@Oddsbod I really appreciate it. Let's talk in Discord when you have the time.
Edit: Dang, seven points is not a lot under this system. This is hard. ðŸ˜

Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

"Well EXCUUUUSE ME if my RPs don't have plot, setting, characters, any artistry of language like imagery/symbolism, or any of the things half-decent fiction has! What am I supposed to do, improve?!"

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

So what's the difference between "advanced" and "mighty" magics, particularly when it comes to non-combative abilities?
@FrozenEcstasy Ah, good. Wasn't my main focus anyway. Just wanted to make @71452K happy if I could manage it.
If the GM likes my mage idea more than my muggle idea (and I can get away with throwing some home medicine in there with the arcane powers too), definitely!
@71452K Herbalism, maybe. Depends on what I can get away with in addition to the character's magic, since I tried to play it safe and avoid powerplaying.
Why? You thinking of some kind of power-couple between your char and another?

In other news, I've sent my two character concepts to the GM. If he likes at least one then I'm excited to play with you guys.
@71452K There isn't a new 18+ tag for nothin'. ;^)
Get a 1x1 thread, you two.
@Oddsbod Thanks a lot. Maybe I'll just send both ideas to you in a PM, and you can tell me which one you like more. My backup would definitely have crazy-eyes (in fact it's pretty important to her gimmick), though if you want a non-magical character to balance out an overwhelming majority of magical PCs, I'm fine with that too. I'm happy to leave it to your discretion.
Is there still room? I'm a sucker for GMs who are willing to break the molds of genre and tonal structure, and as long as we don't have to write in iambic pentameter, I like Shakespeare, too! (No room for Harry and Falstaff on this map, though? Tsk tsk.)
My question is: how strong are an ordinary, normal, non-magical dude's chances of surviving in this world, since I'm not really interested in playing a technowizard? Does everyone know magic or is it more esoteric and exclusive? Likewise for gunpowder technology; widespread or rare? The OP does address this, but in the comparative. It says this or that is "less common" than it was before, but that doesn't really say how shocked and wary our characters would be if we saw a wizard in our midst.
(Edit: I do have a backup plan if a run-of-the-mill sword-swinger isn't what you're looking for, anyway.)
