), region of birth (crystal environment), and time of birth (planet alignment).

Crystals

• Emanate energy signatures/patterns based on type and shape
• Must be aligned into different geomertrical/symmetrical patterns to synergize different effects and strengths thereof.
• ??? Can be cut (crafted) to change their shape for maximal efficiency or to marginally manipulate their energy pattern

Types of crystals

• Sun
• Moon
• Meteor
• Air
• Earth
• Water
• Fire
• Life (for healing, restoration)
• Force (for telekinesis)

To be finished...

Spell Effects

• Computed (no standard spell set) from the alignments of all living things, crystals, and planets
• This means that one can experiment with crystals and alignments to create spell effects

Note: This would increase the fun factor for players, as well as taking the burden off of developers to maintain a standard spell list.

Alignment

• Weapons must be designed to hold crystals in different alignments
• Spell casters must use ornaments in which crystals are placed in geometrically designed positions (based on the spell effect)
• Spell casters must either equip ornaments onto different equipment or hold them in their hands
• Multiple ornaments can also be aligned with the body and with eachother to create a spell effect (postures and poses)
