The available categories cover several familiar fantasy traditions while leaving room to reinterpret each result for an original setting.

Building Magic Into a Fantasy World

Useful fantasy design gives power a boundary. Costs, limitations, consequences, and social context create choices instead of effortless solutions.

How to Avoid Overpowered Magic Systems

Treat each result as a starting point for fiction, tabletop adventures, character hooks, setting notes, or collaborative improvisation.
