Old Drawing Board (2)

Well, after you have set down the basic laws (such as the three that I specified), you can begin to get mroe specific. I usually try to decide now how much different from our world the fantasy world that you write about is. Do we use powers? Can we, through purity and salvation and prayer, work wonders regularly? And are the powers of evil just as plain to see as the powers of good (and vice versa)? I think that I would like the miracles and powers shown by the "saints" (or those people who are close enough to God to work his wonders) to be quite straigtforward and open. Obvioulsy, certain feats take certain amounts of spiritual strength, and certain deeds cannot be accomplished without the help of certain blessed items (relics, holy water, etc.). {Ben's note: Hmm... this is turning out to be something that no one has ever done before. This could be QUITE interesting. I'll have to tread carefully so that I don't mess it up} So, there are the tools used to work God's wonders, there is the faith of the saints. Now, the evil side must perform certain rituals of evil in order to make themselves stronger, encompassed around with demons and writhing in the painful glory of Satan (hmmm. Kinda darkly poetic, eh?). Their powers won't be as strong, obviously, but they will come in numbers, because those that embrace Satan come in larger numbers than those who embrace Christ. I'll have to think more about this and write more later...
