Lol I've been procrastinating in figuring out how my story's magic system works so this came at a good time.

My power system uses desires. Its a kind of wish magic that lets you get one ability out of a mundane wish you make as a kid. Eg: a character has the ability to summon chairs at will

My magic system is music as characters believe that music can bring people together whether it be competitive wise or emotional wise. However music has a toll on those who listen to it for too long they'll be in rage and taken over by the music.

You gave great examples of what power systems should be. Hunter x Hunter is definitely the go-to reference for a great power system. Another power system that came to mind was JOJO's stands. They also have rules and sets which make the battles really fascinating and creative.

My power system is inspired by Vizards in Bleach. There are people who have the ability to summon masks. While wearing a mask, you are granted that mask’s special skill set. You can also fuse with the mask and transform into a sort of demon to amplify the powers. The appearance of the mask gives you a good idea of what its skill set is. The police force uses masks given to them by angels, while shady characters go around and hand out demon masks to criminals and lowlifes to create chaos. The main character is one of these lowlifes that gets a demon mask, but he decides to use it to be a vigilante. So, he tries to take out other demon mask users while avoiding being arrested by the police force. One last important difference between the Angel masks and demon masks is that the demon mask will take over your body once you fuse with it and transform. So, this is a power that the main character has to slowly learnt to control or risk becoming a full blown demon and attacking his loved ones.

I loved the story you showed in the beginning because in my novel, “The Collective: Forsaken Faith,” the powers or Manifexes as they are known are intrinsically linked to each character's identity. The more they embrace their true selves, the stronger their Manifex becomes. However, when characters attempt to present a false persona or deny their authentic nature, their Manifex weakens and diminishes, limiting their potential

I really like devil fruits and haki its stands out tbh 🤷🏾‍♂️

One my favorite power systems that inspired me was from Epithet Erased, with the powers being called "Epithets". It's basically quirks in aha, however they center around the definition of a word. The only imitations is mainly their one's creativity. A character example is Giovanni Potage: whose epithet is Soup. Although having such a ridiculous epithet, he makes up for it with his creative usage. He can boil soup, making it quite a hurtful burn, and heal himself and others with it. His most creative use is building up soup steam around him, launching him up at a fast speed, and even allowing him to teleport behind you! For an Epithet that effected a user's personality: I would give it to Mera Salamin: Fragile. Her epithet caused her to suffer her whole life, forcing her to be bedridden her entire childhood. Although being able to live with it, Fragile causes her to take self damage whenever she uses it, making her steal stamina from others. She hates her Epithet, causing her to look for an Amulet that lets people steal Epithets.

I needed this. I recently decided to make a new power system for the mc instead of ki.

My power system is called Willpower. It’s basic but solid. It revolves around determination and desire. Basically, you can do anything you want as long as you’re determined to attain it. Either through intense training or intense meditation, your soul itself will begin to grow until it shoots out into a form of energy that you desire. Your abilities from said willpower are also HEAVILY based on your personality. Your wish to connect more with nature? You attain the power to create and manipulate elements. You love animals and insects alike? You’ll be able to communicate with them and summon them as allies. You love inventing and wish to always have your tools and resources close to you so you don’t have to stop? You will attain the power of magnetism. It goes on and on. These powers can also be environmentally born. Everyone can have the same power. It can start awaken at any age. There can be prodigies who awaken it by instinct, or in one go, but anyone can learn. Because the power itself resides in their soul, anyone can learn how to have powers. So, there are no “freaks” or “anomalies”. The only reason people wouldn’t have powers is because they’re not hungry enough to attain their goals. My power system is heavily based off of Haki and Devil Fruits from One Piece. You can use your willpower to sense the location of others by the intensity of their souls, you can shrink your own to hide your presence, and you can fill any part of your body to be harder than diamond. The devil fruit inspiration comes from Vegapunk’s (One Piece character) idea/theory on devil fruits with them being the literal item that brings a person’s desire to reality if they’re determined enough to make it one. The drawback of this power is that it’s your LITERAL soul taking the shape of your ability. It can be damaged if you overuse it. Overuse it and your soul will forcefully stop itself, knocking you unconscious. That will be your only warning. But, if you try to get up and keep going, your soul will shatter Undertale style and evaporate. Killing you and leaving you as a dried husk.

In my story, there have two magic systems, one called etherea, that is born natural, and other called cuántica, that starts artificial and eventually become both artificial and born natural. The first uses corporal movements to manipulate the environment with the mystical energy called ether, and the second uses thoughts to control the quantum fields in the subatomic particles to control the environment in the macroscopic level. Both are represented visually with changes of color of the wizards (primary colors with their dark, medium and light variants; based in their emotions and their intensity when wake up their magic for the etherea, and the secundary colors, depending for how their obtained their powers, for the cuántica), that represent different group of spells, the magicians can change their color for one group of spell to a other and are soft (etherea) and hard (cuántica) magic systems.

I don’t think people should be sharing their power system y’all Finn get your ideas taken

Mine is based off biblical and a little bit of parasite but that’s about it. I really don’t want to give too much away because I put some real work into it.

My power system is rings that give the user supernatural ability’s and can also increase all five senses and depending on what power they get, the better they learn how to harness the powers the better they’re able to make objects or “bend” (fire bending) the power

