Post on r/Goodworldbuilding by my good fellow u/PMSlimeKing: Clarification: By "strongest" and "weakest", I mean in terms of physical or otherwise natural strength, rather than military or technological power. That said, military and technological strength are allowed in this thread.

I had a conversation about this recently on reddit and thought I'd share. Is there an underlying philosophy to your magic system(s)? If yes, what is it? Does the individual magic user's own philosophy affect their magic?

Hello everyone! 😊 I'm Ari Kelly and I am a big reader and creative writer. One of my favourite aspects of writing is world building, which made this group catch my eye. I tend to have side-quests and smaller projects when i'm writing, but I have a main project that I'm working on that I'd be happy to share. I'm excited to be a part of this community and to see what I can learn from this group! ( p.s. this process can feel a little weird or awkward at first, but introducing yourself can be the first step to having a connected group, so I invite everyone to introduce themselves 😊)

Across every world, at the exact same moment, all sound stops. No voices, no wind, no birds, no machines, absolute silence. It lasts for three minutes… then everything returns to normal. In your world, what caused it, and how do people explain it?
