[Old Poll] Which theme would you rather have for Realm of Magic GP?

I mean, I want fantasy. Dragons, elves, etc. But I don't want fairies unless they're small mischief makers (who bite, maybe) and are very distinct from witches.

Which brings me to this. I want to get away from the 'witches.' Give me sorcerers, mages! A word change alone would get me infinitely more excited than calling them witches. It's a personal preference, I suppose, but let's take a page out of fantasy (and also D&D maybe) because I want a sorcerer.

All that said, I think if they're designed using a similar system to Vampires, it would be good. That way the magic is fully customizable, and no witch/sorcerer/mage is like the next, and they can be anywhere on a spectrum of 'good and evil' and likely a good mix of everything.

I ALSO super love the 'negative traits' part of being a vampire, and I think that could translate well into being a witch.

-Use too much magic? You've aged prematurely and now you're old! Wait until you can brew a certain potion or have enough energy for a specific spell to turn yourself young again
-Classic witch, warts and all etc etc.
-Excessive cackling
-Must drain energy from people for spells? A bit like a necromancer

And so forth, a variety of negative side-effects to becoming a magic user, the cost of it, so to speak.

That's what I want, whatever that falls under.

yeah except id hold you on that cackling one vampire hissing is really annoying already because vampires keep hissing and not doing things