My favorite things to brainstorm is power systems and i have an idea that is a little hard to explain Idea: It will be a dark shonen and in the world there is no like set in stone magic system to the naked eye. however there are Conjurers (people who posses magic abilities from the underworld itself) in some magic systems you can sign a contract to gain a power. in mine you can link or attach to a conjurer almost as if you are chained up to that conjurer. Conjurers have to accept the attachment because they also have to make sacrifices when the attachment is made. Not all conjurerers have an attachment though because they choose not to because some view attachments as dead wait. To a normal person with the naked eye the world is normal and most humans dont rome the streets in the middle of the night because they are usually sleeping. This is the time when Conjurers and Phantoms rome. A normal person when they come in contact with a Conjurer they can attatch to them or sort of become there apprentice and gain supernatural abilities off of the conjurer. the only downside to the attachment process is that the conjurer and their attachtment are chained together not physically but there is a elemental magical chain combined to both of them. this is the risk a conjurer has to make because if either side of the chain dies, the other does as well so the conjuerer becomes the mentor and has to teach their apprentice about how to grow and become strong with the piggybacked powers provided from the conjurer during the attachment. Phantoms are demons like in demon slayer they only are around at night but there is a catch. Phantoms take control of peoples soul and body and corrupts them (however a phantom can't corrupt a Conjurer or their Attachment) Conjurers and Attachments have the abilities to Release the Phantom from the corrupted human. They have to do this because if they want to kill the phantom without killing the innocent live taken over, they have to release the phantom from the soul. After they release the phantom, the conjurer and attachment can fight the Phantom to kill it also phantoms are unconscious and don't have the ability to think freely other then being bloodthirsty however if they are in a humans body long enough then they can become a Radiant and gain a consciousness and their own decisions which some Radiants are still evil but others after gaining conscious decide to fight phantoms and other radiants this power system is flexible and will really bring out story conflicts and rivalries hope you enjoy (Edit: Inspirations are Jujutsu Kaisen x Demon Slayer x Hell's Paradise)

i never understood why people think jjks power system is confusing like its not that deep tbh

Here’s my power system for project - lmk suggestions what to add or delete - Chi Energy: Chi is the mystical life force that powers the abilities of samurai. It is the foundation of their strength, allowing them to perform extraordinary feats and techniques. Genshin Techniques: Genshin techniques are special abilities or techniques that characters possess, fueled by their mastery of chi energy. Each character may have their own unique Genshin technique, reflecting their personality, background, and training. Qi Energy: Although sounding similar to chi. Qi is a secondary power that can be used by everyone to tap into special abilities that range from battle use to the medical field. Qi techniques can be created and learned by all individuals Qi Infusion: Samurai can infuse objects or weapons with qi energy, enhancing their properties and imbuing them with special effects. For example, a sword infused with qi may become sharper and more durable, or a shield may become impervious to damage Mastery Rate: 80:. Qi Projection: Characters can project concentrated bursts of qi energy as offensive attacks, ranging from simple blasts to complex energy constructs. They can shape their qi into various forms, such as blades, orbs, or waves, to suit their needs in combat. Mastery Rate: 68% Qi Healing: Characters can use qi energy to accelerate the body's natural healing processes, mend injuries, and restore vitality. By channeling qi into themselves or others, they can promote physical and spiritual well-being and alleviate pain and suffering. Mastery Rate: 9% Qi Sensing: Characters can attune their senses to the flow of qi energy in their surroundings, allowing them to perceive subtle changes in their environment, detect the presence of other beings, and anticipate incoming threats. Mastery Rate: 15% Qi Manipulation: Advanced practitioners can manipulate qi energy to control the elements, alter the fabric of reality, or perform feats of telekinesis. They can shape qi into intricate patterns, create protective barriers, or unleash devastating bursts of energy with precision and finesse. Mastery Rate: 74% Levels of Mastery: Qi mastery techniques are categorized into different levels of proficiency, ranging from novice to master. Characters can progress through these levels by training diligently, honing their skills, and unlocking more advanced techniques as they advance. Core Principles: At the heart of qi mastery are principles of harmony, balance, and flow. Practitioners must learn to cultivate inner peace, align their energies, and synchronize their breath with the natural rhythms of the universe. Drawbacks and Limitations: While qi mastery offers great potential, it also comes with limitations and risks. Characters must learn to manage their qi energy effectively to avoid exhaustion, loss of control, and negative consequences. Overexertion of qi energy can lead to burnout, injury, or even corruption if practitioners are not careful in their practice. 😂

8:56 bruh why is Meruem fighting Adam

I wanna make a power system that involves kaijus and demons in someway but I don’t really know where to start. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for flashing the details and answer so much questions, truly master of the art, if my work ever see the light of success, I won't forget your help

I have a few magic systems in my story, but the main one I have revolves around my demigod characters. When a demigod is born, they start off with no powers usually with some exceptions. As they grow older thier powers start to develop and show up through a series of displays until they reach thier first "awakening" which is when they get thier first set of powers.

Here's my power system When you're conceived your assigned a god animal that is *Dragon *Lion *Bird *Wolf (The wolf is the weakest one) When you get those you'll also have a core emotion *Anger *Sadness *Happiness *Fear Before I move on to the main power system you can also awakened to get supernatural abilities that you normally can't do with normal kiyasu (key-yat-su) Ex. Paint manipulation Kiyasu Is like a universal power system you can do anything with it you can create your own techniques with it like you can make a bombs with it you can make strings with it you can do anything you want the only thing that's holding you back is your imagination it's very hard to use it and for that some races and some people can't use it outright they have to use it through something else like grimoires weapons technology another way to use it is what they call alchemy Limitations Don't get too much of it Don't run out of it In my universe you can heal people but it's very risky to give people your kiatsu since it's made for you so if you don't have the ability to heal people try not to do that you could poison someone or you could die if you give too much (I love anime power systems so I made this based off of every anime I could think of it's basically like a universal power system and since my universe is like a multiverse I just said oh that would be a good power system)

There is a story i plan to create. The power system being called Rupture or Fracture. Rupture being an elemental based power that people gain from birth, and Fracture being a supernatural power e.g super strength... what do other story writers think i can do with this power system to make it seem more interesting?

