So, on the thread, I just wanted to see if I could ask one question about a part of the system, which I honestly think is very innovative and I love overall ^~^ It lets me do exactly what I have planned with my character, so I honestly thank you for making it.
The section I had a question about was this:
Transfers lower your magic power by one full rank: Because you transferred your elemental power you are now weak in that department and are now one rank lower than you were before, meaning it would be wise to only transfer elements if you are retiring ect if not, perhaps you are good with weaponry.
I just wanted to get some explanation I guess on why this is necessary. I had a few thoughts on why it could be removed, but I may not be looking at the bigger picture of balance, so please let me know what you think.
First reason to remove it is that Slayers cannot get a secondary type of magic anyways; they are only allowed to get up to three different types of their Slayer magic. This limits them until someone decides to retire, likely, which is a bit much.
Second reason to remove it is that it basically encourages Slayers to get lacrima instead of having character interaction and development. Lacrima don't make anyone reduce their magic power by one full rank, and they can still, I believe, get the type they want. So people will just choose lacrima all the time, but I think people should have the choice to choose one or the other. This rule, however, severely limits them and even punishes them for trying to share their magic with other Slayers, who will just get a lacrima instead as it does the same thing, but avoids character interaction (which is fine if the character wants to avoid character interaction, but inhibiting for others who don't.)
Third reason to remove it is that it's not canon; Slayers do not lose a rank of their magic power when giving their magic to someone else, but furthermore it is completely just an negative and deterring rule that, in my opinion, makes no sense. Please give me some feedback, I'd appreciate it ^~^ Just want to discuss the rule, and there's no right or wrong answer, but I just wanted some explanation and reasoning behind it. Thanks~
