    4.6 Building a Superpower-Based Magic System
    Mar 18 2026

    Join us for a hands-on worldbuilding exercise as we create a superpower-based magic system by answering these 7 questions:

    1. Are the superpowers based on magic or science or both?
    2. Do the powers have a theme to them?
    3. Do people gain powers randomly, are they born with them, or can they acquire them in some intentional way?
    4. What can people do with their superpowers?
    5. What are the limits, requirements, or costs of having the superpowers?
    6. Are superpowers rare or common?
    7. Can a person only have one power, or is it possible to have many?
    8. How does society view people with superpowers?
