I am working on a novel/series. It is set on a planet much like earth. In fact the peoples of the planet call it earth. Its oceans are so much greater and the land masses so much smaller, that I could call it Ocean, so we can tell them apart, so I can avoid, what the characters have to go through when talking to Raven about his other earth.
The main difference in Ocean and our world is on Ocean belief is real, to believe in something makes it happen. It can create gods, the bogyman under the bed. If you and 80,000 of your neighbors believe in your pure child demon goddess enough, she can build bridges, roads and entire cities out of artificial obsidian, witch glass, that she has witched as a mist from the ground.
There are two other differences. Magic does exist, it isn't a thing of spells and incantations, but more a type of esp. You have to have it in your genes, it cannot be taught. The deeper you understanding of how things truly work,things like chemistry, physics, mechanics, the tricks to get the largest result for the smallest amount of power. Knowing what small pebble to remove to cause a landslide. Highly skilled witches are call tricky mostly because they can find the way to get the most effect with the least amount of power, usually by thinking outside of the box and finding an unique and different way of doing something. finding that special trick. This ability to look at some thing from the side and behind the curtain can also make then tricky in other ways.
The other big difference is that the veil between the sprite lands and reality are thin and can be passed trough. Most of the creatures of belief, the imagined, live in the spirit land.
So please explore with me that other Earth, the world of belief.