Thanks I needed it

I am taking my first crack at making my very own manga so this video was very informative. The only issue im going to have is hiring a drawer to help make the panels

My power system in my on-going Novel (Still writing) is a bit abstract. The whole worldbuilding is the literal Universe. There's a power unit (Kinda like Chakra in Naruto or Ki in DBZ). So basically, there's at least one intelligent species in each galaxies and each galaxies contains at least one of the "Made-Temples" where an unknown fruit exists (In each temples). And Human are an artificially made prototype by the Martians that has been evolving and existing in Mars for more than 200 Million years with incredible technology. So basically what the Martians did was to feed two of the four human prototypes fruits from the temple. (Each soul automatically Creates its own magical power) And these fruits are later developed into special abilities no other human can acquire and it only can be acquired by gene and the main character is their descendant

My power system is mostly a combination of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Mashle. It involves different elemental marks that appear on the character's faces either from training or after experiencing a traumatic event. These marks give them the power to use traditional elemental powers like water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning, which are all hereditary based on genetics, but as the story goes on, the characters are introduced to derived elements taken from the main element, such as controlling ice, lava, metal, sound, and magnetism. To learn new techniques, the characters can read elemental scrolls or enroll in schools that teach them how to use their elements. The strongest and the most unstable technique that can be learned is the elemental state, which is a transformation that envelops the user with elemental energy and amplifies the power of their abilities, but results in the user lashing out of control. After releasing the elemental state, the user falls unconscious to recover their lost energy, but if it was used constantly, it may lead to the death of the user. In addition to these derived elements, the characters can also develop full-potential abilities based on the element they were born with once they become elemental masters, but they can choose only one of these abilities to use. They include but are not limited to transfiguration, memory recollection, object manipulation, prediction of the future, and time control. Outside of the elements, there are powerful artifacts called the stones of Yolanseil, which grant the user any wish they desire at the cost of sacrificing something of equal value, but it's only available in small amounts. Characters who don't possess elemental powers can enlist in the military to learn self-defense and sword techniques.

Always a good day when Monitor uploa- WAIT WHEN DID YOU CHANGE UR NAME??

1:49 That’s the type of superpower I’ve thought of at first

My power system uses aura (ik infact i got idea from HxH) but its different here. Here there are people who already have aura released from birth they sre gifted but some oeople who are not gifted they have to first learn to release it by training yourself with aura stone which releases your aura abd each person has different colour of aura. Then we have Shathriki which is achieved by connecting to your own soul and using your aura to connect to your inner world. After fully connected using your soul power, each person's Shathriki has its unique and different ability and there is another technique which is used to negate your enemy Shathriki ability which is counter aura since Shathriki requires aura too and with counter aura technique you can negate that person's any attack or ability but yea for that you need to have equal or more aura than that person. This is not end there is another stage of Shathriki which is called Shatai which only few of people achieved it as its extremely a higher level power where you reach your enlightenment and not everyone can reach their enlightenment. In Shatai you can open your third eye and once you open it you will be even stronger than before and each person's third eye has its own design and unique ability. For this you either need to be genitically gifted or a prodigy or you need meditate for many years and fully go spiritual. Even our main character hasnt achieved Shatai .

Bro hxh power system is far more complex than jjk imo. I feel like newer generations just don’t pay attention.

My power system is called Kyrus. It’s actually an energy in the body which takes the form of cells that flow through your body delivering energy into your core which resides close to the heart. Characters Are able to manipulate it in 3 forms. Manipulation, Conjuring, and Summonings. That’s the main idea.

I dont make Manga, but Ive come up with my own superhero universe, it uses mainly parodies of other superhero franchises but with my own very special twists, many characters have unique ways of obtaining power but the strongest, those destin to protect theyre planet, my superman parody thought he was meant to protext earth, yet he eventually realized that the ring given to him by a shapeshifting cosmic god, that runs every piece that makes up a system, forming the ultra core. The system creates various atrifacts, Rings, Amulets, bracelets, gloves and more. The masters of The system disguise as dying alien beings and grant cosmic abilities to those of who they sense a great destiny in. The story im making focuses on how I think it would go if me and my friends had powers. And before we master them we get the shit beaten out of us. We mainly would fight aliens and galactic threats. But we do face other threats but most of them are cosmic.

I must to say that all your videos helped me a lot to create my power system, characters and story. Thanks! My power system is called "Ego" and consist in the last wish near to death that a character has once trapped in a liminal space becoming your habilty. It has a secondary system too called "Lucid Dream" that counters Ego users but doesn't let you to use Ego at the same time (kinda mixture between jjk's dominions and one piece's haki)

Alright, so my idea of my power system is a little complicated, I'll try my best to explain it and would love to hear some feedback. Essentially, in my story there are two worlds which run parallel to each other. The world where the story takes place and another world, called the soul world. In my story everything has a soul, living or non living it all has a soul. The shape and properties of these souls can be altered via the soul world. But how can someone alter the soul world from the real world? Well everyone and everything has a version of themselves in the soul world. Beings in the soul world can alter anything souls as the wee fit. A person in the real world and their counterpart in the soul world are connected well via the soul. Those with greater connections to their counterparts, can influence them. This means that they can influence the counterpart to not only alter the shape and properties of their souls but also the environment. The restrictions on this power system are that you cannot increase or decrease the size of something's soul, meaning you can't turn a pebble into a giant sword. Also to truly make most use of this power you have to understand the full range of what certain things can do. You could also be held back by your lack of creativity too. Yep so that it it's still in its early stages and is being made better as we speak like I said before I hope you can give me some honest feedback to help me improven

As somone who dosent make power systems because most people are normal and dont have powers or magic but i made some good ones like if you get a small traumatic event or a sad one that will be based on youre power like if you almost got killed and you are traumamatized you will get imortality (with downsides and a way to disable it by death)

Thanks for the video! My power system uses mana which flows through all living creatures, but has to be conducted through a focus (any object that holds value to you or is natural) There are some mundane spells but usually users specialize in one technique or another, while others have a natural technique that is naturally better to them. Mana is therefore limited, and users either have to use the mana of other beings or carefully manage their own. Maybe a bit complex but it should create some interesting fights. Inspired by frieren, jjk and eragon

This is my power system i guess But first when you're conceived you're assigned one of God's animals *Dragon *Lion *Bird *Wolf After you get one of those you can see what your core emotion is that can be anger, sadness, happiness and fear Oh and you also have awakenings that give you supernatural abilities Ex. Paper manipulation But the power system is call kiysu (ki-yat-su) this power system gives a boost to make you superhuman like super strength super speed and super durability but you can also do supernatural abilities with this power system like making kiysu bombs or making a string of kiysu you can emulate fire lightning etc if you're proficient enough in it Some people can't use kiatsu in a way that the people in my story use it a different way like grimoires, using it through weapons Everybody has kiysu the way you breathe the how you can see how you hear how you feel that's all kiysu You can also use this in technology to make spaceships or to make phones The limitations are don't run out of kiysu or you might pass out or die also kiysu is like a muscle if you don't train yourself to use it you won't be able to use it at all you don't have a set limit of how much kiysu you can gain but you will explode if you have too much (When I thought of this power system I thought of everything how can I make it unique how can I make it like Hunter x Hunter are dragon Ball than I thought they all work on the universal power system every anime power system is similar in some way so so it's just a universal power system.)

