I'm grinding gears on a script for a small little animated project but before i get to it, i want to patch up the lore and enrich it as much as i can. Yet unfortunately i kinda ran out of brain b^ubbles as i was going through it :"D A little help is welcome!

Basic brain b^ubbles so far:
We have a magical world, where this thing called Guardians exist. They are sort of this special order of knights/magic users that are supposed to help maintain balance in the world i suppose, set up by a group of ancient magic users in order to train the new generations in perpetuating their task.
I wanted to spice up the world and the Guardians a little bit, maybe make this prestigious position come with some kind of law you must obey code that if broken will curse you. Also the reason behind their very existence since i cant decide.

Any opinions please?

Idk if you are still needing help but:

• What do you mean by maintaining balance? How does the magic do this? Is it a particular type of magic?
• Maybe they have strict laws you must obey because some incident happened when they first formed? Someone went rogue or tried to abuse the power?
• The training thing, is it like a school? Can anyone do magic?
• What kind of curse are you brain brewing? I recommend researching into different mythical folklore for creativity lightning strike
• Something that might help is to figure out the limits of the magic in the world and the consequences of it
