I am currently writing an epic fantasy that is a mix of dungeons and dragons with a little bit of anime and discworld. My main character is a sword mage whose main attack is to fire a sword beam at his enemies. Visually, it would look like Ichigo from the Bleach anime. But I have no idea how to...

Background: The scene involves a very decisive battle between the northern Kingdom of Hydir and the forces of the Ezkai Empire. The first part begins with a field battle outside the capital. The Hydirian forces are losing, but this is merely a diversion. Within the castle walls, a very old...

Thank you. That is actually very helpful. I'm thinking a way for mages to store their already prepared spells so that for him/her to use a spell, they say a key word and it appears from the stored object. It will either be a staff or a book. Also, the god weapons' power only works in the...

Ok. I want to have the magic in my world be powerful, but not overpowered. Like no magical spell is instant, but takes a lot of work to use. But at the same time, I don't want to depower magic so much that it seems like why did I bother putting it in. Also for many of the "magical" weapons that...

I just want to point out that Stormbringer had thousands of cousins that were demons shaped like a sword. Only two were in the mortal plane: Stormbringer and Ebonblade. Second. In my story, magic is very powerful, but it is not treated the same way as in Harry Potter or Wheel of Time. In...

Not to be a cynical jerk, but the philosophical question of the nature of good and evil is a question that has existed for thousands of years are you will see over and over again.

Thank you. That is one of the many problems I have with A Song of Ice and Fire. Despite George RR Martin saying that there are no good or evil characters, many of his characters ARE good and evil. Cersei is an example. She follows after her father. Both Tywin and Cersei never truly loved their...

I have Asperger's myself and know what is it like. But I think that it is possible for people like us to become good writers. If you want my advice, take a few acting classes. They helped me understand people's facial expressions and body language. I know it can be difficult and I'm still...

This isn't a show off your monster design kind of thread(Though you did put a lot of detail into them). I'm just trying to create evil creatures that aren't to stereotypical orcs, goblins, or imps that are seen as part of a Dark Lord's army. I want to create monsters that actually pose a threat...

One thing I hate about most Epic fantasies is that no matter how much the forces of the Big Bad are built up, it turns out that they are nothing more than a bunch of human-like creatures with vast numbers. In my story however, because of important story stuff, the Dark God Valestir is unable to...

Ok here is how magic works in my world. Anyone who practices, uses, or does anything with magic will automatically be hunted down and burned at the stake. Weapons created by magic are ok because, there is no way to tell if a weapon is magical unless you are a mage. Certain magical weapons, like...

Because he is the Emperor's favorite nephew and it means that he is now Heir to the Throne.

People using magic is punishable by death. Using magic weapons is ok.

In my world, magic is a prominant force but its not as common as in most fantasys. First off, all magic is punishable by death. After an event called the Mage War, most of the planet was left in ruins, causing all technology to revert back into the Dark Ages. Mages still exist, some actually...

It is called Luckbringer because everyone who has grasped the hilt in battle has brought prosparity to the Empire. Its true name, which has been lost for thousands of years, is hybrid language of Norse and Japanese. But I like your idea.