My power system is a bit more grounded, scientific, and complicated. It’s called hermeticism and It’s a branch of alchemy in my world, so in order to understand hermeticism we have to understand what alchemy is in my story. Alchemy is a practice that allows the manipulation of matter. All done through a process called transmutation, where you bring desired materials, ingredients, or components together to make something out of them. And then you have to imbue an energy called quintessence into said ingredients to trigger the transmutation process which transforms the gathered ingredients into your desired result. Quintessence is often in the form of a blue stone for non-hermits. Anyways onto actual hermeticism, it’s a branch of alchemy, where the user can transmute the components in their physical body, which can allow them supernatural abilities. The most notable thing they can do is perform alchemy without need for a quintessence stone. - Transmuting the carbon and iron in your own body can allow you to generate steel from your body, allowing you to form blades or even an exoskeleton. This is because carbon and iron are what is required to make steel. - Generating Flames from your body by transmuting the oxygen and hydrogen in your body. - Hell, even transmuting the sodium, chlorine, and water in your body to generate an electrical charge which ultimately allows them to project electricity from their bodies.

Chat what should i call my Energy RN its nameless my Power system Is innate abilities in my comic the earths core Is a gem that was inside of theya and , the gem It somehow gave humans a genetic alterations and almost every creature just taht humans can use them better because of theire intelligence innate abilities are the said genetic alterations they can litterally be anityng wacky broken anityng even mid sfuff so the mc lives in Brooklyn yep Brooklyn he happed to get thw most mundane ability ever super strength and all living things have three "cores" taht can be unlocked trougth training every time one burts more abilities become usable to the user the mc (Kevin) is litterally peak human witch with fully evolved super strength he can defeat almost any weak treaths but aliens from other plants really want the gem kevin is also a goofball and his main goal is to keep his adoptove family safe and he figths treaths whit his female best friend and a guy he meets later on and.

The thing is, i got my own power system about a manga im making, Soul Train. But how TF do i name it like nro where i make it cool like Ki or Chakra

Of course I’m a dbz fan I do love the power system with sensing energy besides the energy blast and things like that I don’t really copy anything from it I do my own thing trying not to copy everything

My manga takes place in the Viking era During an event, all the gods of Norse mythology were killed (Ragnarök), and in order to continue living, they selected certain humans who appealed to them or suited them, and they nested within them. As a price for this, they give the hosts godly energy. Godly energy is a type of energy that is in everything because the gods used it to create the world. One can essentially convert godly energy into other things, but one must concentrate and visualize it (I hope it's understood what I mean, you have to actively think about it). And every person uses it differently; some make weapons out of it, others fire, and so on. How much of this energy is given to humans depends on the god residing within them. Feedback is appreciated

My power system in a nutshell: based on the time of day that you were born on -> determines if your abilities are nullified or amplified in both time and place. What other mechanics are in the power system: each ability is a physical or psychological manifestation of either your family traditions, your imagination and freedom, or what your morals and alignment are. I used this power system to express why one character manifested this power, what emotions caused it to act this way, and how both time and place also show why the power is affected or not in some way. a tragic event in the past could cause what used to be a characters harmless green sparks of flame that used to heal now turn into a twisted purple and red mass of destruction that turns those who used to have dormant power now corrupted into monsters that over use their power until they are nullified at their time and place or their very power to be the cause of their downfall.

Dragon Ball Super: "What's That?"

Im a huge fan of making powers and this was by far the hardest part of it. I’ve went through like 15 ideas in two weeks and i finally realized that i was trying to be too creative and unique, but i finally came up with something i like, and i think its well thought out, especially because it was built around the power of the protagonist. Each person has a natural affinity towards one of the five classifications. While they can develop minor skills in other areas, their innate talents lie within their primary classification. Holders - Most common, and their affinities manifest as weapons suited to them, which are incredibly powerful and durable. Manipulators are second most common, and it’s just like it sounds. They manipulate things like bending or telekinesis. Enhancers can enhance their body in numerous ways with their ability. This could be durability, stretching, shape shifting, anything to do with the body. Conjurers are the second rarest, and can manifest their ability as a being who they can fight alongside with. Transformers are the rarest, and can essentially let their ability posses them. They are essentially as strong as what a conjurer’s being would be, but it’s within one mind so it’s perfectly in sync. Users can only manifest one ability corresponding to their classification. However, they can develop different techniques or variations of that ability over time. Mastery of abilities requires rigorous training and practice. Using affinities consumes energy, and excessive use can lead to exhaustion or even temporary loss of power. Certain classifications work well together, and some don’t. The protagonist was born with all 5 affinities, so he will eventually learn all 5, but he can use his holder type ability freely, which manifests as a scythe made to cut through anything. His ability is called the four evangelists, and each one manifests as one of the classes. He’ll be able to transform with his conjuration one day.

Best power system - dog ningen 💀💀💀

I love soul eater and fire force, atsushi ohkubo the goat fr

I have not watched this video: However, I personally don’t really like how convoluted jjk’s is: There are so many rules and restrictions that even with special abilities, the character powersets kind of blend together with a few exceptions. Personally, my approach to power systems is “easy to learn, difficult to master” for both the characters an audience. Introduce simple rules that give you creativity as well as make it easy to understand from the audience’s perspective. Simple rules also allow for creativity and evolution, this way the people who have become nerdy fans can overanalyze complex and weird ideas, as well as weird interactions. They can also obsess over every one in the universe. Meanwhile, casual fans still understand and don’t feel like they need to do homework to understand the fight/the author doesn’t have to tip toe and try to avoid breaking the rules of his own power system. Some good examples are JoJo, and weirdly enough, pokemon.

