In this world I've imagined, Elemental energies are dense and volatile causing natural disasters and creating elemental beasts.

To remedy this, a Crowned Wissen built temples in specific elemental dense zones which is meant to absorb and refine these energies into crystals for domestic purposes. For example, Fire crystals for cooking or blacksmithing, and Earth crystals to strengthen cities from quacks. Of course humans being as we are used them to fuel war efforts.

A few centuries later, a world wide revolution started by a Scholar over the fact that being a Wissen isn't a bloodline thing, was not going well as planned, he then strived and achieved Crowned status. He repurposed the temples to then inject the refined energies into the commoners of his revolution, allowing them to control the elements.

The Nobles then locked in and produced more Wissen than ever before and won the war. They kept the temples because the Elementalist couldn't threaten them, they also discovered hundreds of humans absorbing from the temples worked better to reduce elemental density, and also letting powered commoners battle elemental beasts worked better than them doing it.

But the number of repurposed temples were made lesser in number than the temples making elemental crystals.

        A Piece of Worldbuilding.

The world has the classic, fire, water, earth, and wind, with the addition of Aether. At the beginning of civilization, those who invented written language, agriculture and governance became Royalty with their helpers becoming Noblemen. They were able to do amazing things because for some reason their Knowledge and practiced wisdom gave them access to Aether which made them Wissen(Noble mages) giving them protector status, further legitimizing their rule.

Later generations of rulers chose to indulge rather than apply themselves, decreasing Wissen numbers.

Before the Great Revolution, public libraries were a thing though rare, built by Wissen philosophers which created Scholars(Commoner mages), who lessened administration burden on Nobles. These structures were destroyed after the War.

The locations of the Wind temples were lost/hidden after the War. Only Wind crystals are occasionally found to make weapons and Flying Ships.

Binding Vow magic was created to still make use of commoners who were willing to sell their lives to visit a nobles' private library, and carry Noblemen burden. The class of Scribes was created, carrying the Nobles' disdain and a shame on what Scholars used to be.

......

Rangers are a militant force created after the war by The Executives(a Wissen council of sorts) to be a borderless peace-keeping and judiciary force in the continent. Think of them as the Marines in One Piece.

The Nobles didn't know a concrete way to reach Crowned status. Those who reached it all said they found themselves emotionally and mentally.

It was later discovered that one has to unlock all their Chakra paths to achieve Cosmic awareness at the Crown Chakra point.

A Crowned Wissen can do anything an overpowered magic user does in fiction.

       The Magic Part.

Elements. | Subjectives.

Fire- Flames,heat,lightning,Smoke

Wind- Any airborne

Water- Ice, Steam, Fog, Rain,

Earth- Metal, Wood(Healing/medicinal essence and Poison), Minerals

Wissen arts are basically magic. They use poems, written language like hieroglyphics, gestures and movements, large or small for different spells and effects.

If a Commoner wants to be an Elementalist, he/she by 15yrs old has to travel to a temple. Everything else is determined by Chakra paths one opened before or during Altering( a play on the words, to alter and a temple's Alter).

From;

The way one releases his element.

The unique way one uses it.(Throat Chakra)

The Strength and Stability of your element(Root Chakra). Whether an Earth wall can withstand an attack without crumbling.

The Output/Feats(Solar Plexus Chakra). Creating and destroying large landmasses

The Sub elements one unlocks(Heart Chakra).

The limitations/quirks. Whether one can condense water attacks or has to have an existing source.

Also Quirks like Earth dive, personal zones, small electromagnetism, quacks, or sound.

.......

The Altering process encases the participants in crystal where they undergo elemental resistance and gain enhanced physique.

Also if one hasn't opened any Chakra paths before or during Altering,he/she gets dissolved and absorbed by the temple.

Brutes are people who refuse Altering for various reasons but have enhanced stats. They use elemental beast's blood,heart, marrow, and spinal fluids to body build beyond peak human levels.

The Commoners had no knowledge of Chakra paths or how it affects their powers until the current timeline where a series of events brings it to the open.

