Simple Tips for Magic Systems

Typically splitting the writing/explanation of the magic helps me to convey my point.

What is it?

just a general explanation of what the magic actually is, maybe a vague explanation of how it works. Who can wield it? Is it genetic or learnt? What does it look like? Stuff like that.

Purpose

The narrative purpose of the magic is it used for flashy fights that hold more emotional weight through the outcome of the battle, or is it the enchantment of an item and the giving of such an item, means something?

Origins/history

This is self-explanatory and I personally believe this is important, although really only works with medium-hard magic systems, soft systems can have it but may cause issues in world-building.

Techniques/methods/Casting

Obviously, it must be explained to some capacity how magic is done and what happens. eg. if 𝑥 is added to y then 𝓏 will occur. Of course, this is respective to what the magic is itself. It’s mainly the place to further expand on the ‘what is it?’ section.

Limitations

THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE. Please, cripple your magic to hell, and bring those who wield it down to a level only slightly above the normal person. OR create a cost that is great enough to be debatably not worth it in certain situations. of course this really depends on the hardness of your system. This is also where you put something like the cost and price of your magic.

Progression

how does the magic evolve over the course of a wielder’s life? whether they learn or have it genetically handed down how does one get better at magic?

I’ll be posting an example of how this looks when paired with an actual example soon, so you’re welcome to follow for that, otherwise, I hope this helped! Have a great day :)

Slay the Princess: a summary

A bit old now, over a year and a half ago now haha, but since I did one of these for Zephyrus and A Sadness Runs Through Him, I figured it'd be cool to do one for creature too. So here are my favorite frames from creature :)
