economic analysis of the minecraft universe

magic in dark souls is pretty cool. All of it is essentially a metaphysical embodiment of "something". Miracles are literally powered by you having more faith in the gods and reading scriptures, pyromancies (sort of a mistranslation, they aren't really connected to fire only) are tied to making emotions physical. Sorcery comes from making whats in your brain real. Hexes/Dark Magics draw from negative feelings within humanity. It's not always super complex in the game itself but it fits in very well with the lore which doesn't ground itself in anything based in real life at all. Need to learn more about Elden Ring's, I like how much more diverse it is, but the conceptual/emotional edge really made Souls' system more interesting to me.

alchemy was really cool because just about everything they did you could think to yourself and figure out exactly why it worked, I really need to reread fma

Nen is the best executed ive seen even as a Stand biased guy what sets Nen apart from most other manga power systems is the fact that it is almost fully in the hands of the user, and the characters actively create and develop their own powers based on their own lives and experiences. Stands, Devil Fruits etc are all arbitrary, you're stuck with what you get.
