Re: Steampunk-like world setting needs hero/power ideas
You could also take inspiration in the "Full Metal Alchemist" series (there is steam-based technology, and there is alchemy, a kind of magic with limitations as "drawing an alchemy circle" and "requires a base amount of matter equal to the final amount of matter : equivalent trade").
Or Final Fantasy 9, where the level of technology is quite the same, and there is also magic (element-based magic IIRC).
