    Wrote 600 words last night bringing the percentage complete up to 23%.

In keeping with The Black Hack, they are brief, but helpful. Despite my attempts to make something that is traditional RPG fantasy, races are a bit different. The inclusion of Shobolan (ratmen) isn't the same as Skaven.

The force of magic is seen as a universal energy that permeates everything. Magic is defined by two sources and five reagents. The two sources are earth and water. Earth is raw magic, water is life.

The five reagents are Stone, Metal, Wood, Air, and Fire.

Stone is seen as a gatherer, collecting or concentrating magic.
Metal is seen as a nullifier or a leech. It serves to dispel or dampen magic.
Wood is a diffuser of magic. Plants and wood allow magic to flow into and through all things.
Air is a transformational agent of magic. Air is not seen, so it is the least understood.
Fire is a purifier of magic.

Hopefully more written tonight and tomorrow!

    No writing yesterday, offline busyness. Should be writing tonight.

Hopefully today will bring dwarf/elf/gnome/human/shobolan descriptions.

Shobolan, you ask? Ratmen, of course. I felt like I needed to add in a Shobolan Pinchpenny background. Writing that lead to three more backgrounds.

Thus, a fifth race was added.

    Wrote another 800 words so far today. This finished up the backgrounds, including a non-standard fantasy race. This update also defined four classes.

If you are familiar with The Black Hack, it's the standard four classes. I plan to add a Summoner and possibly one more.

This puts me sound 17% complete for my first draft.
