The obviose solution is to make Alt accounts for your characters, and use these to bypass the limit! RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN!

Does it count as an expy if you need an explanation as to why it's an expy?

Let's say a being has no affinity or ability trait for plasmamancy. If they practice plasmamancy their whole life, will they eventually be able to cast intermediate or higher spells without burning out? I'm asking if affinity is strictly necessary to bypass burn out or if it can be circumvented with time and diligence.

Speaking of burn out, what is it? Does it affect the mind? Does it affect the body? Does it affect the soul? (Questions asked in this way to prevent mathematician's answers. ;))

$$$
Price check on a [Healing Hands] trait that gives a race the ability to cure disease or repair injury by putting their hands in the affected area, at which point the hands start glowing and the body starts healing. Limited by healer fatigue and strength of magic (a healer gets better with experience and thus age). I've seen this in multiple works so I'm not sure if it can be classified as an expy or not.
Price check on an [Eats Evil Souls] trait that gives a race or being the ability to eat souls, but they only benefit from eating evil souls and eating neutral/good souls harms them (dependent on the soul's morality, rather than the soul having a Good/Neutral/Evil trait). Inspired by Soul Eater, but still has unique stuff.
Price check on a [Strong Soul] trait

For definitions of good/neutral/evil, I suggest looking at a D&D manual or something like that if you really need to. I'm talking about generic defend the weak, be nice to people, respect life, etc. stuff.

As for affinity/ability, I suggest you simply combine them. Having them separate is unnecessarily obstructive and complex.

EDIT: I found this in the OP:
Affinities indicate which schools of magic a creation is associated with. One affinity is available for free for any creation, and on sapient races, has the effect of granting all normal members of the race an inborn ability to use the specified path on a novice level.
See, this is pretty simple. It's basically "what magic a race uses." Nothing about constitution or strength or any of that stuff, just simply what magic they use. It even says specifically that it gives members of the race ability to use magic.

I wonder if eating souls can be considered good at all, even if it's only evil ones. Soul eating is something I would think of as Irrevocably evil, considering you prevent them from having an afterlife and kill them with no chance of revival or anything else. I'd maybe put that in the he who fight monsters category at best.

Anyways, speaking of expies, where do we draw the line between taking inspiration from a work and copying it?

Who's turn is it to explain Objective Morality to Andres? Please don't be mine.

Imagine an atheist IRL. He's legally killing someone in self-defence. The atheist believes that the person he's killing will have no afterlife and will have no chance of revival or anything else. Is the atheist evil, even in spirit?

Now imagine someone in YG2. He can either permanently kill an evil person or let ten thousand innocent people be non-permanently killed. What choice makes him good and what choice makes him evil?

In my opinion, permanently killing someone is alone not something that would drive someone over the moral event horizon. It is simply to truly kill someone. It's the context around the action that marks the killer as evil or something else.

Andres, what would [Strong Soul] do?
I dunno, I guess it makes it less likely to be destroyed and makes it better with soul-based magic and stuff.

I forget many things. It also seems that KJP forgot he wrote that. Either that or the rules have changed without the OP being updated.

Oh come on, I even explained what I meant by good, evil, and neutral this time. It's right under the price check. Also, it's "whose" not "who's". "Who's" is used for "who is".

I'm guessing it confers immunity to soul-eating?
Which is also what I pricechecked.

Ooh question: Would making 1.1E microbial organisms with lets say immortality result in 10,000 microbes? If so, that's ridiculously small for a microbial organism. Take note that these theoretical microbe are not sapient.

Their price would drop due to having the [Size-99999999999] trait.

No, you didn't. You said "LIK DND LOL!" and pretty much left it at that. You see Andres, morality in this universe (Outside dubious choices of Gods choosing sphere like "Goodness" and "Villainry") isn't on a scale. It isn't objective. Action A isn't evil all the time from the perspective of everyone. It is subjective, like in real life.
