We had some for musicians.

Oh yes, musicians and a clown. I don't know why I remember it as a circus performer. No, my little fools are definitely clowns, but not in terms of the lore.

I would limit magic by simply using spell cooldowns (i.e., no mana). Within the lore, magic absorbs elements from the surrounding environment, which makes it infinite within a specific planet. However, casting spells on barren wastelands is problematic without an external source. That said, some creatures generate their own energy independently. Nevertheless, I initially designed the Aberrant faction inspired by Lovecraft, so magic with a threat to sanity also exists, but it's not the classic kind.

I asked for criticism of the system, not of the lore. Moreover, there isn't even any lore in this post.

I'm talking about my own experience. Right now, I'd be giving advice to new players.

Ah, in that case, my apologies.

I had an idea to describe the effects of fate cards not just in any way, but in the form of couplets (with an explanation, of course, but I don't know when to provide it - immediately or only after receiving the card; the latter seems more fun). The couplets give hints about some effects that are initially blocked, but I think this is appropriate - we need something to base our theories on. I can't help but share some of what I came up with.

You appeared in the world as a wizard,
But expect trouble with any magic.

A creator can give so much to the world,
But his task is to create, not to destroy.

Once again, the grim reaper swung his scythe,
Bringing the end that everyone hates closer.

You are quite a strong fellow,
Magic won't affect you here.

You, sir, are a remarkably clever rogue -
Even gossip won't find anything on you.

One blow - and you fall to the ground,
But your blade strikes fear into the hearts of your enemies until the very end.

Is this related to Alaria?

There, it should also be mentioned that he had immunity to curses.

I used to only level up strength and stamina throughout the entire game.

Oh, it's Guyon and the event with the sphere.
