@r-m-archer   Good, I’ll tag you in it.😃

Hmmm, my magic system is more nature-based. Do you know how the stereotypical superhero backstory has them falling into a vat of toxic waste, but instead of dying, they get superpowers? Well, in mine there’s a certain mineral that has toxic properties, some who come in contact with it become ill, develop minor mutations, or die, while others seem to gain otherworldly powers or abilities. There are those, especially among the poor, that take the risk because the crown puts those who gain abilities to work, sometimes in the palace itself.

I don’t know why, but your description made me think of a sci-fi version of Elantris; which is an amazing book, and if you haven’t read it I would highly recommend it. I really like books that delve into the political intrigue of the world.

Do you have a particular plotting method you’re using or is it more of a skeleton draft plotting?
