How to Write a Battle Shonen Magic System 

Bro didn’t just cook, bro made an entire restaurant and gained a Michelin star

One thing I think you could have covered is depth versus breadth in a magic system. The difference between many different powers and the multiple methods of manipulating a single or few powers. Like Naruto versus Fire Force.

WORLD TRIGGER MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Your channel is amazing man keep it up

Cool vid

I decide on 3 factors versatility,balance,restrictions

honestly been wanting to make a power system myself, and still trying to add a few other cool ideas that overall fit the general theme of the story (the story itself takes inspiration from Mythology and folklore, as well as a bit from D&D, with the main idea being Radiation-like energy that can give powers). besides the common stuff like energy manipulation, flight, etc. I also added a few things that currently have a few names like "Boons" or "Gifts", which are a bit like Kenkai Genkai or Clan-specific techniques, but can theoretically be used by anyone as long as certain qualifications are met and aren't as Absurd compared to something like the Sharigan or Six-eyes. Currently, theres not many of them, but there is stuff like Animal speech (which requires someone to be a gentle person), the many different eyes (which vary, but a few include the Evil eyes, Wedjat Eyes, Third eye, and Divine/ Bifrost Eyes), Walking on Water, or even just being ridiculously gifted in one specific field to the point of being able to perform certain impossible feats (ex. being so strong you can kill elephants or being so good with music you can charm inanimate objects), along with others I might come up with later.

Overall balance is good but it’s not an absolute the problem with overpowered ability’s are 1 if you want that character to lose its incredibly hard to make happen 2 fights with that character are hard to make interesting but both of those problems can be sidestepped with clever writing some of the powers you listed in ability’s that were to op didn’t cause narrative problems in there story’s 1 made in heaven had a Believable defeat at the hands of a power weaker than it it’s fight was creative and the party turned the stand on its user multiple times examples would include Jolene warping her stand around the Dolphin to accelerate herself at the same speed as MIH and emporio Turning there in the poison that was accelerated into killing Pucci 2 copy sufferers from nether problem as well in one of your videos you Dissected the tactics of a fight yuta was in so it’s got creativity covered also yuta was not only defeated convincingly but he even had help when he lost as for the others you mentioned ya Susanoo turned fights into power levels the world was so broken Jotaro had to be given the same power and limitless was so op that domain amplification had to be introduced just to counter it and even then sukuna had to be given a power that came out of nowhere to win that fight

Well, i am trying to make one by nysekf, for future needs and cuz sometimes i think the systems we have arent that fun in the end. i like when there are lots of commun abilities and then the individual one, somethinng that Naruto and JJK promise but dont give

🍿🥤

when are you gonna make a video on your power system?

ohhh wolrd trigger yeeeee weeeee

How come you don’t do a “watch me design a power system from scratch” section at the end of the video? Or create a worksheet that we can all access on your website or something?

What indie manga needs 😂

What do you think of dragon balls power system?

Whats the name of the song used in the video please

I thought you didnt liked the concept of minor powers as they could be other characters' unique powers but are instead given to everyone. u said this in ur nen video

Great video but sometimes having powers that are far more powerful than others is an intentional and good writing choice. It just depends on the story and the characters.

Neat video, but the super power wiki is kind of ass. A lot of it is just the same nonsense copy pasted over and over again, and using it actively hurts your writing. I've seen this before, i knew someone who was trying to make characters and what not and their constant use of the super power wiki crippled them. It was like watching someone bash their head against a brick wall. Totally their fault, I know, but I do not trust that wiki as a source of inspiration for anything.

Broken powers decrease the interest in a character and story for me because it breaks my suspension of disbelief and makes everything feel too top-heavy and lopsided. The susanoo and the utlization of edo tensei were bad ideas in Naruto. I don't like Gojo's power set. I think several characters in Bleach are ridiculous. Shigaraki's quirk is nonsensically strong. It all just creates a scenario that says, "I should obviously win, so let's see how the author screws me over for plot." When the fact that it's a story written by a person with an agenda becomes too obvious is when the story hurts most. Ask AoT fans lol.
