also can i just say. wild to me that intention magic is basically lucid dreaming but irl, which leaves me with Questions:
as someone with the ability to somewhat lucid dream, would i be at an advantage in learning/controlling intention magic?
as someone whose lucid dreaming seems to mostly be held back by a lack of awareness, waking up too soon, and most importantly, hypophantasia, would that last thing be a detriment to using intention magic or would intention magic potentially improve my lucid dreaming capabilities?
if someone lucid dreams would it be possible for them to accidentally use intention magic in their sleep? if an intention magic user has a nightmare could they inadvertently create a nightmare realm with them at the center until they realize that they're dreaming and wake up? (excellent horror fic potential there imo)
If someone was having a Really Bad Time and was fully convinced everything was out to get them, would intention magic speed up the process of that becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy? (excellent character angst/tragedy potential in there if so! amplify all your blorbo's worst fears into apocalyptic catastrophe!!!)
would someone with aphantasia struggle more with intention magic, or would they potentially have an easier time because they're not stuck in their own head trying to visualize it, they're just wanting and then doing with no "how" inbetween?
idk there's just a lot of cool worldbuilding questions/ideas around the concept of intention magic, and I love it as a system. It's simple and succinct but still leaves a lot of room to build more around it and i can't wait to see what the MQ fandom does once there's enough of us to actually like. collaborate on it :D
