Hey gang! Choro here and this month I'll be talking The Breakman - the story of a humble train worker's misadventures in a world caught between magic and science fiction. Really need to get the 'magic' part of that down, so... here I am!
This month we're talking magic systems! Whether you're building a new one or yapping about an old one, welcome!
Introduce yourself & your world, including the magic. Keep it brief so you still have plenty to talk about the rest of the month!

This is something I try to minimize. Indie TTRPGs have taught me to be judicious with proper nouns and terminology; they're an easy way to distance a reader. That said, a complete lack of them isn't credible and there's a few in The Breakman

Vocab time! Tell us about some important terms we need to know to understand your magic system. Obviously, make sure you include the definitions! 😁
As usual, interpret the prompt however makes sense to you! Don't feel limited only to conlang words.

I'd say the Breakman falls under Hard Magic primarily. The Empyrean, the field that mages draw upon, is an observable phenomena with consistent laws. The act of creating a new school of magic is setting your own laws and framework for the Empyrean 🧵1/4
Do you have a "hard" or "soft" magic system?
In other words, does your magic system have strictly defined rules (think: Brandon Sanderson's books)? Or is it more undefined, mostly vibes/rule of cool (think: Gandalf from LOTR)? Somewhere in between?

I'm backworking from the premise of The Breakman. A colony world torn between magical and SF great powers. I need both diverse magic types, to best avoid Planet of Hats and a reason for Mages to explore space. The Empyrean provides both.
Tell us about why you developed this magic system! What drew you to the concepts? Why did you choose to make it the way you did? Were you inspired or influenced by any other works?
