OK, so the Magic System Should NOT be time-based. As seen briefly in the Castle RP, it is fairly easy to exploit that (Rojinn, my Lightning Staff being the prime examples, and the Magic Bag isn't exempt from what this is like.) because you can store power in them to use later. I would suggest a strength-based system, but that would be incredibly difficult, and (should be) incredibly limiting. If you simply have XYZ spells and can use them as much as possible, that might work, but that has problems of it's own in how people can abuse that.
I'd say that you do something like this: Each character with magical ability can use their spells as much as possible (limiting how powerful spells can be) but they need a Staff or a Wand to access it. They start with a wand or a staff, and it is difficult to make a new one. Therefore Spells can have a larger power-to-points ratio, but they come at a risk.
Why would it matter what the characters are like before determining what the characters have effected? wouldn't it be the same for each race regardless?
I agree with his ideas of giving a character unlimited access to spells, but if a character gained access to very powerful spell, that would lead to one character dominating the RP. Perhaps every spell from Tier 3 down has unlimited uses if learned, but spells from Tier 4 and up take the allotted amount of time.
Also, using only a wand or staff as a channel for power would limit creative characters. I think that something like a talisman would be a viable channel for magical power.
if somebody think of a really good power, then they can dominate as well. Also, If you notice I did say that he should limit what spells can do somewhat. I mean, if someone gathers a band of 20 men, and has a spell that can be put on a sword to shoot lightning, then he'll dominate the RP.
This is a valid point, the idea was just a rough one, I wasn't thinking of all the possibilities. Although I'll note that they should still be just as difficult to fine.

There aren't many OP powers that could exist from Tier 3 down.
Of course, any item that channels incredible power should be rare.
I have come to a sort of decision regarding the Roleplay. By that I mean I want your help making my decision. So if you're interested in seeing this RP, or even if you're not but still want to give your input, go here to cast your vote.

For any of you who haven't seen that topic, but are still around here, the vote is over, and I am going to try to run the first little adventure. I will resume my work on the rules this week. You may now submit characters, either here or in the voting topic. Just submit them like you would a character in any RP, though try to be as detailed as you can. Visit the Castle Roleplay Lore/Worldbuilding Topic for information about this world. I will deal with the numbers and stuff, so don't worry about that.

I might use either Valithor or Casúr, but I also want to try a different race. Choices, choices....

I suggest not using either of them. The two Roleplays could theoretically be happening side by side, although this one is meant to be set after my next Event, assuming the Xains don't win.

Here's my profile, or part of it, depends how much I get done
Name: Khamar Heartrider
Race: Kriatoma (Grayling)
Weapons: Flammenschwert, dagger, crossbow
Class: Knight, and limited magic user (Max Tier 3, with difficulty)
Description: Khamar Heartrider has a quite slim build and has a look of knowledge about him. His weapons appear basic, but are incredibly strong and powerful. He wears very little armour, only a little on his arms, allowing him to move quickly and attack quicker. He is an expert duelist and a good marksman due to all the time he spent training before going into stasis.
Backstory: Like most Graylings he comes from a small island in Oruthal, and in the days when there were more of them he trained with them, becoming an expert with his flammenschwert and a good marksman with his crossbow. Hundreds of years before the current events he went into stasis in a small cave on an island of Oruthal, and only came out of stasis very recently. After he came out of stasis he traveled around the world, finding out information about what happened while he was in stasis, before arriving here.
RuleJJ, I've kept the description and backstory brief because I don't know that much about the Graylings. Hopefully you're OK with me using a Grayling character, I decided it would be very interesting and I hate RPing as a human (I've had a lot of RPCs, and none have been human) Please suggest changes based on what you know about the Graylings, I know this probably won't fit very well.

Oh, and for a magic system I suggest you can only use each Tier of spell every couple of posts.
T1- Every post T2 - Every 2 post ect.
Also, for imbuing objects I suggest they get a certain amount of 'charges' depending on the Tier of spell used to add it, and that only very weak spells can be imbued (E.g. Fireball or Lightning) More powerful objects must be found, and the method of creating them has been lost for a long time.

You can use a Grayling. I'm in charge of numbers, so I'll keep him from being overpowered.
Well, for one thing, Graylings don't really use magic, or crossbows, or armor for that matter. But it seems like he could be sort of an outsider, so it's not impossible.
{JAMMERS! -masterlegobuilders- ONLY!} The reason I say he could be an outsider is that pretty much all of the Graylings went into stasis in the same place and they'll all leave it together.

Right.
Well, not so much an outsider, just...different. I'll remove all the armour, I don't really like it now.
{JAMMERS! -RuleJJ- ONLY!} Mmmmmm. Right. My idea with him is that he's woken up a bit early, partly due to him being 'different' (Not physically, just socially and mentally) But if that suits better, sure.

{JAMMERS! -RuleJJ- ONLY!} I am thinking about porting him into the RP after the Xain Empire invasion event. I think it would be very interesting to see how he interacts with the other Graylings. I'll make him more of an outsider in my revised profile.

Sorry I didn't vote! Also, if you don't want me using Darthraxx for whatever reason then I'll make a new bio. Since Darthraxx needs to dissapear for a while in the Castle RP, then why not include him in this? At least for a while.
Name: Darthraxx Dragon-Slayer, Rider Of Dragons. Race: Human Class: Knight and Magic-User (Rune-user too if you are including that here.) Weapons: Magical Staff, ### Sword. Description: Aged at around 17, Darthraxx used to be the King of the Dragon Knights. He has dark brown hair, is mildly scrawny and a gifted fighter. Backstory: Darthraxx once came from a little farm, but when his home was destroyed by the Darkness, he set out to join the dragon knights and rid Darkness from the world. He became a gifted Mage, creating several new techniques with the New Magic, and also became the Dragon Knight's King. He has a Stone Dragon named Rojinn.
If you don't want me having Darthraxx, just say the word.
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.

It's fine. You probably shouldn't use Darthraxx because I don't really want the RPs to intersect, and if I do any adventures beyond the first one the timelines may conflict.
Please suggest changes based on what you know about the Graylings, I know this probably won't fit very well.
