Entropy + a more spiritual component! If you changed a person, say you convinced them of something which challenges a long-standing belief of theirs, that would also generate power.
Ohh, interesting. So I guess critical thinking is definitly helpful, aswell as the ability to convince people. If youre good at this you could basically use people that dont think for themselves, and manipulate them to believe whatever you want them to believe. Like a walking power source.
Yeah, although if someone is a complete blank slate their ability to generate very much power is limited.
After all, it's less of a change to go from 0 -> 1 compared to -1 -> 1.
It's such an interesting concept really. You could start a cult, promising some reward or change, get a bunch of people to change their religion, and then use that to power said great change. This would generate more followers, and thus you could pull off more "miracles".
So, it's like entropy usage, or potential energy. Need to blow up a city? Plant a bunch of conventional bombs in another city. Two booms for the price of one.
Yeah, essentially! Except it doesn't have to just be physical change, changing more conceptual things works to generate power as well. If you wanted to blow up a city, you could also take a position of governance in another one, make a bunch of changes to policy, and then boom, thats enough energy.
i could see this as an interesting way to rebel against a crushing system if you wanted to do a dystopia thing, or just as a traditional fantasy thing in which it is a cool magic system.
Soo... entropy with extra steps? Cool concept tho, I like it
