That actually sums up what I was thinking, only it's a little more organized. :p

I would assume that Skari would have a very small exhaustion factor then as she is constantly using her magic. Like 24/7 constantly.

Well, the thing is that she uses electricity magic, which does not have any type of special requirement like that. At the same time she mainly uses static electricity which she generates over time suing her magic. The idea I had about her is that pretty much, her mana regeneration is pretty much equal to what she uses to produce the static electricity. When she have that static electricity, she can do two things with it. She can either discharge it using conventional methods or she could use magic to discharge it in a better way. If she did use magic however, she would use up some of the magic inside her tiny mana pool and it wont regenerate for a long time as she use all of that to produce her static electricity.
The thing is that I really need some way or another for this to work out as Skari have very few things that differentiate her originally, so I want to at least keep this here. One solution to this problem could be to have something that affects how the magic is used on a personal level.

No, I don't think Skari would have a very small exhaustion factor. She may be using her magic nonstop but I don't think it means her Exhaustion Factor is next to nothing. It may be smaller due to the nature of her magic and what she does but not really small. It's a vague term but to help, just imagine if you lived your life always walking. Never once stopping. Now this wouldn't cause you to get tired if you always walked. You'd get used to it and your body would know what's happening. Now, try to run. Your body will eventually get tired and wear out. This is the principle of Exhaustion Factor. It doesn't apply when doing occasional or very non-intensive magic but rather when you strain yourself like attempting to heal wounds or engaging in strenuous magical combat.

Oh okay. That makes more sense. I thought it was more like a constant so it doesn't matter with the size of the magic. Only the amount of use (something Skari have lot's of).

@Katrix
Yeah. Of course, this is merely a concept of mine that has some unpolished areas to it. I can work on it further but don't expect too much.
@Isaac
The concept of Astra looks very promising. If you can work it and revise your app with this in mind, I'm certain that it'll be accepted. Looks like Cygnus might be coming to this RP, hopefully.

It's very hard for me to percieve this but I'm going off three factors for magic use on top of the requirements that SUSTIC described. From how I see it, a magic user needs to keep three things in check when using magic.
1. Mana. The basic resource of magic for users. Everyone knows how it works and what it's like so I don't need to explain.
2. Exhaustion. Magic users can get tired from overusing magic. This can lead to magic users struggling to use their magic or even overuse mana when performing magic. Exhaustion can be determined by the user's Exhaustion Factor and their overall health and fitness. The Exhaustion Factor is a scale of how easily exhausted a mage gets from performing magic. A higher exhaustion factor means the user becomes exhausted sooner. Mages usually train themselves extensively to lower this exhaustion factor. It is not possible to completely remove it but it can be reduced to a very small scale with great training and skill.
3. Special Requirements. These vary from element to element and can be a variety of things. For Lunar mages, this is moonlight and the presence of the moon. For telekinetics, this is just focus and calmness. These requirements can also be non-specific and even overrule entry 1.
I can be wrong on this but it's what I've had in my head for quite a while. It could be disregarded as bollocks but it's what I've been going with. Not sure if you guys agree.
This is accurate. I'm also working on making a list of all the special requirements.
Fire is a more energetic based element, and can be fueled by either anger and hate, or intense passion to get or do something.
Water is more calm and mellow, it requires a calm mind, and a strong will.
Ice is more cold, and solitary. A person who is naturally cold to others in terms of personality is bound to have a better time with this magic, while it's also true in the opposite direction. The more happy, and cheery one becomes the more beautiful, and focused their Ice Magic can be.
Lightning magic requires Focus, and brain power due to it's nature. It's a bit more technical in the sense that it is generally more accurate, and can be devastating in large doses. While in smaller doses it can still be effective to not even effective at all.
Rune Magic is slightly similar to Lightning magic in terms of the requirements. Almost anyone can learn Rune Magic, and in fact over the course I will be allowing some of the characters learn a few Rune Magic spells. What's needed is Knowledge of the Runes you are going to draw, and among other things large magic reserves. As actually activating the Runes takes magic. There are still downsides. Those with say fire magic can't learn water and ice type Rune spells and vice versa. Same goes with Light Magic, people with Light magic can't learn Rune Spells of any Dark type element and vice versa. However anyone no matter what happens can still learn the basic barrier, trapping, and healing Rune Spells due to those spells being neutral in terms of element.

Is it just me or does everyone but me have some kind of 'dark', solemn, or 'oh-pity-me' kind of backstory? Why can't we just be happy for chrissake?
