Secrets of Endari: Dev Diary #4 (Soul: The Magic of Endari)

Soul.

Developing a new magic system is one of the biggest challenges in creating a new fantasy series from scratch. "Magic" has been used in thousands of books in thousands of different ways. It's difficult to develop an "original" magic system.

For Secrets of Endari, I've created Soul.

You'll recognize its inspiration from classic magic systems, utilizing an "element" classification system. Though how the characters of Endari understand Soul is drastically different from the actual way Soul works. They understand some truths. They misunderstand many more.

There are seven soul-forms, as identified by the Soulic teachers of the Shendari Empire.

A strand of Life.

A flow of Air.

An ounce of Gravity.

A push of Fire.

A river of Water.

A tendril of Spirit.

And a siphon of Death.

From healers to fire-breathers to sky-mages and grav-engineers, the magicians of Secrets of Endari will dazzle you with their talents.

The cost of Soul use, though, no one truly understands.
