Debating whether or not to implement a more similar to traditional magic to my story, that I am working on, or whether the strange shards in the story will be the cause of stronger than normal power/ability instead of direct control by the user more a cause and effect system. The issue however comes into play when we consider that some of these shards are conscious beings which we have explained for now to be a trick on biological beings to do the radiation in essence consciousnesses made from energy. Problem being the setting is medieval style meaning it will be harder to properly implement the ideas used here. That being that one shard can be a weapon or healing artifact while another can contain a consciousness. Some thoughts for that were the origin of the shards was to be multiple meteor strikes on the planet throughout its history bringing these shards from long distances. Here a brief snippet on what goes through my head on a daily basis hahaha, thanks for reading. -Spindel
