The Shadow Of Fate

Hello, dear readers! I'm the author of The Shadow of Fate, and I wanted to take a moment to share some insights into the power system featured in the story. I understand it might feel unique so I decided to explain it here for clarity.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey through the world of The Shadow of Fate.

With gratitude,

The Author of The Shadow of Fate

The power system works like the solar system in a way. The heart acts as a sun, and the planets are the power sources. Let's take Lazarus, for example. He uses blood magic, but a planet that gives you the power to use blood magic doesn't exist, so he uses Aquael (Water Planet) for support. You might wonder, how do they create planets and is there a limit?

Question 1: The Celestial Vitae system allows the user to breathe mana in from nature. The mana is then forced into the shape of a planet and filled with mana until it's full, creating a planet. Even though I say it's a planet there isn't a planet around your heart something the size of a marble is, the amount of mana it takes to fill it up is incredibly high. The more planets you try to obtain, the higher the amount of mana needed. If you're wondering how the user chooses a planet, they don't. The planet chooses the user based on their magic potential.

Question 2: The limit depends on how much mana your body can take. Jaba was the only person to have 9 planets, and he had the planet Chronus, which is a planet that only has 1 user so far—Jaba. Most people can now get up to 4 planets, and even then, they are called Supreme Mages. I'll list the names of the planets. Hope this makes things easier to understand!