Three levels became achievable.

1. Burst- opening three or more paths. Being on par with Scribes/Scholars.

2. Integrity- opening AJNA Chakra. Becoming a threat to Wissens.

3. Crowned- opening the Crown Chakra. Obtaining Conceptual level abilities related to an element equivalent to an Adolla Link.

And questions and feedback are welcomed.

Biolectricity is a power system I came up a few days ago and I'm fleshing it out. I've only got the 10 basic Charges so far but there is also 10 more powers that can only be accessed by "Gigajoules" who gain legendary status and power when they obtain the enhanced powers.

Theres a few way to obtain the powers, 1) Be Born into one 2) Get a Fuse Breaker to give them to you 3) Get stuck by lightning (and live not guaranteed) 4) Kill a thunderbird and eat its Bioelectric organ. If you have any feedback Ill be happy to listen to it

I'm making a power system based on the elementary particles, with some philosophy mixed in.
I've found the base I want to build my power system on, but now I'm struggeling with ideas on how to handel the next layer of complexity.
I just wanted to ask if someone had a good idea on how to handle BARYONS, MEISONS and the even more complex groups of particles.

[philosophy]

There are 3 core aspects of a person: the MIND, BODY and SOUL

The MIND controls the other two. It is the most complex part.

The BODY supports the other two. It has a srtucture that allows the others to interact with the physical world.

The SOUL is the only component that isn't required for autonomous movement, but it is what makes humans special. The SOUL is a gateway to something deeper, something more meaningful. It is the source for passion.

[power system]

The SOUL is also a litteral gateway to the fourth dimention, supplying the body and mind with GAMMA ENERGY. This energy carries ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARGE between different mediums, it has no mass nor charge, and is the most pure expression of energy.

GAMMA ENERGY can be used is a multitude of different ways. Most commonly: Enhancement, external energy attacks and Pair Production.

First, Enhancement: GAMMA ENERGY passivly flows through the BODY. By activly strengthening the flow, you can enhance your physical stats like strength, durability and agility. It's like tensing a muscle.

Second, external energy attacks: GAMMA ENERGY isn't limited to only inside the BODY. You can consentrate the energy by focussing it into a single point. This concentrated energy can be fired (among other things) with the use of diffrent techniques (e.g. energy blasts/beams)

Finally, Pair Production: This is the most advanced use of GAMMA ENERGY, and the gateway to the rest of the power system. By landing a powerful physical attack while applying GAMMA ENERGY to that attack, that energy get's converted into different types of energy or particles.

The most common of these new types of energy is BETA ENERGY.

BETA ENERGY includes BETA+ and BETA-. They are eachother's opposites. They have the same mass, but opposite charges. If they come in contact they'll annihilate eachother and return to GAMMA ENERGY. (It returns the same amount as it took te create them)

BETA ENERGY can be used in the same way as GAMMA ENERGY (not for Pair Production), just with different effects, depending on the charge you and your opponent are using.

Opposites attract, equals repel. This means that if your attack is imbued with positive energy, and your opponent is defending with negative energy, the attack will do more damage. If your opponent defends with positive energy, the attack will do less damage. If the opponent was defending with neutral (GAMMA) energy, the attack would slightly bypass their defence, still causing them damage.

BETA ENERGY is (unlike GAMMA ENERGY) dangerous to the user, even in it's resting state. Since opposites attract, you have to activly spend energy to keep them seperated, otherwise they'll just annihilate and turn back into GAMMA ENERGY.

If you have a surplus of a single type (+ or -), since equals repel, your BODY will ripped apart, causing great damage.

[idk yet part of the power system]

BETA ENERGY isn't the only thing Pair Production can produce. It can also create UP and DOWN QUARKS, as well as their anti counterparts.

3 QUARKS can form a BARYON. They can have interger CHARGE from -1 to +2, with 0 and +1 being the most stable.

(?) BARYONS can be used to channel BETA/GAMMA ENERGY through to use a different technique/ apply a concept/ ???.

(??) Maybe something with forming atoms, but I don't know what to do with those...
