I wonder if this idea seems good as a basis for ya know, mechanics, the system, ya know that stuff like d20.. that for the game.
Ability attributes. Just 3. Body, Mind, Soul. Every check in the game from how hit points are calculated, trade skills, resistance, basically choose from those 3, one major and one minor influence.
Possible Combinations being:
BODY/body
BODY/mind
BODY/soul
MIND/body
MIND/mind...
So it can be basically interpreted as 9 attributes? Seems universally applicable considering D&D etc.. use around 6 or less? And the subliminal effects of only being given control over less more broad strokes of your character. It may inherently discourage a min/max mindset when one sits down to game?.. just thinking about it is all...

Yeah you could do a "Lev-Polarity" feature where the crucial decisions one makes has lasting effects on their spiritual polarity with neutral and unintentional positive/negative polarities being spiritually and magically inert, whereas positive polarities unlock 2 Cor 12 spiritual and magical gifts and intentional acts of antinomianism have vampiric effects which allows one to unlock demonic magics that bring harm upon the practitioner in exchange for demonic powers. The root of the word "grav" is the anti-thesis for the word "Lev"
Consider words like "El-lev-ate" are ultimately Hebrew in origin and "Lev" describes the spiritual center or heart of an individual. Thus the El-Lev-ate etymologically means "God-Heart-make" or "to bring ones spiritual polarity upwards toward God"
All of the words throughout English that utilize "lev" as a root are deacriptive of this fact.
Lev-El
Lev-a-tor (a muscle that lifts a member upwards)
El-lev-ate
Lev-it-ate
Etc.
It's conjugate or inverse:
Grav-it-ate
Ag-grav-ate
Grav-el
Etc
