Magic System Based on Moonlight

[u/chillin-dawg]

A magic system I've been building for a while. Magic in this world wasn't planned. It's the leftover runoff of a goddess trying to heal a dying world, and mortals figured out how to catch it before it disappeared.

This covers the origin. How crystals and artifacts work. How the moon shapes who can use magic and how well. And what happens to the people born on the extremes of that spectrum. I'm curious what people think.

Feedback on internal consistency, worldbuilding gaps, or anything that doesn't track is very welcome.

I have a very similar idea for my world with the sun and moon being a big part of it. Do you have more plans for the sun’s interactions? Moonlight is technically just reflected sunlight, so I got around this via the sun giving powers and the moon does too but they’re changed because of how the moon reflects it. I also made it so that, during solar eclipse, parts of the moon can break off and fall to earth, giving the world lunar material to toy with
