Which power systems in fiction are considered the best for character development?

The magic in 'His Dark Materials' is remarkable. The daemons are a unique part of the magic system. They are an external manifestation of a person's soul. The alethiometer is a magical device that can answer any question if you know how to read it. Then there's the magic in 'The Magicians' series. Here, magic is taught at Brakebills University. The students learn various spells and skills, and the magic is often complex and dangerous, with the potential for great power but also great harm. It has a darker, more adult - like take on magic compared to some other series.

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, the bending system is amazing. People can control one of the four elements - water, earth, fire, or air. Each element has its own unique fighting style and applications. For example, waterbenders can heal as well as fight. Also, the Quirks in My Hero Academia are cool power systems. They are unique superpowers that every individual hero or villain has, like Deku's One For All, which gives him super strength and other abilities.

Definitely 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. In this novel, Bond's character is developed through his interactions with the female narrator. We see his charm, his skills, and also his flaws. It gives a different perspective on Bond as we see him through someone else's eyes, which makes for a very interesting character study.

The magic system in 'Lord of the Rings' is great. There's the power of the Rings, especially the One Ring. Magic is associated with different races like the Elves having their own kind of magic. It's a magic that is ancient and tied to the very fabric of the world. The Istari, or wizards, also bring their own magic. It all combines to create a sense of wonder and a world that feels rich and full of mystery.

In many fictions, power systems often play a crucial role. For example, in some science - fiction novels like 'Dune', the spice Melange is a key part of the power system. It gives the ability to navigate space and is highly sought after, thus controlling the economic and political power in the universe of the story.

I think 'The Once and Future King' is really good for character development. It delves deep into Arthur's growth from an innocent boy to a king, and also develops the characters of Merlin, Lancelot, and Guinevere in a very nuanced way.

Definitely 'Batman: Year One'. It shows us how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, not just the physical transformation but also the mental and emotional one. We see his struggles, his mistakes, and how he grows into the symbol of justice that we know. Commissioner Gordon also has great character development in this story, as he battles corruption within the police force and forms an unlikely alliance with Batman.

The Mage origin story. As a mage, you are constantly in a precarious situation. You have to deal with the Chantry's strict control over magic and the fear and prejudice of non - mages. This origin story forces you to make difficult choices about your magic use, your loyalty to the Circle of Magi, and your relationships with other mages and non - mages alike. It really shapes your character in terms of how you view power, freedom, and responsibility.

It depends. In most cases, character development is a common element in fiction. But in some memoirs or biographies, which are nonfiction, there can also be significant character development as the person's life unfolds.

In the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, daemons are an interesting power - related concept. Every person has a daemon which is an external manifestation of their soul. The connection between a person and their daemon is a source of power and identity. And different species have different relationships with their daemons which affects the power dynamics in the world of the story.