When did Monitor become Lux Denizen?

This video feels like it was written by AI with how little is being said

I want to make a power system similar to jjk’s but when ur born ur also born with other abilities similar to df from op stands from jjba and alchemy from fma thats a power system i would want to make there’s so much more i want to add but i need to make sure people are able to understand but this video really did help and i thank you

My power system is called Life Power. It's very limited as it doesn't appear from air and comes from the user themselves. If the user uses all of life power inside them they would basically die. And the key is that to recover this energy they have to steal it from other living creatures like animals, humans, plants etc. Every user has a unique power similar to jjk characters based on their believing, religion, mindset, understanding of what Life Power actually is. It might not be powerful to destroy planets for a human or any other living creature but everyone can reach that level of power by simply stealing energy from other creature. Fortunately my story building makes everyone on Earth not to know about this power and how it works. My main characters are the ones of the first people on Earth to discover this power, eventually it would spread over the globe but it would take some time. Also, there will be another limitations I will create for this power system in the future. But because this power is unknown basically for everyone, this gives me a lot of time to build a good power system at least until I reach the middle of the story.

I need help on my Magic Power System

I’ve been working on my power systems for a year now and I’ve been trying to make them work together

One thing I find unique about myself created magic system is the 'races'. Basically essence is the main energy that all magic users utilized to use magic, the 'Races' aren't really races at all too. For example : [ Sprites : people with naturally hazy essence which naturally leaks a lot, and also notably takes the form of fog as soon as it is released as pure essence as well ] The races aren't races but are simply just different types of people with different natures of essence.

Can you do a video on making mecha stories? I've been wanting to make my own mecha series that combines Real and Super. My series looks awesome in my head but when i put it on paper, it's a mess. Just to give you a basic idea of what i have, it's Brave/Yuusha meets Pacific Rim meets Gundam meets Power Rangers meets Transformers, it's basically a hodgepodge many mecha shows, games and such. It's too bad that i can't find any videos on this topic. Would love to see a how to on writing mecha stories

My power system in the story that I was writing since 2019 has no name but since this should be a no go , call it the seizei power system So the seizei power system is quite simple, it has 5 types of energy Sui (ligh , fast energy) tzui (heavy , draining energy) jargadi (heavy , slow energy) hanui (medium energy) and finally kamalpa'a (Mixed energy) The energy types are usually consumed from the surroundings of the character and no character can produce it naturally except...1 (which is the protagonist) , when a character in the world of munzeisei consumes for example energy by breathing or eating a certain fruit or taking an energy crystal with them they will be able to shape the energy into elements or weapons Sui is the most common form of energy (usually consumed from breathing in the deserts or by eating apples in the forests), it has a weak effect yet it is fast to use , you can make an airblade or a waterbomb using it , tzui is usually found in spicy foods , in the mountains, and or by getting struct by lighting , it is fast to use but it drains your physical energy quickly and also drains your psychotic stability , the more you use it the more it makes you crazy , tzui users usually make lighting with the tzui energy and can form metal weapons , jardagi energy is formed by someone feeling rage , but can he also consumed or absorbed by eating watermelons , though it will be less effective and less pure if it was consumed rather than formed naturally, jardagi users usually make stones and can create lava and flames and fire , they're strong yet they're slow when it comes to using energy directly hence why they usually make weapons more than using the elements directly , The last natural energy is hanui , which is medium energy, it was prophesied that all the magical energy that exists came from it hence the first part of the name (han) means hero , it can also mean east but that's a matter for another time [my story has a constructed language in it] , hanui is observed by a process called charging , it is basically sitting while relaxing , you may say "that's easy" but sadly hanui users are declining due to the Sui users dominating the sphere by using their speed to demonstrate that Sui is better than hanui and such stuff Hanui energy can form rocks water air small fires and many more , though usually hanui users use hanui energy to fix weapons not to create weapons , they're the backbone of most countries in the story , they're the ones whom make products and the ones whom don't engage in battle , hence most hanui users are women Though hanui is used for other roles than battle , in battle hanui users have the advantage of being able to form most materials and weapons and help others so they play a supportive role Finally Kamalpa'a also known as pa'a, the meaning of the name means (absolute power),it was made by the protagonist by doing something no one achieved to do , mixing all the energies ... Mixing energies together (in your body) can be semi impossible but when done creates an explosion called wasted power, so the protagonist hypothesized that this wasted energy can be purified.. Remember when I mentioned you can gain power by using crystals? Gaining an energy crystal can be easy but having a pure one is hard , see energy crystals are formed by people crystilizing their energy into energy crystals , the strongest and purest crystals are usually formed by energy masters (whom are usually referred by as topdogs in the story but their name in the local language is fugpashteyur-ians) the protagonist was isekaid to the world's story so basically his objective is opening a portal to go back to the protagonist original world ,he tries to combine energy stones to open a portal back to his world, unfortunately many (whom were isekaid beside the protagonist and before him even) before the protagonist tried to do the same but failed to do so ,the protagonist tried and failed with many methods but after 2 years he succeeds , one of his failed attempts made the kamalpa'a ,the protagonist did it by attaching eletronic wires to 4 high grade energy crystals into 1 empty hexagonal crystal and he consumed it , the kamalpa'a allows the user to make all elements and weapons the user wants and can make the user have heightened senses and even make explosions on command , it also can heals tzui users from their mental disturbance and can heal people kinda , it also gives the user the ability to regenerate their health quite slowly ,

I have 2 areas and four categories I use to examine power systems i haven’t came across any anime that can’t fall into these categories but i haven’t seen everything Natural. They follow the laws of physics in there universes and don’t change relativity. Physical/natural. The powers and abilities you are born with like (mha Baki and parasite) the limits of it are dependent on training and can potentially hurt the user if they over work it. Scientific/mechanical Using science to make tools and formulas ones that use this are like (full metal alchemist sword art online and most of the ones with giant robots) resources are what boosts them Unnatural. They bend the laws of physics to do what they want just that they can do it doesn’t mean everyone can. Magical. For some people It’s possible to learn hundreds of diverse spells or you could choose to just master one since learning spells takes time but can be upgraded or potentially given this one is like (Naruto jobless reincarnation that time I reincarnated as a slime undead unluck and dragon quest) mastery knowledge and creativity help this one the most. Spiritual. These power are erected by the users mental and spiritual condition and you can’t learn new abilities unless you have an ability That specifically allows you to steal copy or adapt and you can also make deals for power or set conditions for power examples are shows like (mob psycho HXH hells paradise chainsaw man jjk)

Nice, I have been writting a power system very inspired in Hunter X Hunter's Nen, and right now I'm looking for advide on making good hard magic systems, good thing this video just uploaded. I've watched the other 2 videos on this channel about magic systems but it's good that there's a new one, I love this channel, it's one of my favorites, always has a lot of interesting content.

