What on earth do you mean by shaming anyone? How would anyone be ashamed about the setup of Bleach that was made by Kubo Tite not anyone here or anywhere else that loves/likes Bleach. There is nothing wrong or shameful about the system he used. So why would the idea of shame even enter your head never mind be thrown out there like that?

As for the system:
 * 1) Your premise is wrong, it is not a magic system.
 * 2) Why bother? There wasnt much to fix. And this doesnt fix anything. Real life isnt so narrowly defined, it is widely varied and messy so why should this be anything else? Not that it is all that messy. Complex yes,
 * 3) If you chance something, then what you replace it with has to make sense and be more than just the slightest of improvements. This doesnt achieve that.
 * 4) Soul stones - just why? What's the point of that?
 * 5) Class system based on hair colour? Not worthwhile. You seriously need to do much better than that.
 * 6) It is also a bit negative and regressive. People's ability, talent, limits to being promoted being tied to/limited by their appearance, birth, the purebloodedness vs vermin, classism, despising people just because they are different to you, it all has a bit of a class/racial overtone don't you think? Was this deliberate or subconcious? Are you taking your (presume youre writing one) fanfic in a useful direction with this by highlighting social injustices? There must be a better way of telling that story than this though, surely? If you're going to change something, why not tell the story of the Shinigami becoming less evil, more civilised than they were in the past (its well flagged in the series itself) rather than introducing more negativity to the current timeline that doesnt serve any purpose or improve it. Would be a much better way of integrating it. #Also better to integrate than completely rewrite.
