It’s not as much a concrete system, but I really like the powers and magic in Thistlefoot. They are manifestations of generational trauma.

Probs the magic system in the locked tomb series, love me a power system that involves sacrifice of your or other people’s physical health/organic matter

I’m a sucker for the classics, and it doesn’t really get more classic than the wheel of time. It’s nothing super unique, just so detailed and thought out across the series

That sounds like an interesting concept tbh

Surprisingly I haven’t seen any systems like that in my reading journey so far, but i feel like it always has interesting implications

I’m about 200 pgs into the first book, and the hints of it so far seem super interesting

Well, locked tomb is about necromancy, so it makes sense!
