When you cast from the planar source, you play with the building blocks of reality.”

I love playing just about any character during my solo gaming. There is something amazing in seeing a few jotted down lines grow into someone you really care about.
However, there is one thing that is kind of a pet peeve of mine: playing magic-users in solo campaigns. There is just something really cool about having a GM describe spell effects to a player, that I find a bit missing in solo play. I always feel like cheating when I cast spells in solo games! :)
Over the years I developed, copied, and hacked together my own system for substituting a free form magic system in place of a set system of spells.
I really like the way it turns selecting your character's spells into a moment of creativity! For me, its a great substitute for the GM describing my spell effects. It is also the main focus of the characters in my own setting: The Planar Frontier.
Hope you guys enjoy it as well :)
Cheerio!

I never play a m-u for the same reason — feels a bit like cheating! But I love this idea and I'm definitely going to try it out! 😁

Interesting concept. I will give it a try sometime.
