Creating Magic Systems:
“Magic, like any good lie, needs a little logic to make it believable.” Magic is the heartbeat of fantasy. It’s the sparkle in the air, the impossible made real. But as any fantasy writer will tell you, magic isn’t just about flashy spells and enchanted swords. It’s about rules. Or the lack of them. Or… something in between.