Its funny that people unironically think something as garbage and unoriginal as JJK cursed energy is a good powersystem

meanwhile baki

I have a rough idea of how I want my power system to be but I have some loose threads I need to figure out about it

How would you balance two power systems existing within the same universe. Similar to one piece and jojo

Also since everyone else is doing it: my power system is a rock paper scissors format of “elemental, magic, and nuclear energy.” Essentially, they don’t hard counter each other, but they do have type advantage. They all have different levels of “power” and “control” which correlates with the political themes I’m working on. Elemental has precise control over their own element and mid power, so they defeat magicians with low power and high control over a certain aspect of reality like physics, but lose to nuclear users with little self control/control over others but high power. But magicians beat nuclear users much easier because they can control the battlefield and take advantage of the simplicity of the nuclear user. Tldr: rock paper scissors based on precision, power and control.

My power system is based on a army that captures and imprisons constellations and other similar spirits to give to their army. Creating a country full of oppression and little freedom. Until a small rebellious group decides to see if they are able to capture and steal other spirits in attempt to fight back

I'm finding a lot of faults in my magic system because it needs more limitations. I call it " Jung" ( sound it with a y) And it has 9 techniques that was given a specific limitation by the king of the land. How ever they are three rules the king can't make in regards to the magic users. 1. any user lacking a limb is not able to perform magic. 2. No specific user can be limited 3. Magic users shouldn't be prevented to kill But other than that it comprises of: Telekinesis which leads to weaker limbs Necromancy which shortens one's life span Therianthropy which makes people less prone to empathy Evocation which leads to a factoring of bones when not performed correctly. I feel like the limitations are less character focused. How do I fix that

If you have time, can you make a video about supernatural manga?

Still waiting for Kagura Bachi to explain wtf sorcery is and how it works 😔

Nowadays magic isn’t really magical anymore, so ig i gotta work a lot on world building to give it the right feel when its showcased.

Putting JJk in the thumbnail with all the bs that's been going on in the manga lately😂 Now I gotta watch

Jjks powersystem isn't complicated at all

Here's the power system I currently settled with for my story. Inspired by mostly prototype 1-3, parasite and Tokyo ghoul. In the story, infectees of a virus develop an ability made up of blood called ????(still thinking of a name). These abilities are bio-weapons that usually take the form of wings, tentacles/tendrils or blades. Wing types manifest on the mid-upper back Tendril types - mid-lower back?? Blade types - arms After 1-2 weeks of infection, the virus develops a bio-weapon designed to suit the host best in terms of fighting style, build and tactics. They are also a physical manifestation of the virus combined with the host/ infectee's DNA. They also tend to have organic features such as eyes or mouths (For example: a leech-themed tendril would have toothed suckers on the ends) They are made from red blood cells as well as muscle cells and can be manipulated by the user. As a result of this, the user's weakness is their heart as they're unable to circulate enough blood to the area of the bio-weapon. When they die, their bio-weapon loses it's shape and returns to a state of normal blood. I was worried about it being too similar to other abilities, especially Tokyo ghoul's and prototype's.

My power system combines superpowers and fantasy elements. It revolves around a connection with a God that is presumed dead, and in a turning point in their life, they can choose to sacrifice their power or part of their power for something greater as long as they have something called a Heavenly Reason. This also plays into the laws I have set for the power system and the various types of energy and unique elements. Everyone, no matter what kind of power, has a particular connection toward a certain concept. Those concepts include: Time, Space, Life, Power, Sight, Wisdom, Love, and Greed. These can alter how you perceive the world, and are directly correlated to your soul’s connection to God. Having a specific power can also make you more inclined toward a specific concept, and your race can also play a major role in how the powers of others affect you or how they manifest within yourself. If you sacrifice an immense power while having a Heavenly Reason, you could either gain something called a Heavenly Rite, a power that is governed very differently than the usual superpowers of the story, or have something more unfortunate happen. Mystique is a formidable force in this world where knowing your opponent is everything. Technique and Fundamental Law are the key elements of battle in my story, which I think is a unique change of pace within the realm of comics and manga, atm. However, I plan to publish as a book before anything else. I would go in further detail, but I think this is enough to get the idea across.

Hey man, a friend of mine is creating an original story and is trying to devise a power system but is unsure of how to proceed. Here is what he has so far. Characters even in the beginning of the series are significantly above the average human in terms of strength, showcasing superhuman levels of strength and durability that would kill the average human, due to their Arks granting them superhuman characteristics with elemental manipulation. It's nothing too original since elemental powers are basically the standard norm for most shonen works but he wants advice on how to make it unique. He is considering taking the Bleach route where the owner's weapons basically have their souls attached to their weapons but he feels that would be far too complicated. For each weapon, there's also a "release" command that was majorly inspired by Bleach where a user's power is multiplied by a factor of ten at the cost of increased stamina consumption leading to fatigue. He has played a lot of mobile games and is a fan of Arknights power system of Originium Arts, but doesn't want to copy it entirely. He is basically considering scrapping and starting all over since the power system he wants basically contrasts heavily with the story arcs he has in mind The worldbuilding he has so far is inspired by both Attack on Titans and Cyberpunk 2077 along with RWBY so he has that down. It's basically a dark dystopia-based work.

