lost in the desert

Tamsy Caines x Arkha Corvus

Corvus Remembers their Past Lives

Arkha's jinki is inherited within his family. Allowing him to reincarnate every other generation. And each life he never seeks out his soulmate, but they always return to him. Always the same Jinki, but a slightlt different personality each time. Always poised. Always cunning. Always attempting to use Arhka's position to serve their own lofty ambitions. This time his lover walked into his life as one of his Cleaners, Tamsy Caines. He recognized the man's jinki before anything else. Which made Corvus all the more suspicious. Not once in all their many lives had they managed to avoid each other longer than a few weeks after meeting again, but Tamsy expected him to believe that he'd worked with the Cleaners for years and they were simply amicable. Perhaps if it were anyone else, but not his soulmate.

⊹ How does someone get magic in the first place?? are they born with it, do they study for years, does it choose them, did they make a terrible deal with something they shouldn't have. this matters SO much for your storywhat are the limits. please give your magic limits.

⊹ What can't it do. what happens when someone pushes too far. A magic system with no consequences is so boring and also makes your plot unsolvable because why doesn't the protagonist just magic their way out of everything

⊹ Does using magic cost something? energy, years off your life, memories, sanity, blood. the more personal the cost the better honestly

⊹ How do people in your world feel about magic. Feared? Worshipped? Regulated by the government? illegal underground thing? totally normal like electricity? the social aspect is so underrated

⊹ Who has access to it? is it only the wealthy/powerful or can anyone learn it. Because that says a LOT about your world's inequality situation

⊹ Can it be taken away? stolen? blocked? this is great for conflict

⊹ Are there different types of magic or schools of it and do those groups like each other (they don't. they never do. use this)

⊹ What are the physical signs that someone has/uses magic. Glowing eyes, burns on their hands, going grey early, nosebleeds. Little details like this make it feel so real

⊹ Has the magic changed over time? like was it stronger/different a hundred years ago and nobody knows why what happened

⊹ is there a moral line that magic users aren't supposed to cross and who decided where that line was and why does your protagonist keep getting close to it?
