User blog:Carcinomas/so what do you guys think..?

so i'm in the process of making a character who uses magick and spells w/ a mage's staff that doubles as a gun (i'm kinda on the fence about that still???).

so here's my rant. feel free to ask questions if you're don't quite understand! ;u;''

the way weiss uses her dust and glyphs would be how he casts spells and uses it as an offense or defense.. so basically he'd use his glyphs to travel around (moving him from spot to spot, moving him forward or backwards, or using them to hoist himself into the air or as something to catch him) or he'd use them as a shield. however, instead of brightly colored glyphs, his come in dark colors, such as purple, navy, or black, which is why he often refers to himself as a dark magick user.

however, his glyphs would also double as spells, based on what he says when casting a spell. the glyph resulting from a spell has a different color. so, for example, if he said chill out and used his staff to shoot a glyph in your direction (or anywhere else), the glyph would come out as white, either freezing his opponent or creating ice spears, or as defense, a shield of ice.

so i'm thinking he uses his darkly colored glyphs (purple, navy, black, dark green) as transportation and defense, like weiss has used them and for offense, he uses the brightly colored glyphs (blue, red, yellow) as spells. his semblance hasn't quite crossed my mind, but i figure him being a magick user could be considered that?

so yeah! i'm really in love with the ideas listed above and of course, he has limits to his magick and its uses, so he's not as OP as he seems.

also, his name is myriad viridian if anyone wanted to know! uwu

TL;DR - i have a magick user who uses gylphs as spells and transportation, how do i make it not seem OP as fuck.
