Title: Essence (Revamped x 2)
Post by: Zero on May 23, 2010, 08:14:22 AM
A power created to rival magic by the Embodiment of Gravity as it was tired of watching the sages go at it day in and day out and rule while those weak at magic could not do anything to protect themselves besides relying on technology to provide solutions for them and so it created the power in those born weak at magic,the power to control gravity and thus use it to control other things akin to how magic is used but different since it is not truly magic.

That's just stupid. It created something like magic to give those without magic an edge. But guess what boys and girls?! It's still magic in so many ways of effect. And wait till it learns it gave the most stupid characters ever, that ability. No.

Amisdt all this revamping, you STILL haven't explained how essence is different.  Painting a fence black doesn't make it a whole new object entirely, you've just made it look different. This is exactly what you've been doing all this time instead of actually changing the base of the entire thing.

How about this: Instead of energy/chemical reactions/everything everyone has already done, use something different. And don't tie it so similarly to magic like you've done for the past two topics.
