Help with magic system/fight scenes in a comedic short story based on Sanderson's "Mistborn" series
Post Body

Hear me out, this might be fun. I'm making a magic system based on Mistborn's Allomancy...only...the setting is a pizza place and the magic system is based on ingredients. I have a basic setup already, but I'm having so much trouble getting a (food) fight scene started. I also might want/need to tweak the magic system or add to it.

There are in this story those like unto "mistings" and "mistborn". The owner of each pizza house is a "mistborn". His workers are "mistings". That is to say the leader gets all powers and the workers get one each. I'm not sure this is the right way to handle this...were the workers hired because of their powers or could they potentially have multiple powers?

I want the story to contain multiple fights (probably 2-3, one to set up story and the magic systems) and culminate in one huge food fight with possibly major consequences (but not a serious context). For example, the winner takes all, every pizza place. Do those fights occur at the pizza places or on predetermined turf? What if those turfs are the pizza places?

Meats:

Pepperoni:

Pepperoni allows users to push on other ingredients. Anchovies are immune to this.

Canadian bacon:

Canadian Bacon allows users to pull other ingredients. Again, anchovies are immune.

Bacon:

Enhances the user’s natural senses.

Sausage:

Beefs up user. Effect is enhanced if used in communion with other meats.

Veggies:

Mushrooms:

Allows user to sense whether someone else in the vicinity is using pizza ingredients.

Olives:

Allows user to block Pineapple’s effect.

Peppers:

Enflame emotions

Onions:

Soothe emotions.

Higher ingredients:

Pizza sauce:

See what a pizza could be had you made different choices. Used occasionally to make better pizzas.

Pizza crust:

Can see into a pizza’s history. Again, useful for pizza making.

Mozzarella Cheese:

Allows user to slows down time in bubble

Parmesan Cheese:

Allows user to speed up time in bubble.

"Crazy" ingredients:

Anchovy:

Disables all reserves and causes vomiting. Works for both self and others. Cannot be pushed on directly, but can be hidden inside other ingredients.

Spinach:

Aids in digestion, enhancing the effects of the ingredients instantly. Can be used in conjunction with another person to cause them and yourself to experience the same on a higher level during physical contact.

Eating fresh pizza:

If a slice is ingested, it grants the eater all of the powers of the ingredients magnified. The older and colder the pizza, the more the effects dim, and if pizza is too old or cold, its effects could cause the powers to be weaker than normal.