so the power system I have is currently in the works, but I'll try to simplify it as much as possible (Keep in note this takes huge inspiration from D&D, just to let you guys know) so the Power system is currently called Aura (I wasn't sure if that was a good name, so if anyone has another idea of what to call it, feel free to tell me). Aura, in simple terms, is the energy that permeates off of 2 main sources, kinda like radiation: the first source is the many different planes of existence, which are basically similar to D&D, but work a bit differently. they're entire different dimensions with their own form of the universe, and have their own living things, although what sets them apart from being a universe is that all periodic elements, laws of physics, placement of celestial bodies, etc. are the same (Ex. Hells solar system is in the same structure as ours, with the same number of planets, moons, a yellow sun, etc. Just that the planets and moons are different). the most important thing about each plane is that they have their own aura, which people can be in tune with to utilize the powers associated with that plane. For example: if i learned to be in tune with the plane of fey, I'd be able to do things like create Illusions, fly, alter my size, and dilate time. meanwhile if I became in tune with the plane of fire, I'd gain pyrokinetic abilities. the second source is called fonts, which are effectively huge collections of a particular form of aura found in one location, usually a place where it isin't native. these Fonts can be a lot of different things, including places, objects, or even inside of people. some forms of aura are even restricted to only being found as fonts, such as Ki(inside of peoples inner self) or divine aura (found only in gods and people & places related to them, such as their temples and followers). although these places can cause strange things to happen, such as opening portals, most generally are safe. In cases where fonts are people, which are generally called Sorcerers, they tend to be able to control their own sources, with the benefit being that they always have access to their powers from birth, at the cost of having a limited supply. this is unlike using the power of planes, which are practically infinite, but require training to use. Some individuals with fonts though, have learned to offer their aura to others, which allows those who have theirs to use their aura how they chose. these people, called Warlocks, generally have to give something to the one with the font to gain it, such as their soul, money, or needing to do favors for them. Some however, such as churches to a god or an paladin order, generally ask for simple requests, if any at all, such as doing good or serving a king or country. this is kinda the basic idea, and I'm not sure if theirs anything like the name I need to change. I'd like some advice.

Hello! I have a question in regards to one point you brought up. When you refer to ""specializations and advancements" what does that mean?

OKAY!! So this is my power system called Pneuma in my story/manga called Between the Rifts Pneuma is a biological substance that is produced in the body’s of an alien race called the Sui. The Sui are from another dimensional plane other than the current dimension where the story takes place. Pneuma gives the Sui supernatural abilities. Pneuma allows Sui to bend the laws of physics in 3 primary ways. These ways are emitting (being able to produce a physical embodiment or element forms one’s self), controlling (being able to/having a permanent physical change to one’s self), and manipulating (being able to manipulate aspects and functions of the world around oneself). Emit(ting) involves things in the story as being able to produce flames or a fog from oneself. However it means purely oneself so they cannot use fires that a preexisting and have not been made from themselves Control(ling) are things such as having a voice that is able to be amplified to sonic waves, or being able to bend parts of their body to extreme limit as well as wheels come out of one’s feet. Manipulate(ing) allows the user to take parts of the world around into their will by being able to shape and adjust the specific part. Such as being able to control tree roots or bending anything in a liquid state. This cannot come from them and can only be preexisting. However there is a 4th way that is completely separate from the rest. These users are called Causations which can only be activated through specific actions in order to use the power. This aspect is basically a cause and effect power, as in they can only do something in a specific way through a specific action/situation. Such as they can control someone else through looking at them in the eyes and touching them at the same time. Or they have to drink a certain amount of water in order to breath fire. Typically they are not element based but some are. Now I said that the Sui produce this substance in their body right? So then only Sui could have these abilities right? No, the substance can be transferred to another person who isn’t a Sui when that Sui dies. Then they get that previous sui’s power. But because they are from a different dimension, not everyone, and by not everyone I mean very little are actually comparable with Pneuma. In most cases that person/being dies but in a small percentage some do survive and obtain the ability of the previous Sui. There’s also techniques which are fighting stances which are not powered by Pneuma but instead by hard training and creativity.

I have several different power systems in mind. If you want me to, I could explain more, but right now, I wanna bring attention to one story idea I've thought up that's a little darker. Well... okay, _a lot_ darker. So basically, in this world, suicide is considered this ultimate sin. However, then a very good question came up: what if it is committed by a genuinely good person? So as to not need to overthink it, God decided to create a specialized afterlife specifically for such cases... and nowadays it's inhabited by monsters known as Phantoms. They have their own rankings and such, higher-ranked Phantoms being rarer, stronger, and more intelligent, but that's not what I wanna talk about. Instead, I wanna talk about the powers used to fight these Phantoms. The power system is relatively simple: when somebody goes to this specialized afterlife, they gain specific abilities based on how they died. For some examples, lemme use two of the three main characters. The MC killed himself with a knife, so he can now use said knife as a weapon. The knife is indestructible and never grows dull, and can always be recalled back to the user's hand. The main girl burned herself alive, so she has fire-based abilities. She can generate and control flames at will, basically making her the "mage" of the group. The world itself also constantly repairs all of the scars sustained by those who enter... aside from their actual suicide scars. This lets the girl in question act as the healer, since she can cauterize the wounds the other two members of the squad get and let the world's automatic repair system do the rest. Now... then we also have the Deadman State. Essentially, you have to be at least a little crazy to take your own life, and the Deadman State allows the characters to channel this innate madness to boost their physical _and_ special abilities. However, using it _continuously_ is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it lets you become accustomed to it, letting you remain in the state for longer. On the other hand, you kinda... don't _want_ to get accustomed to being insane, and if you overuse it, you risk passing a point of no return. At that point, you are stuck in this state _permanently_ and there isn't much anyone can do about it. The progress to that can be seen in the characters' hair, as the closer they get to this point of no return, the whiter their hair becomes. Think something like supernatural Marie Antoinette Syndrome. (If this was a game, then reaching a certain point while any of the main characters have fully white hair would result in a bad ending)

I dont really get the jujustsu kaisen complaint. Most abilities are pretty simple like blood manipulation,cutting stuff,magma etc. The only abilities id say are too overcomplicated(that i can think of of the top of my head) are kiraras wich ima be real i still dont really understand and yukis whose ability i can see being confusing to some people.

