Re: Need help with some brainstorming

Mmm I'm sorry, but isn't 'the source of ultimate power' on itself going to make the reader roll his eyes? I'm sure the bringing back of family members that died is the thing that has been done most before.

But indeed I think if you want to stick to the plan, that you have to go with "Power corrupts". After all you don't say like: ah now I'm a farmer's boy, tomorrow I'm going to steal the ultimate source of power. If all evil farmer boys could do that... No the evil mastermind is one who has established an empire or something, but wants to defend it and expand it and so on. That's why he needs the ultimate source of power.
