 Wow I was literally working on something similar to this when you posted it! Witholding interest until the 'points' system is revealed, however I agree with the 'phases of creation' bit, I have something similar worked out in my RP. Basically, magic and wars were extremely expensive in the earliest phases (called Ages: Archaic, Mythic, Civilization, Twilight, respectively) of play. This seems a bit more freeform than the ridgid tabletop ideas I had bouncing around for a few weeks (there were grids!)  and I'm looking forward to see what you have worked out.

So glad to hear some tentative interest-like qualities! I am working on the points and phases now. It goes something like what you were describing, as I think we most likely have looked at a few of the same systems before, or at least I would guess.