My 2 personal favorites are Jojos and hunter x hunter. The complexity, originality and usage are what makes me want to make an amazing power system with all the greatness of both. Of course the world is important to and again i want to make a mystical or whimsical world like hxh because of its mystery as well. How does the world work. Both those things from those series is what makes me want to do that, and sometimes i think i might not make a good one but with thought, time and imagination i could probably do it.

Any one understanding nen but not curse techniques is foul.

My power system is called magic and users of magic are called paladins. There are 2 parts of magic called magic reinforcement and magic sensing. Magic reinforcement scales based off of a paladin's magic control and passively increases a paladin's speed, durability, and attack power. Magic sensing grants a paladin precognition and allows a paladin to since another paladin's magic control. The other 2 abilities of magic are arcane flashes and arcane strikes version 1, 2, and 3. When a paladin performs an arcane flash their magic control drastically increases and it becomes easier to increase their magic control for now on. Arcane flashes also stack. Each of the arcane strikes grant a passive ability of your attacks that scale off your magic control. The other abilities aren't abilities of magic which will be important a little later. The abilities are called the awakened state and the mark. The awakened state grants 2 abilities to it's users. It makes its users totally invulnerable to all types of damage and makes it so the opponents your fighting can't use magic. When more than one person in a fight activate the awakened state something called a clash happens. When a clash happens everyone who's involved in the clash and have their awakened state active are unaffected by the abilities of the awakened state. When someone loses a clash their awakened state deactivates and the winner of the clash and how long it takes for someone to lise a clash depends on magic control. The final ability which isn't a magic ability is called the mark. Everyone is born with the mark and when it's activated they are unaffected by the abilities of the awakened state. The price however is that the longer you use the mark the worse your magic control gets. That is all ti my power system.

Dude, did you seriously just make a video about power systems that praised Fairy Tail and criticized Jujutsu Kaisen?

I’ve been really inspired by chainsaw man’s power system, that maybe I should make characters powers depending on who they are. But I’m thinking it could maybe also have to do with the chaos and desires. I’m also thinking of not just limiting it to humans and a big destructive, powerful creature to be an Elephant. I’m more leaning towards the who they are idea. I’m going to make almost all of the characters neutral. And make it have to do with the ying-Yang

i'm currently working on a anime project inspired by one piece, but before that the powers were a combination of magical girl charms and mha quirks, evolved into just quirks, then i discovered one piece and now i'm somewhere in between genshin ley lines and quirks and cookie run kingdom/witches castle and my own personal touches when it comes to the power system and worldbuilding

0:00 gonna try and see if I can't guess this.... should be about limitation and interpretation. I.e Fire powers With a simple ability like this it's more important to say what the user can't do then what they can do since,if you're not careful,it's real easy for a reader to start questioning "Why can't they just make a sun and blow up everything?" Interpretation is what makes the powers unique to how you perceive the ability and what properties of fire you choose to focus on (I.e temperature control,pyro kinesis,flame creation, propulsion etc) Be back to see if I'm right.

my power system is like a suit that spawns on your body from your chest. There are multiple levels to which you can summon it. While using it, it burns your aura source until it runs out, making the character weak. The level to which the suit can be spawned is dependent on the aura reserves you have created, during your training or the free time. The character ascends to the next level upon mastering the present level he is in.

7:06 i can't find this manga, can anyone give me the specific title?

I have a power system based on the twelve Zodiacs, or thirteen… I’m honestly not sure. Point is, the chi in person can be used however they wish, but the chi is also only a set amount. So if you have a small amount of chi, you likely won’t have any ability to use it on a gram scale. This is different for the Twelve Zodiac warriors. At any moment in time there are twelve warriors, when one of them dies, a new one is sought out to take their place. Whoever is south out gets not only their Chi, but the Chi of every Zodiac warrior before them. So if the Snake Zodiac warrior dies, the one sought out will have the combined Chi amount of every Snake Zodiac warrior before them. The Chi system is similar to Nen in that eventually, the Chi will be suited best to the person. What do yall think?

My power system introduces Wytai, magical objects that are actually the souls of those who died with a great amount of Meraki in their souls. meraki is a type of energy/aura that is created by human emotions

Since alot of people are sharing their power systems, I guess i would also do mine. Its called Ink and its basically heavily referenced by artistry or drawing in general as the more creative a person is, the more powerful the ink can become. Every ink user has an art (or ability) and alot of characters have arts that are accessible to anyone and are pretty basic (such as element manipulation) however some people have unique arts that can only be aquired through traits or special means which are called talents and these are unique arts that are different from the ones without talents. Despite the talents though, if your not creative with your art weather it would be talentless or with talent, your art would be weak regardless, so even if you have a basic ability such as water manipulation, depending on how you wield it, it would become more effective and powerful. Its pretty basic if you think about it but i got lots of ideas on how i would execute it. Thats just the bare bone explaination.

I don't think I'm creative enough to come up with a unique or well-written power system like JJK, HxH, Undead Unluck did with their power system. BUUUUUUTTTTTTTT I thought of one thing what if I take multiple power systems from multiple series (Like MHA, Naruto, One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul, AoT, Black Clover, & FMA) and have them merge into a single story and have it work with the World building of the series where one power system could grow and evolve or even Ascend in merge with the other (for example, I could have the my version of "Quirks" grow and ascend turning the characters into gods or have one or two character "Quirks" merge with their Spirit Energy Power or Their Magical Energy Powers)

I have a question what is the power system is a change to the world like people becoming less human does that mean something good?

My power system uses taoism, shintoism and summoning as its basis, cant wait to write more applications for it

YEAHHH

Power systems are what a japanese would call a sakura.

I made a power system based around dreams, short story short at one point in the 80s every single person was asleep at the same time (for like a second but still) and it mysteriously caused everyone’s dream to become linked and created the DreamScape. In this realm people dont dream but are dreams themselves, their powers are based on their goals and desires accumulating into one thing. One of the characters wanted to entertain people and her inspiration came from ciruses so her power is a ringmaster like one. People with nightmares that overpower their dreams will have powers based on those fears and such

the Nen system is so good that i still am trying to figure it out
