So I need help. Basically, I'm writing a story, and the main reason my protagonist characters even set out on their adventure in the first place is because they're all looking for a little girl who was born with to much magic power, and she, plus a bunch of other kids with the same problem, got kidnapped by some people. But I have one problem…. I don't know why. At first, I had the idea that maybe the bad guys were absorbing their magic to use as power for some project somehow, but now I've kind developed the magic in this universe a little bit more. Instead of magic being, like, energy, it's more of a physical attribute. Something some people can use naturally, like how some people are double-jointed and some aren't. And when someone "runs out of magic power," they're just sore. Like when you do too many push-ups for your body to handle. So now that magic's something that can't be absorbed, I have no idea why these people need these kids. So far I have like a couple ideas, but I'm worried they're kind of lame.

  1. They're still using the kiddos as batteries, but instead of absorbing power, the bad guys use some sort of machine or something to force they're bodies to use magic .
  2. They're trying to harvest the magic genes out of them in hopes to become all powerful and overthrow humanity as a god blah blah blah Light Yagami stuff.
    If anyone as any ideas, or, idk. I JUST NEED SOME INSPIRATION!!

^ children ten and under are at the best age to be brainwashed by 're-education' (according to the show criminal minds so who knows how accurate that is but…) So yeah maybe they are trying to turn the kids over to their side to while they can still be brainwashed so when they get older they'll have super powerful loyal allies.

The brainwashing/soldier thing makes sense, especially since most the kids were under age ten when kidnapped. Now all I gotta do is figure out why my villain need soldiers… antagonists are hard to write, man.
