Im looking for some writing inspiration. Im looking for not so known elements of different cultures that would make incredible powers.

    Not an Arab, but perhaps, you should check out Arabian aspect of paganism? So far, I’ve seen characters “bending” sand with their weapon, preferably sword. Or you know, stealthy group of super-human assassins. But all these characters are forced to incorporate South Asian elements.

      Yeah. Thats why im trying to get some more direct inspiration and not just get the classic Japanese style kind of powers.

        By any chance, do you know about Hathim Al-Tai of the Tayyi tribe? Then there’s also Sinbad the Sailor. I don’t remember well about his feats, but he’s also a popular character from the Arabic culture.
