I've been brainstorming some ideas on how to translate some aspects of my character's magic over to Idan's methods of magic and I'd like to run the core concept past you before I think any further.
From what I can glean from the info pages, my understanding is that Arcane constructs would typically require some kind of ritual and a power source. I imagine this requires a fair bit of preparation and there's a certain level of permanancy to the construct due to having a power source.
Assuming this, I was thinking of having my character specialise in fast and temporary Arcane constructs. The idea is that he would use wild magic to transfer energy from other sources (e.g. himself, his opponents, actively powered machinery, potentially the land?) through a prepared glyph (written in a spellbook or carved into lacquered wood? :|a) to quickly form an Arcane construct. However, since the glyphs functionally use his body as a magical transformer between energy stolen through wild magic and the Arcane construct, it wouldn't be feasible for him to maintain combat capable constructs for a long drawn out battle. Additionally, the constructs wouldn't be able to stray far from him, so if he wanted something like a flying construct to scout for him, he would have to go the traditional ritual method.
Does this sound like it'd be within Idan's magic system? I do intend to restrict what can and can't be done with these, if this base concept seems fine.
